STUDI IMPLEMENTASI KONSEP RUANG HETEROTOPIA PADA INTERIOR GEREJA KATOLIK TRITUNGGAL MAHAKUDUS TUKA-DALUNG BALI

Heterotopias space, according to Michel Foucoult, is an unrealistic space or dimension in a realistic one. These sites are very dynamic and can be changed by even the smallest turn of events or time. Some of these changes vary from mild-changes to, what was called by Foucault, counter-sites, a site with two very measurable differences of activities, even the exact opposite activities e.g. real sites to unreal sites and sacred sites to profane sites. This phenomen was found, unexpectedly, in a Catholic Church, Tritunggal Mahakudus in Tuka-Dalung Bali, a building generally known by its high sanctity. A phenomenon that was thought unlikely to be found in a church, especially a Catholic Church, was made possible by cultural changes, one form of Catholic's enculturation movement, and the shifting of time or activity. The main cause of these so called phenomena is the presence and the opening and closing of a gedong's door, a traditional Balinese room usually used in traditional Balinese houses and temples for storing and holding religious and sacred items. These adapted gedong was first used as a Balinese cultural representation in a western-based church, but in practice it serves more purposes than just that. It serves both as the connector and the divider of sanctity of a room. Furthermore, it also became a prominent being of changing situation and activity (from sacred to profane and vice versa) thus becoming a heterotopias room. One of it factors is the placement of these partition wall between sacred area and profane area during different activities. Abstract ini Bahasa Indonesia : Ruang heterotopia menurut Michel Foucault adalah dimensi atau ruang tidak nyata dalam ruang nyata. Dimensi tidak nyata ini relatif dan bisa bergeser. Pergeseran dimensi yang relatif ini bisa terjadi dari pergeseran karakter-karakter ruang yang saling bertentangan, misalnya dari ruang yang nyata ke tidak nyata, ruang sakral ke profan. Fenomena ini, secara tak terduga, juga terjadi di dalam sebuah bangunan gereja Katolik, yang biasanya terkenal dengan kesakralannya yang tinggi. Fenomena ruang heterotopia pada Gereja Katolik Tritunggal Mahakudus (TMK) Tuka-Dalung Bali ini terjadi oleh pergeseran dimensi budaya, sebagai salah satu wujud inkulturasi budaya lokal, dan waktu atau aktivitas. Fenomena ini ditandai dengan terbuka dan tertutupnya pintu gedong, sebuah ruang tradisional Bali yang digunakan untuk menyimpan benda-benda keagamaan dan suci, pada gereja ini. Gedong yang semula ada sebagai perwujudan adopsi budaya lokal pada gereja TMK, dalam prakteknya memiliki fungsi yang lebih, yaitu sebagai penghubung dan pemisah kesakralan sebuah ruangan, sebagai penanda terjadinya perubahan aktivitas (sakral ke profan dan sebaliknya) dan membentuk ruang heterotopia. Salah satu faktor pendukungnya adalah terjadinya pergeseran dinding pembatas area sakral dan profan saat terjadinya perubahan aktivitas.

Hendrix: A Conversational Intelligent Tutoring System for Java Programming

This paper proposes a novel generic architecture for a conversational intelligent tutoring system named Hendrix. Hendrix mimics a human tutor by guiding a learner through a given knowledge domain using natural language. Hendrix converses with a learner to identify gaps in knowledge through questioning, expanding the curriculum when gaps in knowledge are identified. Hendrix supports learners by detecting questions and providing definitions and examples. Hendrix novel architecture uses a graph of concepts to dynamically generate tutorials. Hendrix uses both syntactic and semantic language analysis to extract and match information from learner utterances. Hendrix’ two loop algorithm is dependent on identifying the short term goal a learner in each conversational turn. In a pilot study, Hendrix correctly classified the utterance type of 91% of input sentences, marked 94.5% of question answers correctly, and was rated 3.93 out of 5 for user satisfaction
‘Sound Skeleton’: Interactive transformation of improvised dance movements into a spatial sonic disembodiment

Abstract This article discusses some aspects and ideas of the practice based Ph.D. research project ‘Sound Skeleton’, an interactive ChoreoSonic environment in which the spatiality of dance movements will be transformed into a real-time 3D spatial sound composition. The project resides in the fields of interactive ambisonic surround sound design, contemporary improvised dance, wireless electronic tracking systems and computer programming. Several spatial observations referring to movement theorist Laban and psycho-acoustic scientist Blauert are reviewed and integrated in the project development. The Data Interpreting Methodology (DIM) is introduced as the mapping procedure that is developed in ‘Sound Skeleton’. As a conclusion of this article several parametric mapping models are presented. A virtual spatial sound body outside the dancing body is created: ‘a choreography of a spatial sonic disembodiment’.

Implementing Secure Authorized Deduplication Technique in Hybrid Cloud

Using the cloud resources optimally, like reducing the amount of storage space and saving bandwidth, is a challenging task. This can be highly achieved by adopting one of the important data compression techniques for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data called data de-duplication, and has been widely used in cloud storage to. To protect the confidentiality of sensitive data while supporting de-duplication, the convergent encryption technique has been proposed to encrypt the data before outsourcing. To better protect data security, this paper makes the first attempt to formally address the problem of authorized data de-duplication. Different from traditional de-duplication systems, the differential privileges of users are further considered in duplicate check besides the data itself. We also present several new de-duplication constructions supporting authorized duplicate check in a hybrid cloud architecture. Security analysis demonstrates that our scheme is secure in terms of the definitions specified in the proposed security model. As a proof of concept, we implement a prototype of our proposed authorized duplicate check scheme and conduct test-bed experiments using our prototype. We show that our proposed authorized duplicate check scheme incurs minimal overhead compared to normal operations.
A module for acoustic-phonetic transcription of fluently spoken German speech

This system is a module of a speech understanding system developed at our institute. After a low-pass filtering and sampling, the speech signal is divided into overlapping frames. These frames are classified into phonetic classes. With a set of rules, adjacent frames corresponding to a phone are combined into segments. The output is a string of segments containing several alternative phones, together with their matching score and prosodic features. An example and results are presented.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a rare, but important cause of abdominal pain with high mortality and morbidity rates. Postprandial abdominal pain, sitophobia and weight loss are the important clinical signs and symptoms. The main goal of the treatment is to relieve patient’s symptoms by restoration of intestinal perfusion and to prevent intestinal necrosis. Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and conventional angiography are used in the diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia. Surgical or endovascular interventions as well as medical therapy may be used in the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia. In this article, we present a 60-year-old female case of chronic mesenteric ischemia with inferior and superior mesenteric artery occlusion, who was successfully treated with splenic arteryto-superior mesenteric artery bypass surgery.
Utilization of cluster of PCs for the study of dynamic load balancing

The main concern of this paper is the utilization of an inexpensive cluster of PCs to study dynamic load balancing technique (DLB) for parallel tree computation. Dynamic load balancing is not only a central issue in the cluster of computers model, but also is required for many algorithms such as parallel search tree. The basic conclusion of the paper is that excellent performance can be achieved by proper implementation of the dynamic load balancing round robin (RR) scheme.
Simultaneous dual-plane, real-time magnetic resonance imaging of oral cavity movements in advanced trombone players.

Background This paper describes the use of real-time magnetic resonance imaging to simultaneously obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) videos in both a sagittal and coronal plane during the performance of a musical exercise in five advanced trombone players. Methods Dual-slice recordings were implemented in a frame-interleaved manner with 20 ms acquisitions per frame to achieve two interleaved videos at a rate of 25 frames per second. A customized MATLAB toolkit was used for the extraction of line profiles from MRI videos to quantify tongue movements associated with exercise performance from both perspectives. Results Across all subjects, the analyses revealed precise coupling of vertical movements of the dorsal tongue surface (DTS), viewed from a sagittal perspective, with reduction in the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the air channel formed between the DTS and the hard palate, viewed from a coronal perspective. The cross-correlation between these movements was very strong (mean R=0.967). Conclusions These results demonstrate the unique utility of this dual-slice technology in describing the coordination of complex tongue movements occurring in two planes (i.e., three directions) simultaneously, lending a deeper understanding of lingual motor control during trombone performance.
41 OBJECTIVE VIDEO QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Digital video data, stored in video databases and distributed through communication networks, is subject to various kinds of distortions during acquisition, compression, processing, transmission, and reproduction. For example, lossy video compression techniques, which are almost always used to reduce the bandwidth needed to store or transmit video data, may degrade the quality during the quantization process. For another instance, the digital video bitstreams delivered over error-prone channels, such as wireless channels, may be received imperfectly due to the impairment occurred during transmission. Package-switched communication networks, such as the Internet, can cause loss or severe delay of received data packages, depending on the network conditions and the quality of services. All these transmission errors may result in distortions in the received video data. It is therefore imperative for a video service system to be able to realize and quantify the video quality degradations that occur in the system, so that it can maintain, control and possibly enhance the quality of the video data. An effective image and video quality metric is crucial for this purpose.
Reliability (Revalidation) of MSU MRI Classification of Lumbar Disc Herniation in 100 Patients Series: Severity and Objective Surgical Criteria

Background Data: Success rate of discectomy is greatly variable between surgeons due to lack of clear categorization of lumbar disc patients. Valid radiological objective criteria are required especially for patients with uncertain surgical indication to help in pre-operative patient assessment, surgical selection and research of post-operative outcomes of comparable level of pathology. MSU Classification reports size and location in three precise increments, described simply 1-2-3 and A-B-C providing clear objective classification of disc herniation resulting in excellent interexaminarreliability. Purpose To test reliability of MSU MRI classification of lumbar disc herniation in helping surgical selection and correlation with preoperative clinical presentation and postoperative clinical and functional outcome. Study Design Observational analytic retrospective study. Patients and Methods Retrospective investigations of one hundred patientswho underwent lumbar discectomy at Ain Shams University between January 2014 and June 2015 in term of MSU classification. Results Only 2 patients (2%) in our series had grade 1-A. All other 98 patients had MSU grades with size 2 or 3 and/or B or C location or 2 or 3 combination of horizontal disc locations (A, B or C). Two cases of unintended durotomy occurred in MSU grade 3-AB (40%) and the other 3 cases occurred in grade 2-AB (60%). One case of CSF leak occurred in 3-AB herniated disc lesion (50%) and another one in 2-AB lesion (50%). Twelve patients (12%) developed recurrent sciatica with mean interval of 47.92 weeks after first disc surgery. Only 5 patients (5%) underwent second disc surgery with mean interval of 6.2 months. 95 patients (95%) had good to excellent result. Conclusion: MSU classification provides solid, universal and objective radiological description of lumbar disc herniation helping patient selection for surgery. (2016ESJ097)
ARGUS REFERENCE MANUAL

Argus is an experimental language/system designed to support the construction and execution of distributed programs. Argus is intended to support only a subset of the applications that could benefit from being implemented by a distributed program. Two properties distinguish these applications: they make use of on-line data that must remain consistent in spite of concurrency and hardware failures, and they provide services under real-time constraints that are not severe. Examples of such applications are office automation systems and banking systems. Argus is based on CLU. It is largely an extension of CLU, but there are a number of differences. Like CLU, Argus provides procedures for procedural abstraction, iterators for control abstraction, and clusters for data abstraction. In addition, Argus provides guardians that encapsulate and control access to one or more resources. Argus also provides equate modules as a convenient way to refer to constants. As in CLU, modules may be parameterized, so that a single module can define a class of related abstractions.
Conducting assessment online: educational developers' perspectives

This study investigated educational developers’ perspectives on the conduct of assessment in Australian universities when online components were introduced into courses or subjects. To advance the inquiry, four research questions were developed that focussed on: the characteristics of educational developers that influenced the assessment advice they provided to academics; significant influences upon educational developers’ thinking about assessment; critical assessment issues they identified when online components were introduced; and how to represent their thinking about assessment when it was conducted partially or fully online. The method of research was located within a qualitative, interpretive paradigm based on multiple case studies associated with the six participants who were employed in different Australian universities. Data collection involved three interviews with each participant, conducted in three consecutive semesters between June 2004 and July 2005. Data were digitally recorded during each interview, transcribed and then electronically imported into the qualitative software program Nvivo. Techniques of qualitative analysis were used to identify, describe and interpret critical components in participants’ thinking about forms of assessment they were encountering online. The main conclusions of the inquiry were that (1) although the characteristics of educational developers in the sample group were described, their relevance became more apparent within the larger university contexts in which they worked; (2) significant influences upon educational developers occurred at an individual, as well as an institutional level and these were represented in a model that encapsulated key components in respondents’ perspectives; (3) critical issues identified by respondents revolved around the difficulties of establishing the identity of online students, how to assess online discussions appropriately, use of the term ‘interactivity’, the value of online quizzes, determining transparent criteria for assessing online group work, embedding generic attributes in online assessment, criterion-referenced assessment, assessing international students online and the impact of university assessment policy; and (4) educational developers’ perspectives on assessment were represented in three models: assessment online in traditional campuses, assessment online with a supported model in traditional campuses and a strategic, off-campus/off-shore model for assessment conducted online.
A Computer-based Decision Support System Used in Identifying Relationship between Oral Symptoms and Systemic Diseases

The aim of this study is to present a dental patient management software application module that offers the possibility to record the oral symptoms of systemic diseases and presents a presumptive diagnosis. We implemented a web application for patients’ management in the dental office which includes such a module that besides presenting a presumptive diagnosis also provides detailed information regarding the disease and the recommended laboratory investigations. The implemented software application allows the selection of the oral lesions revealed during intraoral examination and once the oral lesion has been selectedthe application displays the list of the systemic diseases which presents the selected oral lesion as an oral symptom. After displaying the probable systemic diseases, the user can learn more information about a particular disease by clicking on its label. An innovative aspect of the proposed application is the existence of the module that allows the presumptive diagnosis of a systemic disease by selecting the oral lesions found during intraoral examination. Also the software application offers information regarding the selected systemic disease etiology, oral signs and symptoms and the laboratory investigations required for the final diagnosis.
How was the traditional makam theory westernized for the sake of modernization?

Bu makalede, Turkiye’de yasanan Batililasma surecinde, geleneksel makam teorisini modernlestirmek isteyenlerce yapilan donusturucu mudahaleler, soylem analizi temelinde ve elestirel baglamda tartisilmaktadir. Makam, Turk muziginin oldugu kadar Dogu muziginin de en temel kavramlari arasinda yer alir. Meseleyi kavramsal cercevede dogru bir sekilde incelemek maksadiyla burada, dayandiklari muzik unsurlari acisindan iki temel muzik teorisi yaklasimi ayirt edilmistir: (i.) dizi-merkezli ve (ii.) melodi-merkezli. Bunlardan ilki, tipik olarak Bati armonik tonalitesine ozgu kavrayisi temsil ederken, ikincisi de Batililasma donemi oncesindeki geleneksel Turk makam kavrayisini simgeler. Bu donem uc baslik altinda ele alinmistir: (i.) ‘modernles(tir)meden onceki geleneksel Turk makam kavrayisi, (ii.) modernles(tir)me evresindeki donusturucu mudahaleler, (iii.) son donemlerdeki yeni ve elestirel yaklasimlar. Makam teorisi, Turkiye tarihinde bir zamanlar geleneksel bir mirasi iletmek amaciyla kullanildigindan, kendi kulturel cercevesi icinde, kendine ozgu bir uygulama ve egitim tarzina sahipti. Modernlesmeden once makamlari aciklamak icin matematik, felsefe veya kompozisyona dayali uc farkli teorik modelin kullanildigi belirlenmistir. 19. yuzyilda, Turk modernlesmesi, ‘Bati’ya benzeme’ arzusunun tezahur etmeye basladigi bir asamaya ulasti. Bu yuzyilin sonlarindan baslayarak, makam kavrayisi da bazi donusturucu mudahalelere maruz kaldi. Once, Bati muzik teorisine ozgu dizi ve tonalite gibi kavramlarla mukayese edildi. Bu asamada, armonik tonaliteye ozgu dizi-merkezli teori, makam icin insa edilmek istenen ‘yeni/modern’ teori icin tam ve mukemmel bir model olarak goruldu. Yekta, Ezgi ve Arel gibi onde gelen modernlestiriciler, geleneksel makam perdelerini, armonik islevlere sahip Avrupa tonal dizileri olarak yorumlamakta herhangi bir mahsur gormediler. Dahasi, bu donusturucu mudahaleleri, makam teorisini modernlestirmek adina zorunlu bir ilerleme olarak da kabul ettiler. Ozellikle Arel tarafindan ortaya konulan model, uzun yillar boyunca, yerli veya yabanci arastirmaci, egitimci ve muzisyenler tarafindan, Turk muziginin yegâne modern teorisi olarak kabul gormus ve kullanilmistir. Ancak, gercek muzik icralariyla devamli surette celisen bu teorinin kusurlu ve eksik yonleri, onun ‘kriz’ icine girmesine ve en azindan son elli yildir, cok yonlu elestirilere tabi tutulmasina neden olmustur. Konuya dair yeni tartismalardaki baslica gorusler ortaya konulmak suretiyle burada, makam kavraminin, ozellikle Osmanli dunyasindaki tarihsel seyri de goz onunde bulundurularak, melodi-merkezli bir yaklasimla anlasilmasi gerektigi acikca ortaya cikmistir. Sonucta, Osmanli dunyasinda 15. yuzyildan itibaren gelistirilen melodik harekete dayali makam teorisine, eski itibar ve gecerliliginin iade edilmesi ve bu adimin, yeni teorik calismalar icin baslangic alinmasi gerektigi one surulmustur.
Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present

Goldberg provides a survey of performance art of the 20th century tracing the tradition's evolution from futurism through constructivism, Dada, surrealism and the Bauhaus. The practice in the United States (beginning with Black Mountain College through the New York scene of the 1950s and 1960s to the influence of conceptual art and the work of "the media generation") is also examined.
