Modeling Microorganism Transmission with Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches: An Inquiry Activity
Authors: Guzik Hillary , McCoy-Simandle Kessler
Published: April 2017

Students will test Madagascar hissing cockroach's capacity as a vector for transmission of microorganisms. By comparing a cockroach exposed to human contact (handled by students) and a cockroach with limited exposure (not handled), students can assess the ability of cockroaches to transmit microorganisms from one location (hands) to another (agar plate where the microorganism will be grown). This will allow students to determine if the Madagascar hissing cockroach, the classroom pet, is a potential vector for microorganisms. Students then will be able to question and relate the concept of insects and objects as vectors for common pathogen transfer.
Microgreen Farming and Nutrition: A Discovery-Based Laboratory Module to Cultivate Biological and Information Literacy in Undergraduates
Authors: Weber Carolyn F.
Published: April 2017

As the world's population grows, sustainable food production and consumption has emerged as a complex biological problem. Managing this problem will require informed action by all citizens, which necessitates heightened comprehension of complicated quantitative datasets from multiple sources of information. This makes it imperative that undergraduates develop quantitative skills and information literacy in the context of biology. This laboratory module provides a framework for conducting discovery experiments that examine the resource demand (i.e., water use) of cultivation methods (compost-based, hydroponic) and their impact on the nutritional value of microgreens. Students use experimental and published data to compare the nutritional value and resource demands of microgreens to that of vegetables produced on industrial farms. Quantitative analyses culminate in critical thinking and discussion through which students come to a consensus on the potential of microgreens to be a sustainably produced crop that serves human nutritional needs.
Heart Origami: Student Activities for Exploring Principles of Cardiac Development
Authors: Kao Robert
Published: April 2017

Developing classroom activities that help promote students’ ability to synthesize and evaluate mechanisms of organ formation is important for their life-long learning in the life sciences. Here, I present several techniques that engage and gauge (engauge) students in middle school science outreach and undergraduate college settings by using normal development of the zebrafish heart. The zebrafish heart is used as a scaffold for enabling students to explore how developmental principles can inform heart repair and regeneration, as well as mechanisms that underlie heart abnormalities, such as cardia bifida (split heart). These strategies set the framework for future investigations into how instructors can engage their students in the process of scientific inquiry.
Determination of leachate toxicity through acute toxicity using Daphnia pulex and Anaerobic Toxicity Assays
Authors: Torres Lozada Patricia , Carabalí Rivera Yazmín Stefhany , Barba Ho Luz Edith
Published: April 2017

The municipal solid waste (MSW) of large cities, in particular in developing countries, is mainly disposed of in landfills (LFs), whose inadequate management generates the emission of greenhouse gases and the production of leachates with high concentrations of organic and inorganic matter and occasionally heavy metals. In this study, the toxicity of the leachates from an intermediate-age municipal landfill was evaluated by ecotoxicity and anaerobic digestion tests. The acute toxicity assays with Daphnia pulex presented a toxic unit (TU) value of 49.5%, which indicates that these leachates should not be directly discharged into water sources or percolate into the soil because they would affect the ecosystems served by these waters. According to statistical analyses, the leachate toxicity is mainly associated with the inorganic fraction, with chlorides, calcium hardness and calcium having the greatest influence on the toxicity. The anaerobic toxicity assays showed that in the exposure stage, the methanogenic activity exceeded that of the control, which suggests that the anaerobic bacteria easily adapted to the leachate. Therefore, this treatment could be an alternative to mitigate the toxicity of the studied leachates. The inhibition presented in the recovery stage, represented by a reduction of the methanogenic activity, could arise because the amount of supplied substrate was not enough to fulfill the carbon and nutrient requirements of the bacterial population present.
Mechanical characterization of porous asphalt mixes modifying the asphalt with fatty acid amides -FAA-
Authors: Senior Arrieta Vanessa , Córdoba Maquilon Jorge Eliecer
Published: April 2017

Porous asphalt mixes (PAM), form a special road surface for asphalt pavement structures, have a special particle size distribution that lets infiltrate to the runoff storm water through of it because of its voids content about 20 %. Many researchers conducted studies and have concluded that the use of modified asphalts is completely necessary to design PAM. Organic and chemical additives and special procedures as foamed asphalt have enhanced the performance of PAM, during their service life. This paper is focused on the mechanical characterization of PAM and how the asphalt modified with fatty acid amides, influenced on their behavior and performance. Based on an experimental methodology with laboratory tests aimed at establishing a comparison between porous asphalt mixes, using for its design and production a penetration 60-70 pure asphalt and another one asphalt modified with fatty acid amides.
Evaluation of the methodologies used to generate random pavement profiles based on the power spectral density: An approach based on the International Roughness Index
Authors: Goenaga Boris Jesús , Fuentes Pumarejo Luis Guillermo , Mora Lerma Otto Andrés
Published: April 2017

The pavement roughness is the main variable that produces the vertical excitation in vehicles. Pavement profiles are the main determinant of (i) discomfort perception on users and (ii) dynamic loads generated at the tire-pavement interface, hence its evaluation constitutes an essential step on a Pavement Management System. The present document evaluates two specific techniques used to simulate pavement profiles; these are the shaping filter and the sinusoidal approach, both based on the Power Spectral Density. Pavement roughness was evaluated using the International Roughness Index (IRI), which represents the most used index to characterize longitudinal road profiles. Appropriate parameters were defined in the simulation process to obtain pavement profiles with specific ranges of IRI values using both simulation techniques. The results suggest that using a sinusoidal approach one can generate random profiles with IRI values that are representative of different road types, therefore, one could generate a profile for a paved or an unpaved road, representing all the proposed categories defined by ISO 8608 standard. On the other hand, to obtain similar results using the shaping filter approximation a modification in the simulation parameters is necessary. The new proposed values allow one to generate pavement profiles with high levels of roughness, covering a wider range of surface types. Finally, the results of the current investigation could be used to further improve our understanding on the effect of pavement roughness on tire pavement interaction. The evaluated methodologies could be used to generate random profiles with specific levels of roughness to assess its effect on dynamic loads generated at the tire-pavement interface and user’s perception of road condition.
Development of system for automatic measurement of transient photocurrent and thermally stimulated current
Authors: Ramirez Botero Asdrubal Antonio , Gordillo Gerardo
Published: April 2017

This paper presents details of the design and implementation of a system for measuring of thermally stimulated current (TSC) and transient photocurrent (Iph), developed using the Virtual Instrumentation concept. For that we have used National Instrument hardware and the LabView® package as software. The system is controlled by a virtual instrument (VI) which includes facilities to perform measurements of photocurrent keeping the temperature of the sample and the pressure of the chamber of measurement controlled as well as  real time display of the Iph vs t and TSC vs T curves. The system was tested by performing transient photocurrent and TSC measurements on CH3NH3PbI3 thin films that are generally used as absorbent layer of solar cells. This type of characterization is very useful to get information of the  trapping and recombination processes that affect the transport properties of the devices.

Published: April 2017

Contributions to the knowledge of the Pycnogonida fauna along the Brazilian coast are scarce. There are only 60 records for the coast of Brazil, and reports of this fauna are notably discontinuous. This is the first record of Pentapycnon geayi Bouvier, 1911 (Pycnogonida: Pycnogonidae) in the state of Ceará. This study adds a new bathymetric record and fills a gap in the distribution of P. geayi along the Brazilian coast. This report also provides important new data for Ceará because the diversity of Pycnogonida in this state is practically unknown.

Pleasurable and Intersubjectively Embodied Experiences of Electronic Dance Music
Authors: Solberg Ragnhild Torvanger , Jensenius Alexander Refsum
Published: April 2017

How do dancers engage with electronic dance music (EDM) when dancing? This paper reports on an empirical study of dancers' pleasurable engagement with three structural properties of EDM: (1) breakdown, (2) build-up, and (3) drop. Sixteen participants danced to a DJ mix in a club-like environment, and the group’s bodily activity was recorded with an infrared, marker-based motion capture system. After they danced, the subjects filled out questionnaires about the pleasure they experienced and their relative desire to move while dancing. Subsequent analyses revealed associations between the group’s quantity of motion and self-reported experiences of pleasure. Associations were also found between certain sonic features and dynamic changes in the dancers' movements. Pronounced changes occurred in the group's quantity of motion during the breakdown, build-up, and drop sections, suggesting a high level of synchronization between the group and the structural properties of the music. The questionnaire confirmed this intersubjective agreement: participants perceived the musical passages consistently and marked the build-up and drop as particularly pleasurable and motivational in terms of dancing. Self-reports demonstrated that the presence and activity of other participants were also important in the shaping of one's own experience, thus supporting the idea of clubbing as an intersubjectively embodied experience.
Aesthetic Experience Explained by the Affect-Space Framework
Authors: Schubert Emery , North Adrian C. , Hargreaves David J.
Published: April 2017

A framework for organizing the semantic structure of aesthetic experience is proposed.  The new framework is presented in an 'affect-space' and consists of three sets of dichotomous classifications: (1) internal locus (the felt experience) versus external locus (the description of the object), (2) 'affect-valence' — the attraction to (positive valence, e.g. preference, awe) or repulsion from (negative valence, e.g. hatred, disgust) the artwork/object — versus 'emotion-valence' — the character/contemplation of an emotion (happiness-an example of positive valence, sadness-an example of negative valence), and (3) deep versus shallow hedonic tone—e.g. 'awe' is deep, 'preference' is shallow.   Deep hedonic tone is proposed as a better index of aesthetic experience (awe, being moved etc.) than shallow hedonic tone (preference, pleasure, enjoyment).  Deep, internal locus, affect-valence during the contemplation of an object amenable to an aesthetic judgement (beautiful, ugly etc.) presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for an aesthetic experience.  The framework allows future researchers to consider which aspects of an experience come closest to actual aesthetic experience from an empirical aesthetics perspective.  It also highlights the limited value in grouping together so many aesthetic experiences under the rubric of emotion, such as aesthetic emotions, preference, basic emotions and so forth.  Our framework paves the way for testing and further development of theory on aesthetic experience.

Narcotráfico y el desafío a la seguridad en la triple frontera Andina
Authors: Troncoso Zúñiga Valeska
Published: April 2017

El narcotráfico es la principal manifestación del crimen organizado en la Triple frontera andina. La permeabilidad de esta frontera y las limitaciones a su control efectivo han posibilitado la instalación de vías fluviales y terrestres convirtiéndose en las principales rutas para el transporte de drogas desde Bolivia y Perú hacia Chile, lo que supone una revalorización estratégica de esta zona fronteriza históricamente considerada bajo el paradigma clásico de la seguridad, debido principalmente a la persistencia de disputas territoriales de origen decimonónico. Desde un abordaje cualitativo el presente artículo analiza el narcotráfico como amenaza a la seguridad en esta triple frontera, siguiendo este derrotero. Primero, describe las particularidades del área en estudio con el propósito de situar el problema. Segundo, aborda los contenidos de la agenda de seguridad internacional, enfatizando la idea que en la Triple frontera andina se superpone una agenda tradicional con una nueva agenda, en donde las llamadas nuevas amenazas cobran relevancia, como es el caso del narcotráfico. Y en tercer término, se analiza la situación del narcotráfico, como amenaza a la seguridad, en sus particularidades nacionales y subnacionales.
MINORIAS, DIREITOS DE CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES: NOTAS SOBRE O RECONHECIMENTO, PROTEÇÃO E PROMOÇÃO NAS PERSPECTIVAS DO DIREITO DA SEXUALIDADE E DO DIREITO DA ANTIDISCRIMINAÇÃO
Authors: Rios Roger Raupp
Published: April 2017

A compreensão dos direitos sexuais de crianças e de adolescentes deve atentar, simultaneamente, para a proteção diante da violência sexual, bem como para o reconhecimento de direitos e de medidas antidiscriminatórias que possibilitem seu desenvolvimento saudável, informado pelos direitos humanos e fundamentais da liberdade, da igualdade e do respeito à dignidade humana. Desse modo, evitam-se os riscos de que tal necessária e imprescindível proteção possa resultar, ainda que bem intencionada, em simultânea negativa de direitos e prejuízo para crianças e adolescentes.
Direitos Indígenas no Brasil: o Julgamento do Caso da Raposa Serra do Sol e a Convenção 169 da OIT
Authors: Osorio Leticia Marques
Published: April 2017

Este artigo analisa a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) no caso da demarcação da terra indígena Raposa Serra do Sol em 2009, à luz da Convenção 169 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) sobre Povos Indígenas e Tribais. A Convenção 169 estabelece que os direitos indígenas devem ser protegidos e efetivados com base no respeito a suas culturas, formas de vida, tradições e costumes próprios. Ademais, os povos indígenas têm direito a continuar existindo sem perda de sua própria identidade e com a faculdade de determinar sua própria forma e ritmo de seu desenvolvimento. Diversas salvaguardas institucionais, estabelecendo parâmetros para o exercício dos direitos indígenas frente a outros interesses e direitos, foram incluídas no julgamento final. Sua análise, à luz da Convenção 169 da OIT revela a imposição de extensas restrições ao exercício dos direitos dos povos indígenas na área demarcada, que contradizem normas internacionais ratificadas pelo Estado Brasileiro. Revela, também, que o STF, ao não utilizar a Convenção como instrumento interpretativo, definiu marcos regulatórios de exercício de direitos indígenas com base no direito nacional mas em desconformidade com as obrigações internacionais assumidas pelo Estado.O artigo indica caminhos que podem ser adotados pelo STF para que contribua com a criação jurisprudencial e implementação do direito fundamental à consulta prévia e informado a favor dos povos indígenas, com vistas à efetiva aplicação dos dispositivos da Convenção 169 da OIT.
Subalternidade e Políticas da Diferença no Brasil: o caso das comunidades remanescentes de quilombo.
Authors: De Figueiredo André Videira
Published: April 2017

O debate político-jurídico em torno das chamadas "minorias" pode ser pensado a partir de duas chaves: a da desigualdade, a apontar para a necessidade de políticas que promovam a igualdade material, e a da diversidade, que aponta para a necessidade de reconhecimento das formas particulares de ser no mundo. Neste trabalho, pretendo discutir o problema da "diferença" a partir destas duas dimensões, colocado nos seguintes termos: como pensar em uma concepção universal da política e dos direitos que dê conta das demandas particulares e plurais dos grupos? Para tal debate pretendo lançar mão da análise das políticas públicas voltadas para comunidades remanescentes de quilombo no Brasil, tendo em vista discutir não apenas os encontros e desencontros entre o global e o local, mas também os desafios da garantia dos direitos de minorias em contextos periféricos. Pensar a questão étnica no Brasil nestes termos permite conjecturar sobre os sujeitos que as políticas de reconhecimento fazem emergir, as suas condições de afirmação na política e no direito modernos e as dificuldades em torno da conjugação entre as pautas específicas dos movimentos e as demandas em torno de um projeto de transformação da sociedade.

Mniejszości narodowe i etniczne w polskiej przestrzeni publicznej
Authors: Barwiński Marek
Published: April 2017

Głównym celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób zmiany systemu politycznego i prawnego zachodzące w Polsce w ciągu ostatnich dekad wpłynęły na obecność mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych w przestrzeni publicznej kraju, oraz na ile poszczególne mniejszości mogły lub potrafiły wykorzystać sprzyjające im przekształcenia formalnoprawne. Bardzo duża dysproporcja w różnorakich przejawach tej publicznej obecności (dwujęzyczne nazwy miejscowości, urzędów, szkół, stosowanie języka pomocniczego, działalność społeczna i polityczna, oświata, dziedzictwo historyczne) pomiędzy poszczególnymi narodowościami jest spowodowana zróżnicowanymi przyczynami. Z pewnością do sprzyjających czynników należy relatywnie duża liczebność i koncentracja terytorialna, ale decydująca jest też aktywność działaczy i lokalnych społeczności oraz wewnętrzna integracja danej zbiorowości. Dzięki tym uwarunkowaniom niektóre tzw. historyczne mniejszości, wykorzystując zmiany prawne, stały się trwałą częścią przestrzeni publicznej w Polsce.

Region peryferyjny wobec procesów globalizacji – eksploatacja surowców i zjawisko rugowania rdzennych mieszkańców Chocó z ich ziemi (w Kolumbii)
Authors: Czerny Mirosława
Published: April 2017

Artykuł porusza kwestie przymusowych przesiedleń ludności z regionów o dużym potencjale rozwojowym. Poszukiwanie cennych surowców mineralnych oraz wolnych ziem pod przyszłe uprawy komercyjne (m.in. soi) sprawiają, że regiony peryferyjne w krajach rozwijających się, zamieszkane głównie przez ludność rolniczą, w tym plemiona tubylcze (np. Indian), stają się obiektem działań grup przestępczych wspieranych przez wielkich inwestorów globalnych, którzy zamierzają rozwijać tu swoją działalność. Na przeszkodzie stoją mieszkańcy tych ziem, którzy nie mają odpowiednich narzędzi i siły politycznej na to, żeby się bronić przed agresją i wypędzaniem ich pod przymusem z wiosek, które zamieszkują. Omawiane zjawisko analizowane jest tu na przykładzie departamentu Chocó w Kolumbii, który bogaty jest w cenne surowce (m.in. złoto i platynę) i posiada rozległe tereny słabo zaludnione, odpowiednie do wprowadzenia upraw eksportowych (m.in. palmy oleistej, soi).
MILPA ALTA: “UNA DELEGACIÓN EN LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO CON POTENCIAL TURÍSTICO, PERO ¿QUÉ ES LO QUE ESTÁ FALLANDO?”
Authors: Ortega Méndez Víctor Eduardo
Published: April 2017

Desde hace varios años Milpa Alta, en la ciudad de México, se ha concentrado en la conservación y desarrollo de las zonas ecológicas con las que cuenta la delegación; sin embargo, en el ámbito turístico, según los datos encontrados en la Página Oficial de la Delegación de Milpa Alta, no se ha tenido un Plan de Desarrollo Turístico. Por ello, se considera indispensable comenzar con la realización de un diagnóstico que permita contar con información fidedigna del potencial y vocación turística de la delegación que sirva de base para impulsar la actividad y regular su desarrollo.
Cabe resaltar que en la actualidad Milpa Alta percibe actividad baja en turismo; ya que la mayor parte de su afluencia turística se concentra en el pueblo de San Pedro Atocpan. Sin embargo, no se ha generado un turismo adecuado pues no se cuenta con la infraestructura ni con el equipamiento turístico necesario para recibir a los turistas. Por ello el turismo que se ha generado es de entrada por salida sin que se haya cumplido las expectativas de crecimiento económico.

Published: April 2017

Introdução: a infância é um período de grande importância na formação do ser humano, logo, um episódio de doença pode interromper esse processo, além de interferir na estrutura familiar e gerar ônus ao sistema de saúde. A epidemiologia e a morbidade atuam como importantes instrumentos, pois promovem o conhecimento em saúde e auxiliam na distribuição dos recursos, alcançando os vários níveis administrativos. Porém, estudos que envolvem o perfil de internações pediátricas ainda são escassos. O estudo tem como objetivo delinear perfil epidemiológico e clínico dos pacientes internados na enfermaria de pediatria. Metodologia: estudo realizado na enfermaria de pediatria do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC) com amostra de 119 registros, referentes aos meses de agosto a dezembro de 2015. Resultados: a idade média é de 8,6 anos, sendo que no sexo feminino houve predomínio na faixa da adolescência. Os 3 sistemas mais acometidos foram: sistema digestivo, sistema endócrino e sistema respiratório. A permanência hospitalar média foi de 10,09 dias. Condições crônicas foram encontradas em 48,1% dos registros, sendo o Diabetes Mellitus a mais comum. 25,2% dos casos possuíam internamentos prévios, em sua grande maioria portadores de patologias crônicas. A grande maioria das altas ocorreram para domicílio. Discussão e Conclusão: o estudo demonstra particularidades da enfermaria de pediatria do HUWC, sendo possível guiar o ensino de residentes e estudantes, além de auxiliar na formação de políticas, melhoria do atendimento e preparo da equipe ligada aos cuidados com o paciente.

Objetivo: avaliar o uso da terapia de Alto Fluxo Nasal (AFN) em uma paciente com Fibrose Pulmonar Idiopática (FPI) sob cuidados paliativos. Relato de caso: mulher de 70 anos, admitida em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) por insuficiência respiratória hipoxêmica grave por FPI em estágio avançado, sem indicação de intubação traqueal. Inicialmente tratada com Ventilação Não Invasiva (VNI) intercalando com máscara reservatório de oxigênio (O2), porém com baixa tolerância. Mesmo com a máscara reservatório de O2 apresentou frequência respiratória (f) de 40rpm, saturação periférica de O2 (SpO2) de 58%, frequência cardíaca (FC) de 135 bpm, pressão arterial (PA) 175x85 mmHg. A gasometria arterial revelou PaO2 de 36mmHg e SaO2 de 72%. Optou-se por usar o AFN pelo sistema Optiflow™ Fisher & Paykel® com fluxo de 30 l/min de O2 e temperatura de 37°C. Após 30 minutos houve resposta clínica imediata, apresentou: f = 30rpm, FC = 127 bpm, PA = 156x69 mmHg, SpO2 = 80%, PaO2 = 46mmHg e SaO2 = 83%. Após 24 horas apresentou PaO2 = 56mmHg e SaO2 = 90%, sem alteração de pH. Conclusão: o AFN foi importante para o melhora da oxigenação e conforto da paciente do caso relatado, garantindo além da melhora clínica, uma morte tranquila com a redução dos sintomas respiratórios.

Published: April 2017

The Step-By-Step series originated in the fact that students simply don’t need another textbook on Algebra, Calculus, etc. There are already wonderful textbooks on the market in almost every area of mathematics and science. What struggling students do need are more detailed, worked examples than are normally found in even the best textbooks. To solve this problem, every book in the Step-By-Step series contains hundreds of problems with both answers and detailed, worked solutions.

In this volume, Step-By-Step: Algebra, each of the major concepts in a standard Algebra course is given its own section and problems. After a list of the problems for a concept, the answers are given so that students can compare their answers to the correct ones. Following the answers are detailed, worked solutions to each problem. The answers are given first because many students do not want to see a worked solution immediately upon finding that their answer is not the correct one.

At the end of the book are two Final Exams that test whether or not the student has grasped all of the concepts in the book.

Our sincere hope is that this book will aid you in your goal of attaining both a higher course grade and a deeper understanding of Algebra.

Memberikan layanan yang terbaik bagi para nasabah merupakan prioritas utama setiap bank, termasuk di antaranya adalah Bank Kaltim di Kalimantan Timur, khususnya yang berada di Kota Samarinda. Salah satu layanannya adalah dengan menempatkan mesin ATM di setiap sisi kota yang nantinya dapat memudahkan nasabah dalam melakukan transaksi keuangan. Mesin ATM Bank Kaltim tersebar di banyak tempat, akan tetapi informasi mengenai lokasi ATM di Kota Samarinda masih terbatas dan terkadang membuat nasabah mengalami kesulitan dalam menemukan mesin ATM Bank Kaltim. Penentuan lokasi dengan Sistem Informasi Geografi (SIG) dapat menggambarkan informasi jarak dan tujuan sesuai dengan keinginan pengguna. SIG akan sangat tepat digunakan sebagai sarana untuk mengolah informasi lokasi ATM Bank Kaltim di Kota Samarinda. Salah satu metodenya yaitu Haversine Formula, yang merupakan metode yang diterapkan di dalam aplikasi SIG dalam menentukan lokasi ATM yang terdekat dengan user. Haversine Formula adalah persamaan yang digunakan dalam navigasi, yang memberikan jarak lingkaran besar antara dua titik pada permukaan bola (Bumi) berdasarkan garis bujur dan lintang. SIG yang dibuat dapat memberikan informasi mengenai lokasi ATM terdekat dan petunjuk arahnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini, Haversine Formula untuk proses perhitungan menentukan lokasi ATM terdekat dapat diterapkan dan memberikan informasi ATM untuk pengguna atau nasabah Bank Kaltim

Inisialisasi Key Generating Kriptografi AES Pada Pendekatan Protokol SMSSEC
Authors: Sanjaya Muhammad Barja
Published: April 2017

Perkembangan teknologi di dunia internet tidak terlepas dari saling keterkaitannya dengan kriptografi yang menyediakan layanan dalam pengamanan data. Salah satu pengamanan data yang diperlukan yakni penyandian data dengan proses komputasi kriptografi yang digunakan saat berlangsungnya proses melibatkan data penting seperti yang ada pada perbankan, yakni pertukaran data rahasia yang dilakukan oleh seseorang untuk memudahkan atau memfasilitasi kegiatannya. Kebutuhan untuk kemudahan dalam akses ke data pribadinya di dunia perbankan seperti transaksi cek saldo atau transfer antar rekening sangatlah krusial dan perlu dijaga kerahasiaannya. Metode kriptografi klasik sudah tidak lagi mumpuni jika diterapkan untuk dijadikan salah satu solusi dalam pengamanan data transaksi tersebut. Oleh karena itu dalam penelitian ini, diusulkan suatu rancangan baru mengenai metode pengamanan data yang dapat digunakan pada aplikasi perbankan dengan biaya komputasi yang minimum. Adapun rancangan baru tersebut melibatkan pendekatan protokol SMSSecure yang di dalamnya menyertakan sekaligus tiga tipe algoritma kriptografi. Pada penelitian ini juga dilakukan pembaharuan proses kriptografi simetrik Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) yakni pada inisialisasi pembuatan kunci enkripsi/dekripsi. Dari hasil simulasi pengujian diperoleh hasil bahwa performansi waktu proses komputasi dari usulan rancangan mencapai empat sampai lima belas kali jauh lebih cepat dibanding rancangan awal. Juga ada penghematan dari hasil analisis parameter konsumsi memory yang dibutuhkan selama satu kali transaksi yakni sekira tiga kilo bytes. Namun, parameter avalanche effect yang dihasilkan jauh dari kriteria baik dan berada di nilai AE sebesar 78,74%.

Berdasarkan data laporan Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) tahun 2015  bahwa angka kejadian tindak pencurian di Indonesia sampai tahun 2014 masih tergolong tinggi. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan hal ini adalah kurangnya penerapan sistem keamanan pintu elektronis di rumah-rumah penduduk. Penggunaan kartu elektronis berbasis Near Field Communication (NFC) menjadi pilihan yang sesuai karena teknologi NFC memberikan jaminan keamanan yang lebih baik untuk teknologi yang sejenis dengan konsumsi daya yang rendah. Proses otentifikasi sistem keamanan pintu elektronis dilakukan dengan membaca kode unik dari kartu NFC Tag yang akan dicocokkan dengan kode unik kartu NFC di basis data sistem. Jika hasil otentifikasi telah benar, Arduino sebagai pusat pengendali akan mengaktifkan solenoid lock door sehingga pintu akan terbuka. Hasil pengujian sistem menunjukkan bahwa jarak pembacaan sesungguhnya dari kartu NFC Tag sebesar 7 cm dengan jangkauan sudut pembacaan antara 0o - 85o. Tingkat keberhasilan sistem dalam melakukan proses otentifikasi sebesar 100%.
Desain dan Implementasi Platform Manajemen Historis Harga Saham dengan Kurasi Data dan Analisis Teknikal
Authors: Hidayatulloh Indra
Published: April 2017

Saat ini penelitian terkait saham didominasi oleh topik prediksi harga saham. Untuk melakukan prediksi harga saham dibutuhkan data historis harga saham. Banyak provider yang menyediakan data tersebut namun tidak semuanya gratis. Beberapa provider yang menyediakan data historis harga saham secara gratis adalah Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Stooq, dan National Stock Exchange (NSE) India. Namun, seringkali terdapat perbedaan data antar provider baik dari sisi ketersediaan, konten, format data, dan sebagainya. Sehingga, investor perlu mengambil data dari beberapa provider untuk diperbandingkan guna mendapatkan hasil analisis yang optimal. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini membangun platform manajemen data historis harga saham yang melakukan kurasi data dari keempat sumber data tersebut sekaligus dilengkapi dengan analisis teknikal untuk memudahkan analisis investasi. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa kurasi data historis harga saham untuk keempat sumber data tersebut sudah dapat dilakukan dengan teknologi RDBMS sebagai databasenya. Namun,  terdapat kelemahan yaitu kurang fleksibel apabila diperlukan penambahan sumber data dengan data yang tidak terstruktur atau memiliki kolom berbeda-beda. Meskipun demikian, dengan data dari keempat sumber data yang telah terintegrasi, analisis teknikal dapat memberikan gambaran yang lebih luas terhadap tren pergerakan harga dengan memperbandingkan hasil analisis untuk setiap sumber data.

Lokal Fuzzy Thresholding Berdasarkan Pengukuran Fuzzy Similarity Pada Interaktif Segmentasi Citra Panoramik Gigi
Authors: Gunawan Wawan , Arifin Agus Zainal
Published: April 2017

Dalam segmentasi citra, thresholding merupakan salah metode yang mudah dan sederhana untuk diimplementasikan. Pada citra panoramik gigi, penentuan global threshold masih kurang begitu optimal untuk diimplementasikan. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya factor penghambat seperti pencahayaan yang tidak merata dan citra yang kabur. Faktor-faktor tersebut  dapat menyebabkan histogram tidak bisa dipartisi dengan baik, sehingga akan berpengaruh pada hasil segmentasi. Pada penelitian ini diusulkan lokal fuzzy thresholding berdasarkan pengukuran fuzzy similarity pada interaktif segmentasi citra panoramik gigi. Metode yang diusulkan terdiri dari tiga tahapan utama, tahap pertama region splitting untuk mendapatkan lokal region. Tahap kedua adalah user marking untuk mendapat inisial seed background dan objek, Tahap terakhir adalah pengukuran fuzzy similarity pada setiap lokal region untuk mendapatkan nilai lokal threshold. Hasil uji coba pada citra panoramik gigi, metode yang diusulkan berhasil melakukan segmentasi dengan rata-rata missclasification error (ME) 5.47%.
