Recent advances in NTC thick film thermistor properties and applications
Authors: Aleksic Obrad , Nikolic Pantelija
Published: July 2017

An introduction to thermal sensors and thermistor materials is given in
brief. After that novel electrical components such as thick film thermistors
and thermal sensors based on them are described: Custom designed NTC
thermistor pastes based on nickel manganite NiM2O4 micro/nanostructured
powder were composed and new planar cell-based (segmented) constructions
were printed on alumina. The thick film segmented thermistors were used in
novel thermal sensors such as anemometers, water flow meters, gradient
temperature sensor of the ground, and other applications. The advances
achieved are the consequence of previous improvements of thermistor material
based on nickel manganite and modified nickel manganite such as
Cu0.2Ni0.5Zn1.0Mn1.3O4 and optimization of thick film thermistor geometries
for sensor applications. The thermistor powders where produced by a solid
state reaction of MnCO3, NiO, CuO, ZnO powders mixed in proper weight ratio.
After calcination the obtained thermistor materials were milled in planetary
ball mils, agate mills and finally sieved by 400 mesh sieve. The powders
were characterized by XRD and SEM. The new thick film pastes where composed
of the powders achieved, an organic vehicle and glass frit. The pastes were
printed on alumina, dried and sintered and characterized again by XRD, SEM
and electrical measurements. Different thick film thermistor constructions
such as rectangular, sandwich, interdigitated and segmented were printed of
new thermistor pastes. Their properties such as electrical resistance of the
thermistor samples where mutually compared. The electrode effect was
measured for all mentioned constructions and surface resistance was
determined. It was used for modeling and realizations of high, medium and
low ohmic thermistors with different power dissipation and heat loss.
Finally all the results obtained lead to thermal sensors based on heat loss
for measuring the air flow, water flow, temperature gradient and heat
transfer from the air to the ground.

Design and implementation of non-uniform quantizers for discrete input samples and its application to an image processing algorithm
Authors: Simic Nikola , Peric Zoran , Savic Milan
Published: July 2017

This paper describes an algorithm for grayscale image compression based on
non-uniform quantizers designed for discrete input samples. Non-uniform
quantization is performed in two steps for unit variance, whereas design is
done by introducing a discrete variance. The best theoretical and
experimental results are obtained for those discrete values of variance which
provide the operating range of quantizer located in the vicinity of maximal
signal value that can appear on the entrance. The experiment is performed by
applying proposed quantizers for compression of standard test grayscale
images as a classic example of discrete input source. The proposed fixed
non-uniform quantizers, designed for discrete input samples, provide up to
4.93 [dB] higher PSQNR compared to the fixed piecewise uniform quantizers
designed for discrete input samples.

Variability of morphological characteristics of leaves and fruits of common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis L.) test trees from Sombor area
Authors: Vukicevic Vladimir , Nonic Marina , Nikolic-Sijacic Mirjana
Published: July 2017

Two species of the genus Celtis L. are represented in the city of Sombor, of
which the most numerous is Celtis occidentalis L., prevalent in parks and
alleys, which became a symbol of the city, with its priceless social,
economic and environmental value. Their present situation could be described
as alarming. The paper presents the results of the analysis of morphological
characteristics of leaves and fruits of common hackberry, investigated at the
level of 15 test trees, in order to assess the genetic variability of the
available gene pool in the tree alleys at Sombor area. Following parameters
were analyzed: total leaf length, lamina width, petiole length, and lamina
width at the left and right side from midrib, as well as drupe diameter and
weight of 1000 fruits. The descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of
variance, LSD test and cluster analysis were done. The largest leaves were
recorded at trees 1, 5 and 11, and smallest at the trees 7, 9 and 13, wherein
genotype 1 was distanced from the other test trees, on multiple
characteristics. The highest average of drupes diameter were recorded at
trees number 4, 12, and 3. The obtained results indicate a satisfactory
degree of variability of the analyzed characteristics at the level of test
trees, which provides a good basis for exploring and proper use of the
genetic potential of this species, as well as for conservation of the
available gene pool.
Party system and structure of party competition in the Republic of Srpska
Authors: Vukojevic Stefan
Published: July 2017

In this paper the author analyzes the party system and structure of party
competition in the Republic of Srpska, from the first postwar general
elections for the National Assembly held in 1996, until the latest elections
held in 2014. Based on Giovanni Sartori?s typology of party systems, the
author classifies the party system in the Republic of Srpska and analyzes
the structure of party competition by using Peter Mair?s theoretical
framework. Determination of party system in the Republic of Srpska based on
its numerical/ideological typology does not tell us much about the very
essence of the party system. By means of Peter Meir?s three criteria, the
author analyzes the structure of party competition which fosters a wider
perspective of understanding the party system and defines its essence more
precisely. Regardless of the various changes to which political parties are
exposed, the very essence of the party system is manifested through tendency
to gravitate towards stable patterns of party competition.
About an academic and historiographic failure: With regard to the article "Prince Pavle Karadjordjevic and new Yugoslav authorities in 1945" written by Dragan Aleksic and Ivana Krstic-Mistridzelovic
Authors: Milosevic Srdjan
Published: July 2017

In this paper the author presented examples of academic dishonesty and
substantial historiographic mistakes and fallacies - interpretative,
methodological and factual - made by the authors of the article mentioned in
the title of this contribution. Answering to their deliberate critics of the
author?s book Istorija pred sudom, he points out that the authors of the
mentioned article, firstly, did not offer neither proper nor sufficient
argumentation for their general remarks about his work, labeling the book as
one of ?questionable scientific value?. Supporting this and similar other
labels they quote several paragraphs from the author?s book, contemplating
about them instead of giving argumentative comments, sometimes even
erroneously attributing to him the claims that he did not make in his book.
Secondly, the author of this paper indicates that the mentioned authors took
over some facts and conclusions from his book, without making any references
to it. Thirdly, and most importantly, he developed a comprehensive
argumentation for his claim that the document these authors founded their
alleged research upon has never passed through the process of enactment and
empowerment. Namely, the so called ?Decision of declaring Prince Regent Pavle
Karadjordjevic a war criminal and an enemy of the people? has never been
adopted by the Presidency of AVNOJ, as argued by Aleksic and Krstic
Mistridzelovic. The document under the given title, which they used as if it
was a historical source issued by the Presidency of AVNOJ, is merely a draft
of a decision that has never been passed.

Fenomenologi Sebagai Filsafat dan Usaha Kembali Ke Permulaan
Authors: Tjaya Thomas Hidya
Published: July 2017

Abstrak: Dalam pengantar pada karyanya Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty praktis mengidentikkan filsafat dengan fenomenologi sebagai usaha untuk mempelajari kembali bagaimana cara melihat dunia. Dalam upaya tersebut ia mengajak pembaca, mengikuti slogan khas fenomenologi Husserl, untuk kembali ke permulaan atau bendabenda itu sendiri. Yang menarik adalah bahwa permulaan yang dianalisis oleh Merleau-Ponty justru tubuh manusia, sebuah dimensi yang cenderung dipandang rendah dalam sejarah filsafat Barat. Ia tidak sendirian dalam hal ini, mengingat dalam fenomenologinya Levinas juga menekankan sensibilitas sebagai locus etika. Menurut penulis, gerakan fenomenologi menuju hal yang sensibel (the sensible) ini tidaklah mengubah hakikat filsafat sebagai usaha untuk mencari asal mula realitas. Realitas yang tersingkap dalam orientasi demikian justru menjadi lebih integral dan komprehensif daripada apa yang selama ini dikenal dalam sejarah filsafat dan sains. Meskipun demikian, orientasi pada pengalaman konkret manusia untuk menggali dasar realitas secara potensial menimbulkan masalah bagi fenomenologi itu sendiri yang selalu ingin kembali ke permulaan.

Kata-kata Kunci: Fenomenologi, asal mula, permulaan, ada-dalam-dunia, sains.

Abstract: In the Preface to his work Phenomenology of Perception Merleau-Ponty virtually identifies philosophy with phenomenology as a way of relearning to see the world. For this purpose he invites the reader, following the catchphrase in Husserl’s phenomenology, to return to the beginning or the things themselves. What is interesting is that the beginning that Merleau-Ponty analyzes is the human body, which belongs to a dimension that tends to be despised in the history of Western philosophy. He is not alone in this type of investigation, as Levinas also emphasizes sensibility as the locus of ethics. The author argues that the phenomenological movement towards the sensible does not alter the nature of philosophy as an attempt to seek for the nature of reality. The reality as disclosed in this analysis can be more integral and comprehensive than what is usually presented in the history of philosophy and science. The orientation towards the concrete dimension of human life in search for the foundation of reality, however, may cause a problem for phenomenology itself insofar as it always tries to return to the beginning.

Keywords: Phenomenology, origin, beginning, being-in-the-world, science.
Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha Nussbaum on Virtue Ethics
Authors: Adiprasetya Joas
Published: July 2017

Abstract: Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha C. Nussbaum are two prominent contemporary moral philosophers who attempt to rehabilitate Aristotle’s conception of virtues. Although both agree that virtue ethics can be considered as a strong alternative to our search for commonalities in a pluralistic society such as Indonesia, each chooses a very different path. While MacIntyre interprets Aristotle from his traditionalist and communitarian perspective, Nussbaum construes the philosopher in a non-relative and essentialist point of view using the perspective of capability. Consequently, MacIntyre construes a more particularistic view of virtue ethics, whereas Nussbaum presents a more universalistic view of virtue ethics. Applying virtue ethics to the Indonesian context, this article argues that each approach will be insufficient to address the highly pluralistic societies such as Indonesia. Therefore, we need to construct a virtue ethics proper to the Indonesian context that takes both approaches into consideration. Keywords: Virtue, virtue ethics, community, capability, incommensurability. Abstrak: Alasdair MacIntyre dan Martha C. Nussbaum merupakan dua orang filsuf moral terkemuka pada masa kini, yang berusaha merehabilitasi konsep Aristoteles mengenai keutamaan. Sekalipun keduanya sepakat bahwa etika keutamaan dapat dipertimbangkan sebuah sebuah alternatif yang memadai bagi usaha kita dalam mencari kesamaan di tengah sebuah masyarakat majemuk seperti Indonesia, masing-masing memilih jalan yang sangat berbeda. Sementara MacIntyre menafsirkan Aristoteles dari perspektif tradisionalis dan komunitarian, Nussbaum memahami sang filsuf dari sebuah sudut pandang esensialis dan nonrelatif dengan memakai pendekatan kapabilitas. Akibatnya, MacIntyre mengkonstruksi sebuah pandangan yang lebih partikular atas etika keutamaan, sementara Nussbaum lebih menghadirkan sebuah pandangan yang lebih universal atas etika keutamaan. Mengaplikasikan etika keutamaan pada konteks Indonesia, artikel ini berpendapat bahwa masing-masing pendekatan tidak akan memadai untuk menjadi masyarakat yang sangat pluralistis seperti Indonesia. Untuk itu, kita perlu mengkonstruksi sebuah etika keutamaan yang kontekstual di Indonesia yang mempertimbangkan dan memanfaatkan kedua pendekatan tersebut. Kata-Kata Kunci: Keutamaan, etika keutamaan, komunitas, kapabilitas, inkomensurabilitas.
Berteologi bagi Agama di Zaman Post-Sekular
Authors: Sunarko Adrianus
Published: July 2017

Abstrak: Prediksi tentang hilangnya agama seiring dengan proses modernisasi ternyata tidak benar. Agama-agama tetap hadir dan memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Kenyataan ini memberikan tantangan tersendiri bagi teologi, setidak-tidaknya karena tiga hal. Pertama, kehadiran agama seringkali disertai dengan kecenderungan kuat untuk melihat relevansi agama hanya pada lingkup kehidupan privat seseorang dan mengabaikan implikasi sosial politis hidup beriman. Kedua, kehadiran agama terkait pula dengan sejumlah tindak kekerasan yang mengancam ketenteraman hidup bersama. Ketiga, agama-agama —khususnya di Indonesia— dituntut menyesuaikan diri berhadapan dengan kenyataan plural dan corak demokratis masyarakat. Teologi ditantang untuk menyumbangkan refleksi yang berguna bagi terbentuknya agama yang tidak lupa akan implikasi sosial-politiknya, yang bebas dari kekerasan dan mampu menempatkan diri dengan tepat di tengah masyarakat demokratis dan plural.

Kata-Kata Kunci: Post-sekular, privatisasi agama, kekerasan, multikultural, posisi epistemis, demokrasi, teologi politik.

Abstract: The prediction that religion would vanish during and because of the modernization is not really true. Religions are still present and play a significant role in social life. This fact gives a special and interesting challenge to theology, at least for three reasons. First, the presence of religion is often accompanied by the strong tendency among its adherents to find the relevance of religion only to the one’s private life, denying the social and political implication of religion. Second, the presence of religion is connected with the acts of violence, which threaten the peace of the social life. Third, the religions —especially in Indonesia— have to adapt themselves to the pluralistic reality and the democratic system of the society. Theology is challenged to offer meaningful reflection on the formation of religion, which does not forfeit its social and political implications, free from violence and mindful of how to place itself properly in the democratic and pluralistic society.

Keywords: Post-secular, privatization of religion, violence, multi-cultural, epistemic position, democracy, political theology.
Hannah Arendt dan Etika Keduniawian
Authors: Koten Yosef Keladu
Published: July 2017

Abstrak: Etika keduniawian Hannah Arendt muncul dari cara khasnya memikirkan dunia dan tindakan-tindakan manusia di dalamnya. Bagi Arendt, lewat berpikir, manusia mengungkapkan opini dan perhatiannya pada dunianya, apa yang terjadi di dunia. Lewat berpikir, manusia menunjukkan sebentuk tanggung jawabnya terhadap dunia dimana ia terlempar. Dengan menilai sebuah tindakan politik, manusia disetir oleh nilai-nilai moral yang berasal dari dunia itu sendiri. Penilaian yang ia berikan, pada gilirannya ada di bawah putusan orang-orang lain yang mengkonfrontasinya. Artinya, saat kita berpikir dan menilai, kita mesti sadar akan makna tindakan politis bagi dunia pada umumnya, dan kita juga mesti menyadari apa yang akan dikatakan orang lain tentangnya.

Abstract: This paper aims at reconstructing Arendt’s ethics of worldliness from her specific way of thinking about the world and how to judge an action takes place in it. For Arendt, in thinking, we express our concern and opinion about the world and what is going on in it. It is one way of showing our responsibility for the world into which we are thrown. In judging a political action we are directed by ethical constraints to come from the world itself and the verdict of spectators. That means, when we judge we should be aware of the things that an action could bring to the public realm and what others might say about it.

Keywords: Ethics, worldliness, thinking, judging, responsibility.
Teologi Ekologi dan Mistik-Kosmik St. Fransiskus Asisi
Authors: Aman Peter C.
Published: July 2017

Abstrak: Untuk mengembangkan suatu teologi ekologi, yang dikenal sebagai ekoteologi, mesti didasarkan pada fakta mengenai keterhubungan semua ciptaan sebagai suatu ekosistem. Metodologinya adalah induktif dan interdisipliner. Kosmologi dan antropologi amat membantu memberikan data ilmiah. Data-data tersebut merupakan titik awal untuk melakukan teologi ekologi, selain sumber-sumber yang diperoleh dari Wahyu, seperti Kitab Suci, Tradisi dan Magisterium. Artikel ini merupakan suatu upaya mengembangkan teologi ekologi berdasarkan tradisi teologi Kristiani yang menggaris bawahi sejumlah titik pandang teologis, seperti penciptaan sebagai suatu proses melalui itu Allah menciptakan dunia; peran khas manusia sebagai partner Allah Pencipta, selaku gambar dan rupa Allah, merawat dan memelihara ciptaan atas nama Allah; antroposentrisme tidak memiliki akar dalam teologi ekologi Kristiani. Mistisisme kosmik St. Fransiskus sebagaimana diajukan Paus Fransiskus dalam ensiklik Laudato Si’ akan menjadi bagian kedua dari artikel ini, agar dapat memahami spiritualitas ekologis yang meresap dalam seluruh ensiklik. Bagi orang-orang Kristen memelihara ciptaan merupakan suatu kewajiban yang berakar dalam iman Kristiani.

Kata-kata Kunci: Teologi ekologi, ekosistem, penciptaan sebagai proses, Teosentrisme, antroposentrisme, gambar dan rupa Allah, mistisisme, penyair ontologis.

Abstract: A theology on ecology, known as eco-theology, should be based on the reality of the interconnection of all creations as an ecosystem. The methodology should be both inductive and inter-disciplinary. Cosmology, biology and anthropology are helpful in contributing scientific data. The given data could be the starting points in doing a theology of ecology, besides the resources from Revelation, such as Scriptures, Tradition and Magisterium. This article is an effort to elaborate a theology of ecology based on Christian Tradition of Theology which underlines several theological points of view such as: creation as a process through which God creates the world; a special role as co-partner of the Creator for human being as “imago Dei” has to conserve and to take care of creation as God’s representative; anthropocentrism has no root on Christian theology of ecology. The Cosmic mysticism of St. Francis, promoted by Pope Francis in his encyclical letter Laudato Si’, occupies the second part of this article in order to understand ecological spirituality which emerges throughout the encyclical letter. For Christians, taking care of creation is also an imperative rooted in their Christian faith.

Keywords: Theology of ecology, ecosystem, creation as a process, Theocentrism, anthropocentrism, imago Dei, cosmic mysticism, ontological poet.
Comparing of ARIMA and RBFNN for short-term forecasting
Authors: Haviluddin Haviluddin , Jawahir Ahmad
Published: July 2017

Based on a combination of an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), a time-series forecasting model is proposed. The proposed model has examined using simulated time series data of tourist arrival to Indonesia recently published by BPS Indonesia. The results demonstrate that the proposed RBFNN is more competent in modelling and forecasting time series than an ARIMA model which is indicated by mean square error (MSE) values. Based on the results obtained, RBFNN model is recommended as an alternative to existing method because it has a simple structure and can produce reasonable forecasts.

Authors: Mulyodiputro Muhammad Dermawan , Subanar Subanar
Published: July 2017

The simulation was implemented by modeling the queue with cyclic service in the signalized intersection system. The service policies used in this study were exhaustive and gated, the model was the M/M/1 queue, the arrival rate used was Poisson distribution and the services rate used was Exponential distribution. In the gated service policy, the server served only vehicles that came before the green signal appears at an intersection. Considered that there were 2 types of exhaustive policy in the signalized intersection system, namely normal exhaustive (vehicles only served during the green signal was still active), and exhaustive (there was the green signal duration addition at the intersection, when the green signal duration at an intersection finished). The results of this queueing simulation program were to obtain characteristics and performance of the system, i.e. average number of vehicles and waiting time of vehicles in the intersection and in the system, as well as system utilities. Then from these values, it would be known which of the cyclic service policies (normal exhaustive, exhaustive and gated) was the most suitable when applied to a signalized intersection system

Published: July 2017

This paper presents a different scheme of meeting scheduling negotiation among a large number of personnel in a heterogeneous community. This scheme, named Host-to-Host Negotiation, attempts to produce a stable schedule under uncertain personnel preferences. By collecting information from hosts’ inter organizational meeting, this study intends to guarantee personnel availability. As a consequence, personnel’s and meeting’s profile in this scheme are stored in a centralized manner. This study considers personnel preferences by adapting the Clarke Tax Mechanism, which is categorized as a non manipulated mechanism design. Finally, this paper introduces negotiation strategies based on the conflict handling mode. A host-to-host scheme can give notification if any conflict exist and lead to negotiation process with acceptable disclosed information. Nevertheless, a complete negotiation process will be more elaborated in the future works.

Authors: Thobirin Aris , Yanto Iwan Tri Riyadi
Published: July 2017

Particle swam optimization (PSO) is one of the most effective optimization methods to find the global optimum point. In other hand, the descent direction (DD) is the gradient based method that has the local search capability. The combination of both methods is promising and interesting to get the method with effective global search capability and efficient local search capability. However, In many application, it is difficult or impossible to obtain the gradient exactly of an objective function. In this paper, we propose Automatic differentiation (AD) based for PSODD. we compare our methods on benchmark function. The results shown that the combination methods give us a powerful tool to find the solution.

Authors: Lenin Kanagasabai , Reddy Bhumanapally Ravindhranath , Kalavathi Munagala Surya
Published: July 2017

In this paper a Progressive particle swarm optimization algorithm (PPS) is used to solve optimal reactive power problem. A Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm maintains a swarm of particles, where each particle has position vector and velocity vector which represents the potential solutions of the particles. These vectors are modernized from the information of global best (Gbest) and personal best (Pbest) of the swarm. All particles move in the search space to obtain optimal solution. In this paper a new concept is introduced of calculating the velocity of the particles with the help of Euclidian Distance conception. This new-fangled perception helps in finding whether the particle is closer to Pbest or Gbest and updates the velocity equation consequently. By this we plan to perk up the performance in terms of the optimal solution within a rational number of generations. The projected PPS has been tested on standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss with control variables are within the limits.
A new model for threat assessment in data fusion based on fuzzy evidence theory
Authors: Azimirad Ehsan , Haddadnia Javad
Published: July 2017

In this paper a new method for threat assessment is proposed based on Fuzzy Evidence Theory. The most widely classical and intelligent methods used for threat assessment systems will be Evidence or Dempster Shafer and Fuzzy Sets Theories. The disadvantage of both methods is failing to calculate of uncertainty in the data from the sensors and the poor reliability of system. To fix this flaw in the system of dynamic targets threat assessment is proposed fuzzy evidence theory as a combination of both Dempster- Shafer and Fuzzy Sets Theories. In this model, the uncertainty in input data from the sensors and the whole system is measured using the best measure of the uncertainty. Also, a comprehensive comparison is done between the uncertainty of fuzzy model and fuzzy- evidence model (proposed method). This method applied to a real time scenario for air threat assessment. The simulation results show that this method is reasonable, effective, accuracy and reliability.

Authors: Prahara Adhi , Azhari Ahmad , Murinto Murinto
Published: July 2017

Vehicle has several types and each of them has different color, size, and shape. The appearance of vehicle also changes if viewed from different viewpoint of traffic surveillance camera. This situation can create many possibilities of vehicle poses. However, the one in common, vehicle pose usually follows road direction. Therefore, this research proposes a method to estimate the pose of vehicle for vehicle detection and tracking based on road direction. Vehicle training data are generated from 3D vehicle models in four-pair orientation categories. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Linear-Support Vector Machine (Linear-SVM) are used to build vehicle detectors from the data. Road area is extracted from traffic surveillance image to localize the detection area. The pose of vehicle which estimated based on road direction will be used to select a suitable vehicle detector for vehicle detection process. To obtain the final vehicle object, vehicle line checking method is applied to the vehicle detection result. Finally, vehicle tracking is performed to give label on each vehicle. The test conducted on various viewpoints of traffic surveillance camera shows that the method effectively detects and tracks vehicle by estimating the pose of vehicle. Performance evaluation of the proposed method shows 0.9170 of accuracy and 0.9161 of balance accuracy (BAC).
