Dari Asia Tenggara Hingga Sulawesi Barat: Perkembangan Penyalahgunaan Narkoba di Sulawesi Barat
Authors: Amin Asma
Published: July 2018

Konsep keamanan telah mengalami redefenisi yang dikenal dengan isu-isu keamanan non tradisional (non traditional security), dimana persoalan keamanan tidak hanya terkait dengan masalah militer semata. Salah satu persoalan non tradisional security yang berkembang di Asia Tenggara adalah masalah drugs trafficking. Drugs trafficking akan berdampak secara spesifik terhadap human security dan secara umum berpengaruh terhadap stabilitas regional kawasan Asia tenggara, terhadap negara dan juga merambah sampai ke daerah (pedesaan), termasuk untuk wilayah Sulawesi Barat. Untuk itu, dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan menekankan penggalian data melalui sumber-sumber tertulis dan wawancara dengan narasumber, penelitian ini akan menelusuri masuknya narkoba dari Asia Tenggara hingga ke Sulawesi Barat, perkembangan penyalahgunaan narkoba, serta upaya yang dilakukan dalam menangani masalah tersebut. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa narkoba yang beredar di Sulawesi Barat berasal dari luar wilayah Sulawesi Barat. Angka penyalahgunaan tergolong tinggi dimana salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah keterlibatan petugas dan perubahan gaya hidup modern yang didukung oleh tingkat kesejahteraan penduduk yang semakin membaik di tengah penataan kota sebagai sebuah provinsi baru.

I show how entrepreneurship researchers, particularly those working with observational data, typically face several specific endogeneity threats in a given study. I then show through a series of simulated of datasets instrument variable approaches that effectively address endogeneity in a variety of research designs. I discuss best-practice recommendations for integrating instrument variables into entrepreneurship research at the study design phase, and outline potential sources for instruments.
Intelligent Flow Friction Estimation
Authors: Brkić Dejan , Ćojbašić Žarko
Published: July 2018

Nowadays, the Colebrook equation is used as a mostly accepted relation for the calculation of fluid flow friction factor. However, the Colebrook equation is implicit with respect to the friction factor (λ). In the present study, a noniterative approach using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was developed to calculate the friction factor. To configure the ANN model, the input parameters of the Reynolds Number (Re) and the relative roughness of pipe (ε/D) were transformed to logarithmic scales. The 90,000 sets of data were fed to the ANN model involving three layers: input, hidden, and output layers with, 2, 50, and 1 neurons, respectively. This configuration was capable of predicting the values of friction factor in the Colebrook equation for any given values of the Reynolds number (Re) and the relative roughness (ε/D) ranging between 5000 and 108 and between 10−7 and 0.1, respectively. The proposed ANN demonstrates the relative error up to 0.07% which had the high accuracy compared with the vast majority of the precise explicit approximations of the Colebrook equation.

How diverse are the samples used in the journals ‘Evolution & Human Behavior’ and ‘Evolutionary Psychology’?
Authors: Pollet Thomas V. , Saxton Tamsin
Published: July 2018

Psychologists regularly draw inferences about populations based on data from small samples of people, and so have long been interested in how well those samples generalise to wider populations. There is a consensus that psychology probably relies too much on samples from Western Educated Industrialised Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) societies, and among those from university students. Online surveys might be used to increase sample diversity, although online sampling still reaches only a restricted range of participants. Studies from evolutionary psychology often seek to uncover aspects of evolved universal characteristics, and so might demonstrate a particular interest in the use of diverse samples. Here, we empirically examine the samples used in the 2015-2016 volumes of ‘Evolution & Human Behavior’ (104 articles) and ‘Evolutionary Psychology’ (76 articles). Our database consists of 311 samples of humans (median sample size = 186). The majority of samples were either online or student samples (70% of samples), followed by other adult Western samples (19%). 253 (81%) of the samples were classified as ‘Western’ (Europe/North America/Australia). The remaining samples were predominantly from Asia (N= 37; 12%, mostly Japan). Only a small fraction of the samples was taken from Latin American and Caribbean (N = 8) or African (N = 6) countries. The median sample size did not differ significantly between continents, but online samples (both paid and unpaid) were typically larger than samples sourced offline. It seems that the samples used are more diverse than those that have been reported in reviews of the literature from social and developmental psychology, perhaps because evolutionary psychology has a greater inherent need to test hypotheses about an evolved and universal human nature. However, it is also apparent that the majority of samples within contemporary evolutionary psychology research remain WEIRD.
Data & Civil Rights: Employment Primer
Authors: Rosenblat Alex , Wikelius Kate , boyd danah , Gangadharan Seeta Peña , Yu Corrine
Published: July 2018

Employees and prospective employees produce more data than ever - in the workplace, on social media, and beyond. Employers and the third party companies that assist them increasingly apply analytical tools to these various data streams to measure factors that influence employee performance, attrition rates, and workplace profitability. While some of the data - such as past performance - are unquestionably relevant to such analysis, other data that produces strong correlations to performance are more surprising. For instance, Evolv, a recruiting software company, analyzed 3 million data points about 30,000 hourly employees and identified that those who installed newer browsers, like Chrome or Firefox, onto their computers stay at their jobs 15% longer than those who use default browsers that come pre-installed on their computers, like Safari for Macs. Job candidates may rightly worry that they will be excluded from or included in job opportunities based on data that seem arbitrary and are outside their field of vision. For example, a job candidate’s resume could be excluded from a talent pool because of her online browsing habits, but she is unlikely to find that out directly. The complexity of hiring algorithms which fold all kinds of data into scoring systems make it difficult to detect and therefore challenge hiring decisions, even when outputs appear to disadvantage particular groups within a protected class. When hiring algorithms weigh many factors to reach an unexplained decision, job applicants and outside observers are unable to detect and challenge factors that may have a disparate impact on protected groups.
Design Tools and Complexity: Mobile Games and Collective Imagination
Authors: Roudavski Stanislav , Holland Alexander
Published: July 2018

This paper is based on a hypothesis that games can be used to support design decisions in a variety of complex situations. To explore this proposition, the research described below focuses on two aspects. Firstly, it experiments with the potential of games to be socially provocative. And secondly, it applies the induced provocations in support of collective imagination. This discussion is supported by a practical case study: a working prototype of a smartphone game that simulates urban cycling. The paper discusses utilisation of this game by diverse stakeholders in a workshop that sought to advance decision-making in a particularly vexatious stalemate.
Water: The environmental, technological and societal complexity of a simple substance
Authors: Hering Janet Gordon
Published: July 2018

For such a simple substance, water plays a remarkable variety of critical roles at scales ranging from molecular to global. Water is essential to life, constituting roughly 60% of our bodies, and is a dominant feature of our planet, covering over 70% of its surface. Because of the importance of water to society – for purposes ranging from consumption and sanitation to irrigation, navigation and energy production – water management has been a principal responsibility of civil society throughout history. Water infrastructure represents a major investment on the part of society and has dramatically changed the extent and function of natural waterbodies and water courses. With the current megatrends of population growth, urbanization and changing consumption patterns (especially to more meat-based diets), demands and pressures on water resources are increasing. Meeting the direct needs of societies and, simultaneously, maintaining aquatic ecosystem structure and function will require collaboration, cooperation and the open sharing of knowledge and experience among water researchers (from the natural, social and engineering sciences), professionals (from the public and private sectors) engaged in management and regulation of water supply and resources and civil society organizations that seek to promote sustainable water management and protection of aquatic ecosystems.

A short review on porous media convection
Authors: shao ke
Published: July 2018

We briefly review the investigations of pattern formation and transport properties of Rayleigh-Darcy convection (or the Elder Problem), including laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. It is shown that the flow exhibits power-law-scaling characteristics at large Rayleigh-Darcy number $Ra$, a dimensionless parameter representing the ratio of the driving buoyancy forces to the diffusive forces. Namely, the mean spacing between neighboring interior plumes shrinks as $Ra^{-\alpha}$ with the scaling exponent $\alpha \le 1/2$ and the convective flux increases linearly with $Ra$. However, more laboratory experiments are needed to validate these scalings. Additionally, many conditions, e.g. the inclination of the layer and hydrodynamic dispersion, etc., may lead to a large uncertainty in the flow pattern and transport efficiency.
Anthropological Publics and Their Onlookers: The Dynamics of Multiple Audiences In The Blog Savageminds.org
Authors: Golub Alex , Friedman P. Kerim
Published: July 2018

From its founding, it became clear that Savage Minds filled an important niche, quickly drawing the attention of others in the academic blogosphere. In 2006 Nature ranked Savage Minds 17th out of the 50 top science blogs across all scientific disciplines. In 2010, American Anthropologist has called Savage Minds “the central online site of the North American anthropological community” whose “value is found in the quality of the posts by the site’s central contributors, a cadre of bright, engaged, young anthropology professors”. Through an analysis of our own involvement as co-founders and editors of Savage Minds this chapter seeks to explore the reasons for our blog’s success, not for the purpose of self-aggrandizement, but to better understand the as-yet-unfulfilled promise of online scholarly communication in anthropology for which Savage Minds constitutes an initial public beta. To the extent our site is a successful example of public scholarship, it is so (we will argue) because of the way it straddles, engages with, and transforms two key spaces of discourse: anthropology’s ‘professional imaginary’ and ‘public anthropology.’ We argue that the goal of public anthropology is best served by the blog when it takes the form of “doing anthropology in public”—embodying the professional imaginary on a public platform.
Workplace Surveillance
Authors: Rosenblat Alex , Kneese Tamara , boyd danah
Published: July 2018

In order to increase efficiency, measure productivity, decrease risk, and generally maximize profits, many private enterprises monitor their employees. While “workplace surveillance,” a term used interchangeably with “employee monitoring” (Ball, 2010, p. 88) is an age-old practice, its contemporary methods in the United States have their roots in the transformation of the workforce in the mid-19th to early 21st centuries. When laborers began moving to cities to sell their time for wages, the focus of work and the workplace shifted from subsistence labor on farms to hourly and salaried work in the factories of the industrial revolution. Business in the United States turned into “big business;” at the end of the 19th century, as the railroads expanded their organizational reach, merchants with localized shops and market knowledge had to merge in order to remain competitive in a growing market. The mergers did not produce uniform organizational units automatically, and the modes of production and accounting within the combined company were often in disarray (Saval, 2014, p. 38). Once the production of goods and the methods of their transit exceeded the slower, human pace of labor, a control crisis emerged for employers who suddenly needed to process much more information to keep up with the industrial pace of production (Beniger, 1989, p. 169). The pressing question became: what structures and technologies can ensure efficiency and integrity in the organization of business and labor (Zureik, 2003, p. 48)? The innovations in information processing and communication technologies that developed to address this question were mainly directed at managing workers (Beniger, 1989, p. 169).
The Black White IQ gap in the total sample of the Vietnam Experience Study
Authors: Kirkegaard Emil O. W.
Published: July 2018

IQ differences were examined between Blacks and Whites in a large Vietnam era sample (Vietnam Experience Study; total n ≈ 10,800). Relative to a White IQ of 100 and SD of 15, Blacks obtained a mean IQ of 85 and an SD of 12.An attempt to examine measurement invariance using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis failed with impossible estimates and very poor fits. A simpler approach of examining the correlation matrices by group showed that the White correlations were stronger, sometimes by a lot. Possible reasons for this were discussed.
The Role of A/B Tests in the Study of Large-Scale Online Learning
Authors: Savi Alexander Olof , Williams Joseph Jay , Maris Gunter , van der Maas Han
Published: July 2018

Although large-scale online learning increasingly succeeds in attracting learners worldwide, to date it fails to deliver on its promise. We first show the immense popularity of online learning and discuss its (unsatisfactory) effectiveness. We then discuss large-scale online randomized controlled experiments (A/B tests) as a powerful complimentary means to enable the desired leap forward. Although these experiments are widely and intensively used for web page optimization, and are slowly being adopted by the online learning community, their use, benefits, and challenges have only limitedly seeped through to the larger learning community. We summarize existing efforts in employing A/B tests in online learning, argue that such tests should take into account the typical nature of (online) learning, and encourage the use of knowledge from the various learning sciences to identify interventions that promise improved learning. We finally discuss both the limitations and promises of A/B tests, and show how such tests can ultimately contribute to learning that is tailored to each individual learner. The insights and priorities that arise from this overview and synthesis of A/B tests in online learning may help advance and direct the field.

Relating unsupervised word segmentation to reported vocabulary acquisition
Authors: Larsen Elin , Cristia Alejandrina , Dupoux Emmanuel
Published: July 2018

A range of computational approaches have been used to model the discovery of word forms from continuous speech by infants. Typically, these algorithms are evaluated with respect to the ideal ’gold standard’ word segmentation and lexicon. These metrics assess how well an algorithm matches the adult state, but may not reflect the intermediate states of the child’s lexical development. We set up a new evaluation method based on the correlation between word frequency counts derived from the application of an algorithm onto a corpus of child-directed speech, and the proportion of infants knowing the words according to parental reports. We evaluate a representative set of 4 algorithms, applied to transcriptions of the Brent corpus, which have been phonologized using either phonemes or syllables as basic units. Results show remarkable variation in the extent to which these 8 algorithm-unit combinations predicted infant vocabulary, with some of these predictions surpassing those derived from the adult gold standard segmentation. We argue that infant vocabulary prediction provides a useful complement to traditional evaluation; for example, the best predictor model was also one of the worst in terms of segmentation score, and there was no clear relationship between token or boundary F-score and vocabulary prediction.
Views on Data Stewardship - report of preliminary findings at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management (TPM) at TU Delft
Authors: Teperek Marta
Published: July 2018

Qualitative interviews with nine researchers at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management (TPM) at TU Delft were undertaken in order to get an understanding of data management needs at the faculty in advance of appointing a dedicated Data Steward. The purpose of this was to aid the recruitment of the Data Steward and to define the skills and experience of an ideal candidate, as well as help deciding on the work priority areas for the Data Steward. The results of this research can be also used as a point in time reference to monitor changes in data management practice at the faculty.The main data management challenges identified were: handling personal sensitive research data; working with big data, managing and sharing commercially confidential information and software management issues. Despite the diversity of problems, some common issues were identified as well: need for improving daily data management practice, as well as the need for revising workflows for students’ research data. With the exception of one researcher, who was in opposition to the Data Stewardship project, all other researchers expressed their support for the project and welcomed the idea of having a dedicated Data Steward at the faculty.Additionally, several follow up actions were already undertaken as a follow up of these interviews: the Data Stewardship Coordinator was invited to give two talks about Data Stewardship to two different groups of researchers;a member of the Research Data Support from the Library team was asked to deliver a training course for students;the Data Stewardship Coordinator was asked to discuss the best way of rolling our data management training for PhD students at TPM in coordination with the TPM Graduate School.Given that the financial allocation for the Data Steward at TPM faculty is currently at 0,5 FTE for the first year and 1,0 FTE for the two subsequent years (until December 2020), it is recommended that the first year is spent on continuing and extending this research to better understand the needs of the faculty. It is suggested that at the same time, the Data Steward starts addressing the most urgent data management needs at TPM faculty, in particular the development of a data management policy, as well as the development of solutions and recommendations for working with personal sensitive research data.The two subsequent years could be devoted to developing resources and solutions for the remaining problems and for critical evaluation of the project and its effect on data management practice at the faculty. This approach should provide the faculty with enough resources and information to decide on the best strategy for Data Stewardship beyond December 2020.
DDCCast: Meeting Point to Multipoint Transfer Deadlines Across Datacenters using ALAP Scheduling Policy
Authors: Noormohammadpour Max , Raghavendra Cauligi S.
Published: July 2018

Large cloud companies manage dozens of datacenters across the globe connected using dedicated inter-datacenter networks. An important application of these networks is data replication which is done for purposes such as increased resiliency via making backup copies, getting data closer to users for reduced delay and WAN bandwidth usage, and global load balancing. These replications usually lead to network transfers with deadlines that determine the time prior to which all datacenters should have a copy of the data. Inter-datacenter networks have limited capacity and need be utilized efficiently to maximize performance. In this report, we focus on applications that transfer multiple copies of objects from one datacenter to several datacenters given deadline constraints. Existing solutions are either deadline agnostic, or only consider point-to-point transfers. We propose DDCCast, a simple yet effective deadline aware point to multipoint technique based on DCCast and using ALAP traffic allocation. DDCCast performs careful admission control using temporal planning, uses rate-allocation and rate-limiting to avoid congestion and sends traffic over forwarding trees that are carefully selected to reduce bandwidth usage and maximize deadline meet rate. We perform experiments confirming DDCCast's potential to reduce total bandwidth usage by up to 45% while admitting up to 25% more traffic into the network compared to existing solutions that guarantee deadlines.
Identifying Sleep Spindles with Multichannel EEG and Classification Optimization
Authors: Mei Ning , Ellmore Timothy
Published: July 2018

Sleep researchers classify critical neural events called spindles that are related to memory consolidation via scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Manual classification is time consuming and is susceptible to low inter-rater agreement. This could be addressed using an automated approach. The current study presents an optimized filter based and thresholding pipeline to set up a baseline for comparison to evaluate machine learning models using naïve features, such as raw signals, peak frequency, and dominant power. Filter based and thresholding pipelines allow us to formally define sleep spindles using signal processing but may miss examples most human scorers would agree were spindles. Machine learning methods, in theory should be able to approach human performance but they require a large quantity of scored data, proper feature representation, intensive feature engineering, and model selection. We evaluate both a pipeline based signal processing and machine learning with naïve features. We show that the machine learning models learned from our pipeline improve classification. An automated approach designed for the current data was applied to the DREAMS dataset. With one of the expert’s annotation as a gold standard, our pipeline yields an excellent sensitivity that is close to a second expert’s scores and with the advantage that it can classify spindles based on multiple channels if more channels are available. More importantly, our pipeline could be modified as a guide to aid manual annotation of sleep spindles based on multiple channels quickly (6-10 seconds for processing a 40-minute EEG recording) making it faster and more objective.

Published: July 2018

The phenomenon of lower political participation of lower-class women in urban areas, is getting worse when the variouspolicies adopted by the government do not side with the urban women's groups for the lower classes. The research method used in thisresearch is a descriptive qualitative approach. This sampling technique used in studies that prioritize the purpose of research than onthe nature of the population in determining the sample research. Therefore, in this study, no random samples were used, but thesamples purposive samples. Primary data includes data obtained directly from respondents or informants through in-depth interviewswith a final questionnaire of 40 respondents consisting of various professions, while secondary data is data obtained from documentsthat have been authorized or have published. Women's participation in urban village development strongly influenced by differentfactors, ranging from socio-economic, cultural, to lifestyle issues. Groups identified as mothers or socialite women living in luxuryhousing tend to be less concerned with the common interests of people, while women or mothers who live in ordinary or village housealthough they have a high level of concern for development issues run by sub-district was facing various problems when running therole of participation. As a result, qualitatively the role becomes less than optimal.

The Effect of Reflection-Supported Process-Based Writing Teaching on Iraqi EFL Students' Writing Performance and Attitude
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Hamid Salam
Published: July 2018

The study aims at finding out the effect of process-based writing teaching supported by students' reflection on their performance in, and attitude toward writing. It hypothesizes that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean score of the experimental group taught writing according to the reflection-supported process-based approach and the control group taught writing according to the process-based approach in the writing performance test and writing attitude scale. To achieve the aims of the study, two second year sections in the Department of English of the College of Education/ Ibn Rushd for Human Sciences are randomly assigned as the experimental and control groups with 43 and 45 students respectively. The experiment in this study lasts for 15 weeks during which both groups are taught writing according to the process approach and given one writing assignment per week. Only the experimental group students are required to reflect on their writing performance in every writing assignment by using a reflection sheet prepared for this purpose. At the end of the experiment, the two instruments of the study, i.e., a writing performance test and attitude toward writing scale are administered on both groups. The statistical manipulation of the results achieved shows that supporting the process orientation to writing teaching with a phase of students reflection on their writing performance is effective in developing their writing performance and helping them formulate positive attitude toward writing. In the light of the results and conclusions achieved, a set of recommendations is put forward.

Analyzing ordinal data with metric models: What could possibly go wrong?
Authors: Liddell Torrin , Kruschke John K.
Published: July 2018

We surveyed all articles in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP), Psychological Science (PS), and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General (JEP:G) that mentioned the term "Likert," and found that 100% of the articles that analyzed ordinal data did so using a metric model. We present novel evidence that analyzing ordinal data as if they were metric can systematically lead to errors. We demonstrate false alarms (i.e., detecting an effect where none exists, Type~I errors) and failures to detect effects (i.e., loss of power, Type II errors). We demonstrate systematic inversions of effects, for which treating ordinal data as metric indicates the opposite ordering of means than the true ordering of means. We show the same problems --- false alarms, misses, and inversions --- for interactions in factorial designs and for trend analyses in regression. We demonstrate that averaging across multiple ordinal measurements does not solve or even ameliorate these problems. We provide simple graphical explanations of why these mistakes occur. Moreover, we point out that there is no sure-fire way to detect these problems by treating the ordinal values as metric, and instead we advocate use of ordered-probit models (or similar) because they will better describe the data. Finally, although frequentist approaches to some ordered-probit models are available, we use Bayesian methods because of their flexibility in specifying models and their richness and accuracy in providing parameter estimates.

Se evaluó la distribución y especiación de los metales pesados Cd, Ni, Mn y Cu en sedimentossuperficiales de tres áreas geográficas del oriente del país ubicadas en la Bahía de Guanta-Pertigalete,estado Anzoátegui, Venezuela. Las muestras fueron recolectadas utilizando una draga Diez Laffont de0,02 m2 de área. Los sedimentos fueron sometidos a un proceso de extracción por pasos para extraer lasdiferentes fracciones geoquímicas. Los metales se determinaron por espectrofotometría de absorciónatómica con llama de aire-acetileno y corrector de fondo de deuterio. Los resultados obtenidos muestranque los sedimentos superficiales de la región estudiada presentan variaciones en las concentraciones delos metales relacionadas con sus diferentes fracciones geoquímicas: biodisponibles (F1), asociados a loscarbonatos (F2), asociados a los oxihidróxidos de Mn y Fe (F3) y con la materia orgánica (F4). Se presentauna alta proporción de cadmio biodisponible (F1 y F2) y potencialmente biodisponible (F3) que constituyenun nivel de riesgo para el ecosistema en cuestion. Por otra parte, existe una asociación significativa entretodos los metales estudiados y la fracción F3, puesto que es en ésta donde generalmente se encuentranlas mayores concentraciones. La escala de contaminación de los metales estudiados en los sedimentossuperficiales de Guanta-Pertigalete fue Mn > Ni > Cu > Cd siendo el Cu y Cd metales muy tóxicos para labiota marina y el hombre, lo que representa un peligro potencial para las áreas en estudio.
Algorithmic Manifolds and Their Properties
Authors: Yabu Takuya
Published: July 2018

About computational complexity, it has been studied for long time. Recent literature has shown that the existing proof method using the diagonal argument or the circuit complexity is not effective. On the other hand, as another approach, calculation of time complexity based on the geometric method is also performed, but it is limited to the quantum algorithm, and it is an application example to the existing method of lower band derivation of quantum circuit complexity, it is essentially unchanged.　In this paper, I introduce algorithmic manifolds that explain algorithms by geometric methods and discuss their properties. In the section 2, I discuss the relationship between algorithmic manifolds and time. In the section 3, I discuss the relationship between algorithmic manifolds and amounts of data. In the section 4, I discuss topological characteristics of algorithmic manifolds. The section 5 is the conclusion of this paper.
¿La psicoterapia transforma la praxis moral?
Authors: Garcia Mikel Garcia
Published: July 2018

Esta investigación la realicé para responder la pregunta del título partiendo de la hipótesis nula H0: Realizar psicoterapia no se asocia a elecciones utilitaristas ante dilemas morales. Los sujetos participaron voluntariamente, muchos por internet, evaluando unos dilemas éticos, aportando datos sociodemográficos y de religión, y contestando el cuestionario de personalidad MCMI. El análisis es cualitativo (Atlas.ti) y cuantitativo (SPSS) sobre una muestra válida de 85 sujetos. Resultados: a) se rechaza la H0. Hacer psicoterapia si está asociada a elecciones utilitaristas; b) los sujetos de más edad son más utilitaristas; c) las personalidades compulsivas con sentimiento de culpa hacen elecciones deontologistas. Se discute sobre los resultados, insuficiencias y alcance de la investigación. Se concluye con una discusión teórica general sobre el interés de seguir investigando, con una perspectiva consiliente y transformadora de la violencia, anticipando áreas a tener en cuenta.

PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT DALAM BERPERILAKU HIDUP BERSIH dan SEHAT (PHBS) MELALUI GERAKAN MORAL “PINASA” DI KABUPATEN BANGGAI
Authors: Ramli Ramli
Published: July 2018

AbstrakSalah satu perilaku penting dalam PHBS adalah perilaku membuang sampah. Perilaku membuang sampah sembarangan masih merupakan masalah perilaku yang membutuhkan perhatian dalam penyelesaiannya dengan melibatkan peran serta semua pihak terutama masyarakat melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat yakni agar masyarakat tahu, mau, dan mampu mempraktekkan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat serta berperan aktif dalam gerakan kesehatan khususnya dalam perilaku membuang sampah pada tempatnya. Tujuan Untuk memberikan Gambaran tentang pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Berperilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat Melalui Gerakan Moral PINASA di Kabupaten Banggai.Pemberian informasi, sosialisasi tentang PINASA dalam rangka peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang gerakan moral ini sudah sangat baik Pembentukan sikap positif masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai terhadap gerakan moral PINASA harus disertai dengan bahaya atau risiko negatif yang ditimbulkan jika PINASA tidak dilakukan. Untuk melestarikan gerakan moral PINASA ini, gerakan PINASA, agar masyarakat terbiasa dengan tindakan itu maka harus disediakan fasilitas seperti tempat sampah dan sistem pengangkutan di Kota Luwuk yang memadai baik dari kuantitas maupun kualitasnya. Oleh karena itu disarankan kepada Pemerintah Daerah dan Dinas terkait tetap mempertahankan dan juga meningkatkan proses sosialisasi dan pemberian informasi tentang PINASA untuk peningkatan pengetahuan dengan memperhatikan sosial budaya dan kearifan local seperti bahasa, adat istiadat dan agama di masyarakat Kabupaten Banggai. Perlu dirumuskan pesan-pesan dalam sosialisasi yang memuat tentang “bahaya” atau akibat negatif yang ditimbulkan apabila gerakan moral PINASA tidak dilakukan, sehingga menimbulkan sikap positif dan menggugah masyarakt untuk cenderung berbuat khusunya gerakan PINASA tersebut. Pemerintah maupun masyarakat berusaha sama-sama untuk menyediakan fasilitas sesuai dengan kewenangan dan kemampuan masing-masing. Pemerintah menyediakan tempat sampah komunal sebanyak mungkin dan mengatur sebaik mungkin pengangkutan dan pengelolaan sampah, sedangkan masyarakat menyediakan tempat sampah di rumah tangga masing-masing untuk mempermudah berperilaku hidupbersi dan sehat dengan membuang sampah pada tempatnya.
How to boost the ranking of your university using self-citations? An example of the weaknesses of university ranking systems
Authors: Mussard Maxime , James Alex
Published: July 2018

The example provided in this opinion article shows that it is now possible for a single academic to drastically increase the ranking of its university by abusing one of the weaknesses of a given ranking system. Due to the importance of these rankings nowadays in the media or public opinion, it is time to design a resilient and reliable ranking which can annihilate future potential manipulations and pressures from university administrations or governments. Indeed, we can easily imagine a university pushing professors to self-cite their work to increase the global ranking, and thus affecting universities and academics trying to do their job honestly. Other parameters may be as well easy to abuse to boost significantly a ranking artificially (for example: parameters involving ratios of staff and/or students). Such manipulations would be very detrimental to the quality of research and teaching worldwide in the future.It is time for the university ranking organisations to have a serious self-critic on their weaknesses and to think together with the academics about a ranking system which could be robust enough to annihilate such manipulations. Ideally, the ranking should push universities to increase the quality of their research and teaching, instead of encouraging academic misconduct. The credibility and the reputation of the academic world are now on the line.
"Which Humanism?" On the Italian Theory of Architecture, 1951-1969
Authors: Djalali Amir
Published: July 2018

This chapter focuses on the possibility of isolating an Italian theory of architecture in the postwar period until 1969, taking the controversy over Renaissance proportions as a case study. Rather than defining a specific approach to the subject from Italian authors compared to their international colleagues, this contribution explores the specificity of Italian humanism and the significance of that experience from the point of view of the postwar reconstruction. The study of Renaissance architecture, rather than offering a historical precedent for the construction of national identities, warded off that possibility, constituting a problematic beginning for European modernity.
Perhitungan Tingkat Kompetisi antar Murid atau Mahasiswa di Kelas dan Kaitannya Dengan Keadilan Guru atau Dosen Dalam Mengajar
Authors: Haryadi Sigit
Published: July 2018

Pada makalah ini, diusulkan suatu metoda pengukuran tingkat kompetisi antar murid atau mahasiswa yang terjadi di kelas dan kaitannya dengan tingkat keadilan guru atau dosen yang mengajar. Teknik pengukuran yang dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan rumus yang dibuat pada bulan April 2016, oleh Sigit Haryadi, dan dinamakan sebagai “Indeks Haryadi”. Metoda ini sangat penting karena ada sebagian guru dan dosen yang mengajar di kelas yang tidak pernah melakukan introspeksi, apakah dia sudah adil terhadap murid-muridnya di kelas yang diajarnya, dimana guru atau dosen tersebut selalu beranggapan bahwa jika ada murid atau mahasiswa yang tidak bisa mengikuti pelajaran di kelas yang diajarnya, adalah dianggap sebagai kesalahan murid atau mahasiswa.
