URGENSI MANAJEMEN PENDIDIKAN PESANTREN DALAM KELUARGA
Authors: Wangsadanureja Miftah
Published: November 2018

Banyaknya kasus peserta didik yang tidak beretika terhadap guru sudah menjadi sebuah fenomena saat ini. Sayangnya hal tersebut bukan hanya terjadi di sekolah saja, melainkan di lingkungan pondok pesantren yang seharusnya mencerminkan lembaga pendidikan yang membentuk karakter manusia berakhlak mulia. Yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah salahkah manajemen pendidikan pesantren selama ini? Atau apakah pendidikan dalam keluarga tidak sejalan dengan pendidikan di pesantren? Realitas ini mendorong penulis untuk menganalisis fenomena tersebut, mengapa manajemen pendidikan Islam di lembaga pendidikan formal belum mampu merubah karakter dan akhlak para peserta didiknya, sehingga penulis menganggap bahwa faktor penting dalam menghadapi tantangan ini adalah harus adanya manajemen pendidikan Islam dalam keluarga, sebab keluarga merupakan lembaga pendidikan utama berpengaruh besar dalam membina dan mencetak manusia berkarakter, sedangkan pesantren atau lembaga pendidikan formal lainnya pada hakikatnya sebagai sarana penunjang. Sebuah mindset yang salah jika setiap orangtua menganggap pesantren sebagai “tempat sulap” yang akan merubah anak-anaknya menjadi baik, padahal semua itu tidak akan terjadi manakala tidak ada kerjasama antara manejemen pendidikan formal dengan manajemen pendidikan keluarga. Penulis ingin mengemukakan gagasan tentang konsep mengenai pentingnya menghadirkan manajemen pesantren di rumah, sehingga ketika sang anak masuk ke dunia pesantren sudah terbiasa dengan pendidikan di rumahnya. Kata Kunci: Pendidikan Islam, Keluaga, Manajeman Pesantren

Preprint: Unstable correspondence between salivary testosterone measured with enzyme immunoassays and tandem mass spectrometry
Authors: Prasad Smrithi , Lassetter Bethany , Welker Keith M , Mehta Pranjal
Published: November 2018

Although some studies reveal that saliva handling and storage practices may influence salivary testosterone concentrations measured with immunoassays, the effect of these method factors on the validity of testosterone immunoassays remains unknown. The validity of immunoassays can be assessed by comparing hormone concentrations measured with immunoassays to a standard reference method: liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (MS). We previously reported the correspondence between salivary testosterone measured with enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and with MS when there was less variance in (or more control over) method factors related to saliva handling and storage across measurement methods (Welker et al., 2016). In the present study, we expanded the original dataset and compared the correspondence between Salimetrics EIAs and MS when there was greater variance in (or less control over) method factors across EIAs and MS (high method variance), to when there was less variance in these factors (low method variance). If variance in these method factors impacts the validity of testosterone measurement, then the EIA-MS correspondence should be stronger when method variance is low compared to when it is high. Our results contradicted this hypothesis: Salimetrics EIA-MS correspondence was stronger when variance in method factors was high compared to when it was low. The composite average correlation across both method variance comparisons provides an updated estimate of Salimetrics EIA-MS correspondence, but the instability in this correspondence may pose challenges to the reproducibility of psychoneuroendocrinology research. We discuss possible explanations for the surprising pattern of results and provide recommendations for future research.

Published: November 2018

Pappaseng yang mengandung makna semantik pada kata ‘saloe na dek uwaena’ adalah simbol sungai yang tidak memiliki air. Air memiliki simbol kehidupan. Sungai identik dengan air sebagai sumber kehidupan, jika sungai itu akan merangas dan ditinggalkan oleh orang-orang yang di sekelilingnya. Pappaseng tersebut merupakan kesendiran terhadap pemimpin yang dapat menjadi sumber kesejahteraan rakyat, jika tidak memiliki sifat jujur maka rakyat akan hidup sengsara dan meninggalkannya. Fungsi lain pappaseng adalah untuk mengingatkan pemimpin agar bersifat amanah dalam memimpin. Dalam pappaseng disebutkan bahwa yang bermaksud bagian dari tiang dunia adalah raja atau pemimpin yang jujur, ulama yang suhud, orang kaya yang dermawan, dan orang miskin yang sabar. Kehiduan dalam dunia ini bisa tegak dan aman bila didukung oleh empat komponen tersebut. Bila salah satu dari mereka yang rusak, maka kehidupan di dunia ini akan terganggu. Fungsi pappaseng adalah sebagai sarana: (1) nasihat dan kritik, (2) karakter diri pada manusia, dan (3) nasihat dan sumber nilai. Pappaseng selain sebagai sarana pembentukan karakter juga menjadi sarana hiburan masyarakat Bugis.
Cenning Rara: Mantra dan Doa Masyarakat Bugis

Kata Cenning rara biasa diartikan oleh masyarakat Bugis di Sulawesi Selatan sebagai “wajah manis”. Kata ‘cenning’ memiliki arti manis di mana dalam pengertian masyarakat Bugis, yaitu wajah yang terlihat manis dan menarik. Doa yang digunakan tentu memiliki makna yang terkait pada hubungan cinta dan kasih sayang. Bacaan mantra Cenning rara diwariskan oleh leluhur Suku Bugis dan Suku Makassar. Meski begitu, kekuatan mantra Cenning rara bisa berbeda-beda pada setiap orang, baik pengguna maupun objek/sasaran mantranya. Sebabnya, cara kerja mantra yang hendak masuk pada ranah psikis seseorang, jiwa mengenalinya sebagai getaran asing. Maka, yang dilakukan psikis seseorang pun sama dengan tubuh. Yakni menolak dan melawannya. Jika psikis seseorang kuat, pengaruh mantra dapat ditolak untuk kemudian digagalkan.

Two-step actions in infancy - the TWAIN model
Authors: Gottwald Janna M. , Gredebäck Gustaf , Lindskog Marcus
Published: November 2018

In this paper, we propose a novel model – the TWAIN-model – to describe the durations of two-step actions in a reach-to-place task in human infants. Previous research demonstrates that infants and adults plan their actions across multiple steps. They adjust, for instance, the velocity of a reaching action depending on what they intend to do with the object once it is grasped. Despite these findings and irrespective of the larger context in which the action occurs, current models (e.g., Fitts’ law) target single, isolated actions, as for example pointing to a goal. In the current paper, we develop and empirically test a more ecologically valid model of two-step action planning. More specifically, 61 18-month-olds took part in a reach-to-place task and their reaching and placing durations were measured with a motion-capture system. Our model explained the highest amount of variance in placing duration and outperformed six previously suggested models, when using model comparison. We show that including parameters of the first action step, here the duration of the reaching action, can improve the description of the second action step, here the duration of the placing action. This move towards more ecologically valid models of action planning contributes knowledge as well as a framework for assessing human machine interactions. The TWAIN-model provides an updated way to quantify motor learning by the time these abilities develop, which might help to assess performance in typically developing human children.
Evaluating the Replicability of the Uncanny Valley Effect
Authors: Palomäki Jussi , Kunnari Anton , Drosinou Marianna , Koverola Mika , Lehtonen Noora , Halonen Juho , Repo Marko , Laakasuo Michael
Published: November 2018

The uncanny valley (UV) effect refers to an eerie feeling of unfamiliarity people get while observing or interacting with robots that resemble humans almost but not quite perfectly. The effect is not well understood, and it is also unclear how well results from previous research on the UV can be replicated. In six studies, both in the laboratory and online (N = 1343), we attempted to replicate the UV effect with various stimuli used in previous research. In Studies 1 and 2 we failed to replicate the UV effect with CGI stimuli created using the so-called morphing technique (a robot image morphed into a human image, resulting in a supposedly creepy robot-human image). In Studies 3a and 3b we found a prominent UV effect using pre-evaluated, non-morphed and photorealistic robot pictures. Finally, in exploratory Studies 4a and 4b we found the UV effect using morphed and photorealistic human and robot pictures. Our results suggest that the UV effect is more robust when elicited by pre-validated or prima facie uncanny robot pictures than by non-photorealistic images generated using the morphing technique. We argue that photorealistic pictures are more suitable than less realistic CGI pictures as stimuli for research attempting to elicit the UV effect – however, our results do not invalidate any previous research on the UV effect using morphing techniques, but point to their domain of applicability and context sensitivity.
Reasons or Rationalisations: The Role of Principles in the Moral Dumbfounding Paradigm
Authors: McHugh Cillian , McGann Marek , Igou Eric R. , Kinsella Elaine L.
Published: November 2018

Moral dumbfounding occurs when people maintain a moral judgment even though they cannot provide reasons for it. Recently, questions have been raised about whether dumbfounding is a real phenomenon. Two reasons have been proposed as guiding the judgments of dumbfounded participants: harm-based reasons (believing an action may cause harm) or norm-based reasons (breaking a moral norm is inherently wrong). Participants who endorsed either reason were excluded from analysis, and instances of moral dumbfounding seemingly reduced to non-significance. We argue that endorsing a reason is not sufficient evidence that a judgment is grounded in that reason. Stronger evidence should additionally account for (a) articulating a given reason, and (b) consistently applying the reason in different situations. Building on this, we develop revised exclusion criteria across 3 studies. Study 1 included an open-ended response option immediately after the presentation of a moral scenario. Responses were coded for mention of harm-based or norm-based reasons. Participants were excluded from analysis if they both articulated and endorsed a given reason. Using these revised criteria for exclusion, we found evidence for dumbfounding, as measured by the selecting of an admission of not having reasons. Studies 2 and 3 included a further three questions assessing the consistency with which people apply harm-based reasons. As predicted, few participants consistently applied, articulated, and endorsed harm-based reasons, and evidence for dumbfounding was found.
Pan, Tajran, Lovelett, Osuna, and Rickard (2018) Interleaved practice and foreign language learning (preprint)
Authors: Pan Steven C. , Tajran Jahan , Lovelett Jarrett , Osuna Jessica , Rickard Timothy Charles
Published: November 2018

Do the cognitive benefits of interleaving—the method of alternating between two or more skills or concepts during training—extend to foreign language learning? In four experiments, we investigated the efficacy of interleaved vs. conventional blocked practice for teaching adult learners to conjugate Spanish verbs in the preterite and imperfect past tenses. In the first two experiments, training occurred during a single session and interleaving between tenses began during the presentation of introductory content (Experiment 1) or during randomly-ordered verb conjugation practice trials at the end of the training session (Experiment 2). This yielded, respectively, numerically higher performance in the blocked group and equivalent performance in the interleaved and blocked groups on a two-day delayed test. In Experiments 3 and 4, the amount of training was increased across two weekly sessions in which the blocked group trained on one tense per session and the interleaved group trained on both tenses per session, with random interleaving occurring during verb conjugation practice trials. Interleaving yielded substantially better performance on a one-week delayed test. Thus, although interleaving did not confer an advantage over blocking under two different single-session training schedules, it improved learning when used to practice conjugating verbs across multiple training sessions. These results constitute the first demonstration of an interleaving effect for foreign language learning.
Gaali cultures: The politics of abusive exchange on social media
Authors: Udupa Sahana
Published: November 2018

On the rapidly expanding social media in India, online users are witness to a routine exchange of abusive terms and accusations with the choicest swearwords hurled even for the seemingly non-inflammatory political debates. This paper draws upon anthropology of insult to uncover the distinctness, if at all, of online abuse as a means for political participation as well as for the encumbering it provokes and relations of domination it reproduces as a result. In so doing, the paper critiques the conception of ludic as anti-hegemonic in the Bakhtian tradition, and develops an emic term ‘gaali’ to signal the blurred boundaries between comedy, insult, shame and abuse emerging on online media which also incite gendered forms of intimidation. Gaali, it argues, is best conceptualized through the metaphor of ‘sound’ as distinct from what recent new media studies theorize as ‘voice’.
Peoples' Perception on Decentralized Agri Service Provision at Local Level: A Case of Lamjung District, Nepal
Authors: Karki Sabin , Jaishi Mahesh , Chapagain Arjun
Published: November 2018

Perceptions are the attitudes of people which are considered as critical components of socio-cultural context. Decentralization promotes equity, people’s participation and effective service delivery at the local level through transfer of responsibilities and competencies, capacities and resource allocation power to a lower level of government. This also implies in the agricultural sector. In this context, a research was designed to study the attitudes of extension workers and farmers on decentralized agriculture service system in 3 Municipalites and 3 Village Development Committees (VDCs) of Lamjung district. Using by stratified proportionate sampling method, we selected 60 respondents, out of which 41.67 percent were the farmers and 58.33% were the extension workers. Five point Likert scales were developed to measure perception regarding four major components of decentralization. Qualitative as well as quantitative data were analyzed. Focus Group Discussion was also conducted to identify the problems. The result showed that, regarding the planning component, fiscal component and implementation component majority of respondent perceive positive response, while the perception of structural component was found varied response. Further findings indicated that there was lack of clear ideas on well-functioning of process among extension workers and farmers. Moreover, result showed that implementation related was the 1st ranked problem followed by financial related and structural related. Structural change to address increasing farmers' demand was one of the key interventions suggested by the respondents for the effectiveness of decentralized agriculture service provisionInt. J. Soc.

Coronary Heart Event Analysis with Association Rule Mining
Authors: Gomathy B. , Ramesh S.M. , Shanmugam A.
Published: November 2018

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of disability in adults as well as one of the main causes of death in the developed countries. Although significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of CHD, further investigation is still needed. The objective of this study was to develop the assessment of heart event-risk factors targeting in the reduction of CHD events using Association Rule Mining. The risk factors investigated were: 1) before the event: a) non modifiable—age, sex, and family history for premature CHD, b) modifiable—smoking before the event, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes; and 2) after the event: modifiable—smoking after the event, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and glucose. The events investigated were: myocardial infarction (MI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).Data-mining analysis was carried out using the Association Rule Mining for the afore mentioned three events using five different splitting criteria for larger datasets. The most important risk factors, as extracted from the classification rules analysis were: 1) for MI, age, smoking, and history of hypertension; 2) for PCI, family history, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes; and 3) for CABG, age, history of hypertension, and smoking. It is anticipated that data mining could help in the identification of high and low risk subgroups of subjects, a decisive factor for the selection of therapy, i.e., medical or surgical.
A Novel Text Steganographic Technique Using Specific Alphabets
Authors: Htet May , Phyo Su Wai
Published: November 2018

In today’s electronic era, wealth of electronic information are accessing over the Internet. Several important information and private data transferring over the Internet are being hacked by attackers via latest communication technology. So, maintaining the security of secret data has been a great challenge. To tackle the security problem, cryptographic methods as well as steganographic techniques are essential. This paper focuses on hybrid security system using cryptographic algorithm and text steganographic technique to achieve a more robust security system. In this work, to overcome the limited data hiding capacity, suspiciousness, and data damaging effect due to modification, of traditional steganographic techniques, a new technique for information hiding in text file is proposed. The proposed approach conceals a message, without degrading cover, by using first, second, second last, and last letter of words of the cover text. Hence, from the embedding capacity point of view, its capacity depends on the similarity of characters of the words in cover text. In addition, as further improvement for security, secret message encryption is performed using Blowfish algorithm before hiding into the innocuous cover text.

ABSTRACTAgile practices are release planning, sprint planning, and standup meetings. The Agile provides the requisite time and space for teams, enabling them, to collaborate with each other and build relationship among them. Frequent short meetings are being held daily by Agile teams to identify potential collaboration opportunities to be followed. User Centered Design (UCD) is a user interface design process which lays great emphasis on the usability objectives, user features, environmental circumstances, tasks and work input/flow in the design/model of an interface. However, some challenges occurred when the UCD joins the Agile process such as usability issues, collaboration problems, usability testing etc. The proposed model not only embraces the relevant issues but it resolves the same to a great extent. The evaluation of said model is done through a case study.

“Give Me Back My Son!”
Authors: Mitchell Linda E.
Published: November 2018

Medieval women, according to theorists whose positions were informed by
standard classical tropes, suffered from an “excess” of emotion, which barred them from
positions of political authority. Eleanor of Aquitaine—queen, countess, and mother of
kings—belies this categorization. As a political actor, especially in defense of her own territories
and as regent of her sons’ kingdom of England, Eleanor deployed emotional expressions
strategically in order to elicit patronage and support from other political leaders.
Although many historians have discussed the career of Eleanor of Aquitaine, most emphasize
her anomalous position, based on the presentation of her made by contemporary
chroniclers such as Roger of Hoveden and Ralph de Diceto. Unlike her husband, Henry II,
whose emotional outbursts usually resulted in disaster—vide the Becket debacle—Eleanor’s
use of emotion reinforced her position of authority and was underscored by her claim
of legitimate emotional distress as mother and as regent.
A Fiction of the French Nation
Authors: Miller Mary Ashburn
Published: November 2018

This article examines fictional representations of the emigration of the French
Revolution. It focuses on the novels Eugénie et Mathilde, Les Petits émigrés, and Le Retour
d’un émigré, which were published in France between 1797 and 1815 as émigrés were seeking
to return to the nation they had fled. It argues that these novels should be interpreted
as making claims about the ability of émigrés to reintegrate within the nation. The sentimental
novels responded to two key anxieties about the émigrés’ return by demonstrating
that émigrés had not been transformed into foreigners during their time abroad and that
they were not seeking to reconstitute Old Regime France. These novelists redefined the
émigré as an isolated and pitiable wanderer, and redefined France as a nation bound by
common suffering and sentiment.
¿Qué nos dicen los analistas en el pase?

Published: November 2018

¿Quién decide el final de un análisis? El dar por terminado un análisis tiene que ver con una decisión. Pero ¿Quién decide? No es el analista, tampoco el analizante, es una decisión acéfala, sin autor, no depende de la voluntad, Es un momento conclusivo, es propio de un proceso analítico que “toma” tanto al analizante como al analista. Nos lleva a pensar el complejo tema de la autorización: Nos encontramos con dos principios “El analista solo se autoriza de si mismo” y el analizante hace el pase para hacerse autorizar como analista de la Escuela, aunque parezcan contradictorios, los dos son solidarios. El primer principio, no excluye que la Escuela garantice que un analista surge de su formación. ¿Qué se verifica en el Pase? ¿Qué evalúa el jurado? Una pregunta que no tiene una sola respuesta. ¿Qué enseñan los testimonios de los AE? ¿Cómo un testimonio del Pase deviene enseñanza? ¿Cómo pasar de la singularidad de la experiencia a una enseñanza posible “para todos” o quizás para algunos?
Mifepristone and Misoprostol Vs Misoprostol Alone in Second Trimester Termination of Pregnancy
Authors: Shah Deepa , Rijal Pappu , Thakur Achala , Rai Rubina
Published: November 2018

Introduction: During the last decade, medical methods for second trimester abortion have considerably improved and become safe and more accessible. The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is now an established and highly effective method for second trimester abortion. But where mifepristone is not available or affordable, misoprostol alone has also been shown to be effective. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of mifepristone with misoprostol and misoprostol alone for second trimester termination of pregnancy.

Methods: It is a comparative study conducted on 60 patients from 13 to 18 weeks of gestation admitted for second trimester termination on legal indications.

Results: Mean induction abortion interval was comparable in both the groups. Of the 30 cases in each group, nine cases in each Group A and six cases in Group B had incomplete/failed expulsion. Among these 15 cases, only nine required check curettage for complete evacuation while others received oxytocics only for completion. The distribution of these cases was also comparable in both the groups. Only one patient in Group B had complete failure of expulsion and underwent surgical evacuation. However, the difference in dosage of misoprostol required for complete expulsion and incidence of side effects were significantly higher in the group B.

Conclusions: Mifepristone and misoprostol combined together is now an established, highly effective and safe method for medical method of second trimester termination. However, when mifepristone is not available or affordable, misoprostol alone can also be used effectively, although a higher total dose is needed and side effects are higher than with the combined regimen.

Introduction: Mental health and physical health are interconnected. Attitude of medical professionals towards mentally ill affects the quality of care the patient receives. Today’s medical students are tomorrow’s medical practitioner. We conducted a study in a teaching hospital to assess the attitude towards mental illness among medical students and interns.

Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was performed in 265 students in Kathmandu Medical College in August, 2017. Opinion about Mental Illness (OMI) questionnaire developed by Cohen and Struening was used.

Results: Of the total participants, 49.8%(132) were male and 50.2%(133) were female. Medical students were more authoritarian, more benevolent and believed that mental illness is like any other medical illness. They showed neutral attitude in terms of social restriction of mentally ill and interpersonal relationship as a cause of mental illness.

Conclusions: Positive attitude was seen only in terms of benevolence and mental hygiene ideology. Effective teaching and training programs is necessary to bring in positive attitude change towards mentally ill among medical students.

Introduction: Several studies on the nutritional status of chronic kidney disease patients living on haemodialysis revealed high prevalence of malnutrition (18-94%). A hospital-based study in Nepal revealed 66.7% mild to moderately malnourished and National Kidney Center reported common protein-energy malnutrition problem among haemodialysis patients. As almost all patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis looked malnourished, this study was carried out to explore prevailing dietary knowledge and practice of the patients.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey of 471 patients undergoing haemodialysis from June 2015 to July in 2015 was carried out. After stratification through a systematic random sampling method, 40 (67%) patients from National Kidney Center and 20 (33%) from Bir Hospital were selected, interviewed face to face by using structured questionnaire. Ethical and institutional approval and patients’ consent were obtained.

Results: The level of knowledge score found to be medium and practice score was even low. Seventy percent knew about renal diet but only 36 (60%) believed in it. After having kidney disease 42 (70%) had changed their dietary practice. Surprisingly, 38 (63.3%) said they ate the food what the other member in their family ate.

Conclusions: Considerable limited knowledge (medium) and practices (low) scores were found. Had they have taken adequate dietician’s support, they might have taken right kind and right amounts of foods and benefitted in controlling potassium, phosphate and protein at the recommended level. Plant-based diet could assist in end stage renal disease in a number of ways: an edge of protection against diet cost, reduce inter-related co-morbidities

Los archivos históricos de empresa son parte del patrimonio industrial que el desarrollo de la mecanización nos legó. En estos archivos se guarda la memoria económica, política y social de toda una sociedad. Sus documentos son una importante fuente de información cuantitativa, y sobre todo cualitativa, que difícilmente podemos encontrar en fondos públicos y con la que se pueden construir importantes procesos históricos. En este sentido el trabajo titulado “El archivo de la Compañía Industrial de Atlixco S. A. (ciasa): su función y organización documental”, trata sobre los mecanismos de generación de información durante los años de actividad de esta empresa y su fábrica textil (1899-1967). Asimismo, aborda la conversión a fondo documental histórico, y cómo fue organizado y puesto en valor como fuente para la investigación.
Los culpables tienen nombre y apellido. Luis Gutiérrez Oropeza y el 2 de octubre de 1968*

A 50 años del movimiento popular estudiantil de 1968 se hace necesario determinar la responsabilidad de cada uno de los participantes, en los trágicos sucesos del 2 de octubre, para así cicatrizar una herida aún abierta. Este artículo examina la forma en la que en la versión militar se delineó al enemigo, con lo cual se justificó la utilización de métodos violentos para finiquitar la peligrosa efervescencia popular. Un personaje importantísimo en la provocación desarrollada en la Plaza de las Tres Culturas de Tlatelolco fue el capitán Luis Gutiérrez Oropeza, jefe, entonces, del Estado Mayor Presidencial.

ANALISA KONDISI RUNWAY ELTARI KUPANG PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR
Authors: Lake Aloysius
Published: November 2018

Bandar Udara El Tari Kupang merupakan salah satu pintu gerbang transportasi dari dan ke Nusa Tenggara Timur.  Mengingat tingkat penerbangan yang semakin tinggi terhadap penumpang dan barang, maka tuntutan untuk meningkatkan pemeliharaan infrastruktur runway sudah saatnya dilakukan. Terutama, penanganan kerusakan yang terjadi di runway Bandar udara Eltari. Panjang runway yang mencapai 2.500 meter,  jika dilihat secara visual terdapat kerusakan pada area pinggir runway tersebut. Kerusakan ini terjadi di sepanjang area pinggir runway sisi kanan dan sisi kiri. Hal ini akan sangat berpengaruh pada kenyamanan dan keamanan para pengguna runway

Penilaian kondisi kerusakan perkerasan yang dikembangkan oleh U.S. Army Corp of Engineer (Shahin et al., 1976-1984), dinyatakan dalam Indeks Kondisi Perkerasan (Pavement Condition Index, PCI). Penggunaan PCI untuk perkerasan bandara, jalan, dan tempat parkir telah dipakai secara luas di Amerika. Departemen-departemen yang menggunakan prosedur PCI ini, misalnya: FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, 1982), Departemen Pertahanan Amerika (U.S. Air Force, 1981; U.S. Army, 1982), Asosiasi Pekerjaan Umum Amerika (American Public Work Association, 1984) dan lain-lain.

Metode PCI memberikan informasi kondisi perkerasan hanya pada saat survey dilakukan, tapi tidak dapat memberikan gambaran prediksi di masa datang. Namun demikian, dengan melakukan survey kondisi secara periodik, informasi kondisi perkerasan dapat berguna untuk prediksi kinerja di masa datang, selain juga dapat digunakan sebagai masukan pengukuran yang lebih detail.

Dari hasil perhitungan dan analisa maka dapat disimpulkan beberapa hal sebagai berikut: Jenis dan tingkat kerusakan perkerasan yang terjadi pada runway El Tari STA 0+300 s/d 1+800 sisi kiri adalah Retak Kulit Buaya (tingkat kerusakan rendah), Kegemukan (tingkat kerusakan tinggi), Amblas (tingkat kerusakan sedang), Retak Memanjang (tingkat kerusakan sedang), Pelepasan Butiran (tingkat kerusakan rendah hingga sedang), Retak Bulan Sabit (tingkat kerusakan sedang). Nilai Kondisi menurut PCI adalah 22, yang berarti kondisi kerusakan Serius. Penyebab kerusakan pada runway El Tari STA 0+300 – 1+800 sisi kiri, adalah : Tidak ditemukan agregat base pada struktur lapisan perkerasan, Kemiringan shoulder / bahu landasan. Sesuai dengan jenis/kondisi kerusakan maka penanganan yang dilakukan menurut Pavement Condition Index adalah melakukan  Rekonstruksi / Pembangunan Kembali.
EVALUASI DAYA DUKUNG TANAH DASAR UNTUK MENDUKUNG PENANGANAN KERUSAKAN RUAS JALAN WEELULI - FULUR KABUPATEN BELU – NTT

Salah satu penyebab kegagalan struktur perkerasan jalan (pavement) dalam melayani arus lalulintas adalah daya dukung tanah (DDT) yang relatif rendah. Hal ini dapat diantisipasi sebelumnya melalui suatu penelitian tanah dasar pada ruas jalan baru maupun peningkatan jalan. Parameter yang paling umum dipakai dalam menilai daya dukung tanah untuk perkerasan jalan adalah nilai California Bearing Ratio (CBR) yang dapat diperoleh baik melalui uji CBR laboratorium atau uji Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) langsung di lapangan. Dalam penelitian ini akan dievaluasi bagaimana aplikasi dari kedua metode ini untuk menilai daya dukung tanah dasar dengan mengambil kasus di Ruas Jalan Weeluli – Fulur Kabupaten Belu NTT. Ruas jalan ini mengalami kerusakan yang cukup parah karena beban kendaraan yang melalui jalur ini melebihi kapasitas tonase jalan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah diperolehnya nilai DDT berdasarkan hasil uji lapangan menggunakan DCP dan hasil uji CBR laboratorium dan nantinya dipakai dalam merencanakan pekerjaan peningkatan ruas jalan Weeluli – Fulur. Hasil perbandingan nilai CBR diperoleh hubungan antara CBR lapangan (y) dengan CBR Laboratorium (x) adalah Linear menurut persamaan y = 1,249x – 0,557.
