Michel Foucault: Parrhesia (Truth-Telling) Dan Care Of The Self
Authors: Kebung Konrad
Published: October 2020

Abstrak: Paper ini berbicara mengenai parrhesia, salah satu dari sekian banyak istilah teknis utama dari Michel Foucault. Parrhesia merupakan seminar terakhir yang didiskusikan Foucault di Universitas Calofornia di Berkeley, USA, di bawah judul: ‘Discourse on Truth: The Problemati- zation  of Parrhesia.’ Seri seminar ini  dan  seksualitas sebagaimana didiskusikan dalam History of Sexuality vol. 2 dan 3, berikut semua bahan kuliah  dan  interviu selama  dua  tahun terakhir sebelum kematiannya, dilihat sebagai puncak dari tiga jurus berpikir Foucault, terutama dalam hal ini jurus subyektivitas dan etika. Di sini terlihat, bagaimana manusia menyadari diri sebagai subjek bagi dirinya sendiri atau menjadi subjek etika.  Ini berarti  bahwa individu, berdasarkan kebebasan dan  kema- tangannya, secara praktis mampu berhubungan dengan dirinya sendiri (rapport a soi). Dengan itu, ia dapat disebut sebagai parrhesiast, yang tidak hanya menyampaikan kebenaran kepada orang lain, tetapi juga mampu menyampaikan kebenaran kepada dirinya sendiri. Dengan kata  lain, supaya bisa disebut sebagai parrhesiast, seorang individu harus memper- lihatkan dalam dirinya suatu hubungan erat antara apa yang ia katakan dengan apa  yang  ia perbuat. Teori dan  praktek selalu  harus berjalan beriringan. Seseorang boleh berbicara secara meyakinkan, namun ia juga harus bertindak dan berlaku benar dan baik.

 

Kata-kata kunci: Foucault, parrhesia, intelektual, subyek, etika.

 

Abstract: The paper presents one of Foucault’s many pregnant technical terms called πάρήσίά (parrhesia). Parrhesia is the main topic of his last seminar delivered at the University of California in Berkeley, USA, entitled “Discourse on Truth: The Problematization of Parrhesia.” These series of seminar and the issue of sexuality as discussed in his History of Sexuality vol. 2 and 3, added with all his lectures  and  interviews during the last two  years  before  his death, are  seen  as the  peak  of his three  axes of thought, namely the axis of subjectivity and  ethics. There, we see how humanbeing is aware of him/her self as subject of him/her own self or of being the subject of ethics. This means  that the invididual, based on his freedom and  maturity, is practically able  to relate  with  him/her self (rapport a soi). He is then to be called the parrhesiast, who not only tells the truth to other people, but also be able to tell the truth to him/her self. In other words, in order  to be a parrhesiast, an individual should show in his/her life a correspondence between what he/she speaks and what he/she does.  Theory  and  practice  should go hand in hand. One  can speak convincingly, yet is also to behave  well.

 

Keywords: Foucault, parrhesia, intellectual, subject, ethics.
PERSONAL-ORIENTED DEVELOPING FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION

Published: October 2020

Постановка задачи. Научно-методологической основой современной концепции высшего образования выступает синергетическое единство классических и современных психолого-педагогических подходов. Современное высшее образование ориентировано на приобщение молодого человека к фундаментальным знаниям, на формирование практических умений в будущей профессиональной деятельности и подготовку его к обучению на протяжении всей жизни. Однако современное образование мало ориентировано на жизненное и профессиональное самоопределение студента. Выводы. Комплексное использование в учебном процессе личностно-ориентированных технологий позволяет стимулировать развитие личностного потенциала, умственную деятельность, «запускает» развитие познавательных процессов, способствует формированию компетенций, необходимых будущему учителю иностранного языка. Личностно-ориентированное иноязычное обучение в вузе будет способствовать снятию страха будущего учителя перед школой, перед современными детьми и будет способствовать безболезненному вхождению молодого учителя иностранного языка в профессиональную деятельность и профессиональное сообщество.

The scientific and methodological basis of the modern concept of higher education is the synergetic unity of classical and modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. Modern higher education is focused on introducing a young person to fundamental knowledge, on forming practical skills in future professional activities and preparing them for lifelong learning. However, modern education is not focused on the life and professional self-determination of the student. The integrated use of personal-oriented technologies in the educational process in the process of teaching a foreign language stimulates personal and intellectual activity, develops cognitive processes, and contributes to the formation of competencies that a future foreign language teacher should possess. Personal-oriented foreign language education at the University will help to remove the fear of the future teacher before school, before modern children and will contribute to the painless entry of a young foreign language teacher into the professional activity and professional community.

Authors: Reni Rakhmawati  , Mei Sulistyoningsih
Published: October 2020

This study aims to determine the effect of giving ginger elephant and ginger empiric herbs by using automatic feeder or manual feed tool to the length of the leg bones (femur, tibia, metatarso) in ducks. This study used randomized randomized controlled trials with four treatments and three repetitions. GP1 (Feed + Automatic Feeder + Elephant Ginger 2%), GP2 (Feed + Manual + Elephant Ginger 2%), EP1 (Feed + Automatic Feeder + Emprit Ginger 2%), EP 2 (Feed + Manual + Empritic Ginger 2%). The parameters measured were the length of the leg bones (femur, tibia, metatarso) of ducks. The results of the analysis showed that the total bone length of the femur was 6.51 cm with Fcount (0.038) <Ftable (5.32), the total length of the total tibia bone was 11.9 cm with Fcount (1,313)  Ftable (5.32). These results indicate that the effect of giving ginger elephant and empirical ginger using a feed device Automatic feeder or manually has no significant effect (P> 0.05) on the length of the leg bones (femur, tibia, metatarso) of ducks. The results are not significantly different which causes the Automatic feeder tool to be a new breakthrough for replacing the manual feed tool for feeding ducks
Curing Time and Temperature Effect on the Resistance to Wet-Dry Cycles of Fly Ash Added Pumice Based Geopolymer
Authors: Yener Engin
Published: October 2020

The effects of curing regimes varying combinations of temperatures (ambient, 60 °C, 75 °C, 90 °C, 105 °C) and durations (4h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 96h, 168h) on the performance of fly ash added pumice based geopolymer pastes were investigated in this study. The precursor raw material consists of 70% pumice dust and 30% fly ash (FA). Alkali activator was prepared by mixing 10M sodium hydroxide (SH) solution and liquid sodium silicate (SS) in the ratio of SS/SH=2. Activator to precursor ratio was fixed as 0.45. Compressive strengths were determined at the 28 days of age as well as after exposure 5 wetting-drying (w-d) cycles. In addition, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) tests were conducted on the fresh and hardened geopolymer pastes in order to examine the effect of curing conditions to the structural changes and reaction products. The results show that in the case of 60 °C and 75 °C, the strength of the w-d conditioned samples increased steadily as the curing time increased. However, longer curing times of more than 24 hours are not beneficial for high curing temperatures (90 °C and 105 °C). The maximum strength after the w-d cycles is obtained for the curing conditions of 60°C/168h (74.4 MPa). Also, FTIR analysis confirmed that the hardened geopolymer paste transformed into a more coordinated structure and soluble carbonate compounds were reduced at 60 °C and 168 hours curing condition.
Geomorphological information system: Physical model and options of geomorphological analysis
Authors: Mentlík Pavel , Jedlička Karel , Minár Jozef , Barka Ivan
Published: October 2020

The paper has two main aims. Firstly, to postulate a physical geodatabase model of a geomorphological information system based on the already existing logical geodatabase model. Secondly, to define processes of geomorphological analysis based on the physical geodatabase model. The structure of the physical model follows the logical model and is divided into three parts: adopted layers (hydrology, geology, topography and others), basic layers (elementary forms, digital elevation model and derivatives, documentation materials, genetic groups of landforms, morphodynamic phenomena, basin based features and geomorphic network) and special layers (morphostructural analysis, comprehensive geomorphological analysis and so on). The geodatabase modelling methodology was used for developing the physical geodatabase model. The geomorphological analysis is based mainly on the layer of elementary forms (defined according to their morphology and morphometry) and the derived layer of morphogenetical forms (determined by genesis of landforms). The traditional methods of geomorphological mapping and also more recent concepts of geomorphological analysis were used. The concept is presented in the context of research in the surroundings of Prášilské jezero (lake) in the Šumava (Mts.). ESRI products were used to carry out the project.

Published: October 2020

The aim of this study was to identify a novel cancer stemness-related ceRNA regulatory axis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) via weighted gene coexpression network analysis of a stemness index. The RNA sequencing expression profiles of 513 cancer samples and 60 normal samples were obtained
from the TCGA database. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), and miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified with R software. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted using DAVID 6.8. The ceRNA network was constructed via multiple bioinformatics analyses, and the correlations
between possible ceRNAs and prognosis were analyzed using KaplanMeier plots. WGCNA was then applied to distinguish key genes related to the mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi) in LUAD. After combining the weighted gene coexpression and ceRNA networks, a novel ceRNA regulatory axis
was identified, and its biological functions were explored in vitro and vivo. In total, 1,825 DElncRNAs, 291 DEmiRNAs, and 3,742 DEmRNAs were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the DEmRNAs might be associated with LUAD onset and progression. The ceRNA network was constructed
with 14 lncRNAs, 10 miRNAs, and 52 mRNAs. KaplanMeier analysis identified 2 DEmiRNAs, 5 DElncRNAs, and 41 DEmRNAs with remarkable prognostic power. One gene (MFAP4) in the ceRNA network was found to be closely related to mRNAsi by using WGCNA. Functional investigation further confirmed that
the C8orf34-as1/miR-671-5p/MFAP4 regulatory axis has important functions in LUAD cell migration and stemness. This study provides a deeper understanding of the lncRNAmiRNAmRNA ceRNA network and, more importantly, reveals a novel ceRNA regulatory axis, which may provide new insights into novel
molecular therapeutic targets for inhibiting LUAD stem characteristics.

Published: October 2020

For precision finishing of various newly and difficult of finish materials like optical glasses, metals, 3D-printed workpieces etc. Ball End Magnetorheological Finishing (BEMRF) finishing processes has been recently developed. This method utilizes a paste like fluid consisting of a base fluid which can be either water or oil, both magnetic and non-magnetic particles and stabilizing agents if necessary. Rheological behavior of this mixture of magnetorheological (MR) fluid with abrasives changes under the influence of magnetic field which in turn regulates the finishing forces during finishing processes. Present study critically reviews the BEMRF process used for achieving nano-level finishing variety of materials like mild steel, EN-31, copper etc. and the factors influenced this process so far which led to further advancements in this method.

Published: October 2020

Brushless Direct-Current (BLDC) motors have several advantages including high efficiency and high speed ranges and accordingly are commonly used in a broad range of industrial applications. The optimization of the proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters are highly explored and a number of tuning techniques have been proposed. This work demonstrates a permanent magnet brushless Direct-Current (PMBLDC) motor controller design method by employing a simulated annealing optimization (SAO) algorithm to optimize the current controller and speed controller parameters to concurrently minimize over-shoot, rise-time, and settling-time. We compared the proposed approach with the Particle Swarm Optimization and the Ziegler-Nichols approaches and showed that the proposed approach outperforms both of the other two approaches.

Authors: Czechowski Mirosław
Published: October 2020

Friction stir welding (FSW) joints of AW 5083 and AW 5059 alloys were used for the study. Mechanical properties, resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) were investigated and metallographic tests were performed using an optical and scanning microscope (SEM). The parameters of friction welding are also given. Stress corrosion was investigated by the method of slow strain rate testing (SSRT) in air and 4.5% NaCl aqueous solution. During SCC tests elongation, strength, fracture energy and time to break were measured. Very good strength of the tested alloys was found with good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of using the AW 5059 and AW 5083 friction welded (FSW) alloys in marine structures, using stress corrosion resistance as a criterion

Authors: Ruzgar Nursel Selver , Chua Clare
Published: October 2020

In the real world, the class imbalance problem is a common issue in which classifier gives more importance to the majority class whereas less importance to the minority class. In class imbalance, imbalance metrics would not be suitable to evaluate the performance of classifiers with error rate or predictive accuracy. One type of imbalance data -handling method is resampling. In this paper, three resampling methods, oversampling, under-sampling and hybrid, methods are used with different approaches for in class imbalance of two different financial data to see the impact of class imbalance ratios on performance measures of nine different classification algorithms. Aiming to achieve better change classification performance, the performance of the classification algorithms, Bayes Net, Navie Bayes, J48, Random Forest Meta-Attribute Selected Classifier, MetaClassification via Regression, Meta-Logitboost, Logistic Regression, and Decision Tree, are measured on two Canadian Banks multiclass imbalance data with the performance measures, Precision, Recall, ROC Area and Kappa Statistic, by using WEKA software. The outcome of these performance measurements compared with three different resampling methods. The results provide us with a clear picture on the overall impact of class imbalance on the classification dataset and they indicate that proposed resampling methods can also be used for in class imbalance problems

Published: October 2020

In this work, a new type of self-powered, high-performance ultra-thin p-Si/n-ZnO nanowire (NW) flexible photodetector (PD) and its application as full-spectrum optical sensor and pyroelectric nanogenerator (PENG) are demonstrated. The working mechanism of PDs for PENGs is carefully investigated and systematically analyzed. The self-powered PDs exhibit high responsivity (1200 mA/W), high detectivity (1013 Jones) and fast response (τr = 18 μs, τf = 25 μs) under UV illumination. High and stable short-circuit output currents at each wavelength from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) demonstrates that the device can realize full-spectrum optical communication. An experiment in which the PENG powers other devices is designed to further demonstrate the proposed working mechanism. This work provides an effective approach to realize self-powered, high-performance PDs for full-spectrum communication. Also, the fabrication of the PENG utilizing a simple and low-cost method shows its potential applications in self-powered flexible electronic devices.
