Published: June 2019

Automotive commercial advertising is an advertisement that is often aired on television. As one of the countries with the largest automotive vehicle consumers in Asia, many advertisements are issued by motor vehicle manufacturers so that the products they offer are purchased by the public. This paper will discuss how the existing advertisement structure displays signs that are effective and efficient so that with a short duration, an advertisement can provide a lot of information. The problems discussed in this paper are what the role of the icon, index, and symbol in the automotive advertisements that are broadcasted on television. The data source in this paper uses advertisements data from Yamaha and Honda motorcycles. The research method in this paper uses the Peirce semiotic method that discusses the icon, index, and symbol in the advertisement. The method used in presenting the results of the analysis is formal and informal methods.
Разработка ЯМР-релаксометра для определения динамики намагниченности протонов воды живых тканей и его использование для оценки возрастных изменений
Authors: Неронов Ю.И. , Косенков Д.Д.
Published: June 2019

AbstractA desktop NMR relaxometer was created, which allows determining spin–spin relaxation times of water protons in living tissues. Spin relaxation times of protons of water reflect changes in the mean number of paramagnetic centers, since the presence of these centers increases the magnetization recovery rate of water protons in living tissues tens of times. In particular, this method allowed observing age-related changes (sarcopenia) related to substitution of connective tissue for muscle fibers. Relaxometers of this type are comfortable to use and are promising devices for analysis and diagnostics of changes and disorders of metabolic processes.
Метод лазерной колорации в экспериментах по филаментации одиночных импульсов и образованию световых пуль в однородных прозрачных диэлектриках

Published: June 2019

AbstractThe advantages of using the method of laser coloration for investigation of specific features of filamentation in homogeneous transparent dielectrics are described. The results of several experiments conducted with a lithium fluoride crystal by this method are presented. The possibility is shown of obtaining data on the structure of the light field in a filament formed by a single laser pulse and processing them at a substantially later time after the experiment, which is not available by using other methods, allowed observing a plasma-free regime of filamentation, detecting single-cycle light bullets, and demonstrating their robustness.
Люминесцентные и нелинейно-оптические свойства боратов LnGa-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=-(BO-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=-)-=SUB=-4-=/SUB=- (Ln = Nd, Sm, Tb, Er, Dy, Ho)

Published: June 2019

AbstractLuminescence spectra of single crystals of rare-earth gallium borates LnGa_3(BO_3)_4 (Ln = Nd, Sm, Tb, Er, Dy, or Ho) at room (300 K) and cryogenic (10 K) temperatures are presented for the first time. Photoluminescence has been recorded in the wavelength range of 470–5000 nm (2000–21 300 cm^–1) with a high spectral resolution (down to 0.1 cm^–1) upon excitation by different diode lasers. The spectra obtained cannot be unambiguously interpreted within one luminescent center, which can be due to the presence of defects and/or inclusions of other crystalline phases. The optical nonlinearity of rare-earth–gallium borates has been estimated using the Kurtz–Perry powder technique. The typical intensities of the second-harmonic generation in gallium borate powders are 30–40 (with respect to quartz), and the optical nonlinearity is as good as the nonlinearity of the efficient rare-earth aluminum borate YAl_3(BO_3)_4.

This review aimed to investigate the suitability of therapy derived from Cognitive-Behavioural perspective to be applied as an intervention to treat depressive symptoms in women with dating violence experiences. As this will become a preliminary study to be conducted in Indonesia, a review literature method was employed to gather relevant and up-to-date materials on the topic. Firstly, the issue of dating violence and its urgency in Indonesia were described in the introduction section. In the discussion section, Cognitive-Behavioural perspective and the therapy derived from it, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was described and elaborated in detail. In general, CBT approach was effective in reducing depressive symptoms in women with intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences. As dating violence also belonged to IPV cluster, it is expected that CBT would also become an effective treatment to treat depression in women with dating violence experiences.
Komodo Dragon Attacks: The Changing of Human and Environment Relations
Authors: Sudibyo Dian Lintang
Published: June 2019

This paper discusses the issue of Komodo Dragon attacks on humans from an anthropological perspective. Wild animal attacks are often regarded as a result of human-wildlife ecological conflict. Humans, in their pursuit of economic expansion, often sacrifice the habitat of fauna, resulting in disturbances to food chain stability in the local ecosystem. It has been said that due to the increased difficulty of finding prey as a result, predators turn to humans instead, which is not part of the natural food chain. However, this research (based on observations on Rinca Island, Komodo National Park in 2013) finds that this explanation is not always correct. In the case of Komodo National Park, a conservation area primarily established to secure the availability of Komodo Dragon prey, the fact that there are still cases of dragons attacking humans throws weight against the idea that dragons are merely supplementing their natural diet. Rather, this paper argues that these attacks come as a result of the creation of spaces that changes the human relationship with the natural environment.
Redefining the Success of Education: Where Indonesia Has Excelled and Where It Has Not
Authors: Wijaya Henry
Published: June 2019

How do we define the state of Indonesia’s national education? On one hand, Indonesian students have always performed lamentably in international standardized tests. In the latest 2015 PISA test, their performance in Science, Mathematics, and Reading was among the lowest, with the average ranking of 62 out of the 70 participating countries (OECD, 2016). On the other hand, Indonesia’s enrollment rates for primary education have always been higher than 97% for the past decade (Statistics Indonesia, 2018), with the Gross Enrollment Ratio even reaching 103.45% in 2016 (World Bank, 2016). With such polarizing results, it is not easy to give a clear-cut answer to above question. However, in retrospect, should the success of Indonesia’s education be measured merely by numbers, in isolation from how it could socioculturally and politically impacted its citizens? Multiple societal tensions, as well as the looming 2019 election, should actually inform us how education should and could play a larger role in countering currently growing conservatism. This paper will first lay out multiple facets of Indonesia’s national education—examining whether one area has fared better than the others—before making a case for the other role that Indonesia’s education policy has not yet pondered, let alone incorporated. Ultimately, this paper expects to contribute to the wider discussion of the overarching question: how the success of national education should be (re-)defined.

Published: June 2019

Background: Postpartum period is a period where a woman has a great motivation to use a contraceptive. The present data showed that the use of IUD was only about 7,75% of all mixed contraceptive use. Counseling carried out during the antenatal care period continued during early labor is believed be able to increase its acceptance. Objective: To compare the effect of antenatal counseling continued during the early labor versus counseling in the early labor only on the acceptance of postpartum IUD use.Method: The study was carried out in Sardjito Hospital and several Puskesmas in the province of Yogyakarta during six months period from January to June 2015. A non-randomized controlled trial (quasi experimental design) was used. Pregnant women meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria that are counseled during their antenatal visit continued during their early labor were assigned as the exposed group. Those who are counseled during the early labor only were assigned to the control group. Counseling was done using a specific designed card introduced by BKKBN. The main outcome of interest is the real insertion of postpartum IUD. Chi square test, relative risk and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Result and Discussion: A total of 144 subjects were recruited consisting of 72 subjects as the exposed group and 72 as the control. Both groups were comparable in terms of age, parity, education, mode of delivery, and history of previous IUD use. The rate of IUD insertion on the exposed group was 52.8% compared to 26.4% in the control (RR 2.00; 95% CI 1.28-3.12). Other factors contributing to the acceptance of postpartum IUD were mode of delivery and previous IUD use. Logistic regression showed that the most dominant factor contributing to the acceptance of postpartum IUD was history of previous IUD use, (OR 8,42; 95% CI 1,68–42,27) followed by mode of delivery (OR 4.96; 95% CI 1.86–13.26), while timing of counseling was the third (RR 2.93; 95% CI 1.36–6.32).Conclusion: Counseling carried out during ANC continued in the period of early labor increased significantly the acceptance of postpartum IUD. Other factors contributing to the acceptance of IUD use were history of previous IUD use and mode of delivery.Key words: Postpartum IUD; Time of Counseling; Antenatal Care; Rate of Acceptance; IUD pasca salin; waktu konseling

Authors: Komedi Arif , J Hari Kusnanto , Istiono Wahyudi
Published: June 2019

Background: Tuberculosis or TB is still a public health problem that poses a global challenge. The spread of this disease through droplets of people who have been infected with tuberculosis bacilli. The incidence of TB transmission is around 5-15%. The TB Control Program in a national strategy is directed toward universal access to quality TB services, this can be achieved by involving all health-care facilities. Public-Private Mix / PPM (the collaboration between government services and private services) is the inclusion of all health service facilities in an effort to expand TB services and TB program continuity with a comprehensive approach. Uncomplicated management of pulmonary tuberculosis must be resolved by doctors who work in health centers/clinics from starting to make clinical diagnoses to managing the disease independently and thoroughly.Objectives: This research is to find out the implementation, obstacles to the implementation of DOTS strategy TB treatment at an independent practice physician in Kebumen Regency, and the form of a collaborative pattern of DOTS strategy TB treatment between independent practice doctors and health centers as a form of collaboration in Public-Private Mix.Methods: This research is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach. Samples were taken by purposive sampling from puskesmas and health department. The total sample of 25 respondents consisted of 4 independent practice doctors, and from the puskesmas consisted of 5 puskesmas heads, 5 TB officers, 5 TB management officers, 3 Health Office officials, and 3 TB patients. Results: Most independent doctors diagnose based on clinical symptoms of TB and a small portion supported by chest X-ray. All puskesmas have implemented TB management with the DOTS strategy, but the results of TB program achievements are still low. This is because the number of suspected TBs is still low. Puskesmas need networks to find TB suspects. One solution is to form a collaboration scheme between puskesmas and independent practice doctors to improve TB management.Conclusion: The mapping of the implementation and barriers of TB DOTS and the solution to the scheme are in the form of collaboration between puskesmas and independent doctors in the form of PPM (Public Private Mix).
Physical Activity as a “Cheapest Health Tax Payment” Toward Better Health for All
Authors: Ernawati Ernawati
Published: June 2019

Indonesia currently faces many health-related problems, both in terms of increased morbidity and mortality due to infectious and non-communicable diseases, which stem from increasing unhealthy behaviors. The progress of science and technology is still not able to overcome this dilemma. Another problem is that actual health financing is already very good for helping communities with the existence of National Health Insurance. But over time it turned out that many obstacles appeared that could disrupt its sustainability. This becomes a serious problem that must be well thought out for the community so that people are not harmed. All of these problems arise as a result of the majority of people who have not been actively involved in prevention activities. Most of our society has behaviors that do not support health, but they engage in inactivity that is actually detrimental to health.

Published: June 2019

Background: The World Health Organization’s recommendation for infant feeding is exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months followed by semi-solid food.  The purpose of the study is to analyse determinant factors related to low exclusive breastfeeding’s practice in the urban slum community of Surabaya.  Methods: This is a qualitative study with a case study in one of the urban slum areas of Surabaya. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) with mothers, interviews with key-informants; posyandu cadre and the community leader for validation. Ishikawa diagram tool was used to identify and categorize determinant factors. The Urgency, Seriousness, Growth (USG) method was used to prioritize factors.Results: There are 9 determinant factors categorized into 5 categories; two ‘main’ factors, three ‘method’ factors, two ‘material’ factors, one ‘money’ factor and one ‘environment’ factor. The one factor that was considered the priority to be resolved is from the environment factor that is local beliefs of breastfeeding and expressed breast milk.Discussions and Conclusions: Education of mothers about expressed breast milk is an initial step to overcome low exclusive breastfeeding’s practice in this community due to mothers having to work outside the house. There is also a need for strengthening support groups so working mothers continuously exclusive breastfeed and provide optimal nutrition for infants.

Published: June 2019

Despite of arterial hypertension high prevalence and its complications in Mongolia, the epidemiology and structure of hypertension-mediated organ damage remains insufficiently studied. Aim. To assess elaboration level of the problem of AH-associated hypertension-mediated organ damage in Mongolia. Materials and methods. Leading international guidelines and recommendations, reviews, meta-analyzes, randomized controlled, population-based research and Mongolian scientific papers with different evidential value, related to hypertension-mediated organ damage were analyzed. Results and discussion. In developed countries, hypertension-mediated organ damage structure and their contribution to total cardiovascular risk stratification in patients with hypertension is well studied. In 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension hypertension-mediated organ damage criteria were only slightly extended. Data on arterial hypertension epidemiology, including hypertension-mediated organ damage structure, in Mongolian population, mainly obtained from ethnic Mongols living in the territory of Inner Mongolia and other provinces of China, or in international studies with Mongolia participation. Directly in Mongolia, hypertension-mediated organ damage were studied in small samples; a systemic epidemiological analysis of hypertension-mediated organ damage was not carried out. Conclusions. Given arterial hypertension significance in Mongolia and insufficient scientific elaboration of problem, population studies are needed to clarify hypertension-mediated organ damage prevalence and structure in order for improving arterial hypertension management.

Published: June 2019

Today, the clouding of the lens is one of the common pathology of the organ of vision. The clouding of the lens-cataract is one of the most common causes of blindness and low vision in children and adults. According to most authors, the main method of cataract treatment is surgical. In modern cataract surgery, the leading place is occupied by the most common cataract extraction method, phacoemulsification. The modern level of phacoemulsification technology made it possible to perform operations less traumatic, gave a full restoration of visual functions. It makes no sense to talk about the indications of IOL implantation, since Currently, there is a wide range of IOL models that can be implanted for all types of complicated cataracts. It is advisable to talk about contraindications, in this case, the surgeon makes a decision based on the material capabilities, experience, and perfection of the surgical technique. There are various associated syndromes in the development of cataracts. One of the syndromes that occurs in cataracts is the pseudo-excoliation syndrome. This review addresses the unresolved issues of pseudoexfoliation syndrome. The results of studies of some scientists, data analysis, clinical cases and ways to solve this problem are considered. In particular, a number of questions remain about the tactics of patient administration before and after surgical interventions. This syndrome, as far as we know, affects the development and outcome of the disease. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose pseudo-excoliation syndrome at an early stage, sometimes contradictory statements about the initial appearance of the syndrome are encountered. The issues of prevention of postoperative complications, less traumatic surgical approaches at various stages of PES remain open.

Published: June 2019

Aims: The problem of effective treatment of HIV-infected patients is an important task of clinical virology and immunology due to the high cost of drugs, the presence of side effects and the need for strict adherence to the schedule of drug intake for patients. Therefore, the urgent task is to develop new approaches to optimize the use of antiretroviral therapy to reduce the cost of treatment and to improve the quality of life for patients. The tasks are addressed to test the hypothesis that the system of therapeutic interruptions in the treatment of HIV infection can give better results (both the duration and comfort of the patient’s life, and the need for fewer drugs) compared with regular medication in standard doses. Methods: In this work, an extended version of the mathematical model of the immune response in HIV infection (proposed in Hadjiandreou et al., 2009) was constructed to take into account the hormonal regulation of the immune response and the impact of antiretroviral drugs on the course of the disease, the calibration of the parameters of the resulting model to match the actual trends of the disease and the search for an optimal treatment strategy. The model is formulated as a system of ordinary differential equations. The therapy optimization is modeled following the structured treatment interruptionapproach using the methods of simulated annealing and the simplex method. The mathematical model and optimization methods are implemented in C ++. Results: It has been shown that in treating HIV-infected patients, it is possible to significantly (up to 3 times) reduce the total amount of required medications simultaneously with an increase in the duration of the period with a high quality of life (due to reducing the intensity of side effects) during antiretroviral therapy. Conclusion: The use of mathematical models and optimization methods opens up the possibility for the implementation of personalized approaches to the treatment of HIV infection, taking into account the side effects, the hormonal status of patients and the cost of drugs.
Symbolic (image) capital of Perm region cities: semantic approach to assessment of quality of the urban environment
Authors: Stolbov Vyacheslav A. , Tezhikova Ekaterina Yu.
Published: June 2019

An important role in the development of the territory is the ability to identify its unique features and form a positive image of the place. Semantic analysis of urban space allows to solve the problem: to find attractive and unattractive features of the city and to give recommendations on creation of a unique brand of the territory. The study is based on the results of a survey of students of Perm universities: showing their attitude to a particular city and the idea of an ideal urban space. Opinions of respondents were distributed on a 3-point scale of diametrically opposite qualitative characteristics of the urban environment, for example, compact - extensive, bright - dim, etc. In addition, the population assessed the urbanized spaces of the Perm Territory on the basis of its cognitive perception by other senses (the categories “taste”, “color”, “sound”, “smell”). Semantic analysis allowed to form an idea about the cities of Perm Krai as relatively comfortable and positive, but not enough bright, clean, friendly and green places. Other parameters of the urban environment were identified, which made it possible to give recommendations on the formation of a favorable image (brand) of urban settlements in the Perm Territory. The attraction of the population to a much green, clean and quiet urban space demonstrates the trend of greening and ruralization of citizens. Semantic analysis allows to give a subjective assessment of the place and to indicate the prospects of increasing its symbolic capital, using diametrically opposed characteristics of the territory. A positive feature of the technique is the possibility of its application to each territory.

Authors: Fokina Olga V. , Chirkova Elena V.
Published: June 2019

According to the adopted Federal Law No. 273-FZ of December 29, 2012 (as amended on June 27, 2013) “On Education in the Russian Federation”, preschool education is the first level of the educational process. Precisely in a preschool children, for the first time, ideas about the surrounding world are formed, a system of values, as well as knowledge and skills, that can only be corrected but not radically changed. Numerous studies have shown that, thanks to investments in the early development of man, tremendous results can be obtained in the future through the formation of national human capital, which is the basis of the country’s innovative development. However, in modern theory and practice of management in the field of education, there is no universal mechanism responsible for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of management. Questions about the criteria, methods, indicators of this assessment and, as a result, the problem of improving the methodology for managing human capital have not been resolved. The article provides an analysis of the state of affairs in the management of the activities of preschool educational institutions and gives recommendations on improving innovative management activities in the field of preschool education, as well as a three-phase methodology of estimation of the effectiveness and efficiency of preschool education in the interests of Russia’s innovative development with appropriate approbation of the results.

Authors: Shcherbakov Gleb V.
Published: June 2019

The Laffer curve is the eternal problem of mathematical economics. Attempts to find the Laffer curve functions lead to new results that do not give the function in coordinates “tax burden - tax revenues” but give results in larger dimensions. Purpose of the article is developing tools to access the excessive tax burden on organizations. The general methods used in the article are analysis, generalization, synthesis. Special methods are mathematical induction, mathematical methods. In the study previously proposed mathematical models of Laffer curves by V.G. Papava (Ananiashvili, Papava, 2010) and E.V. Balatskii (Balatskii, 2000) are generalized and clarified. Taxation limit concept is expanded and necessity of determining the lower taxation limit is shown. The new approach to determining the values of Laffer points based on the use of tax burden and current assets turnover ratio is proposed. The determination of taxpayers’ acceptance power (in meaning “exponent”) is introduced and the property linking it with area of fiscal contradictions is shown. The constancy of the location of the first and second kind Laffer points is proved. Conditions limiting the sets of values of Laffer points are given. As a result the concept of the area of fiscal contradictions is divided with concepts of Laffer curves and Laffer points.

Published: June 2019

The main approaches to understanding the essence of “stability of banking system” are conducted in the article. The basic principles are also given, inherent in a stable banking system. Further, the main factors affecting the stability of the banking system are considered. The article determined the components of ensuring the assessment of the bank’s financial stability. The basic principles of effective banking supervision are the actual minimum standard for prudent regulation and supervision of banks and banking systems. Initially issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 1997, they are used by countries as a guide to assess the quality of their surveillance systems and to determine future work towards achieving a basic level of rational oversight practices. The core principles are also used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in the context of the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) to assess the effectiveness of banking supervisory systems and country practices.

Published: June 2019

This paper aims to investigate the students’ perception about the effectiveness of teaching English at Universitas Teuku Umar from non-English major students. Data were collected from the students of six faculties: Economics, Social and Political Science, Fisheries and Marine Science, Engineering, and Agriculture. A number of 120 participants were selected from each faculty by using the random sampling technique. The instruments used included questionnaire and interview guide. The data were analyzed qualitatively following four effective learning criteria; material, learning method, learning motivation, and classroom management. The results showed that (1) some students were still disstatisfied with the materials given since they were hard, (2) the teaching methods used did not stimulate the students to learn English well, (3) some students did not like learning English because they could not speak like native speakers, and (4) the lecturers paid little attention towards the students’ questions and rarely did they give rewards to their students such as praising for students’ achievement. Further, the students’ obstacles in learning English included lack of vocabulary, problem in pronunciation, and grammar difficulty.

Authors: Amiruddin Amiruddin
Published: June 2019

This study was conducted to investigate errors in oral performance among the third year English Education Department students of UIN Ar-Raniry. It was aimed at two folds of research objectives. First, it sought to investigate the most frequently-committed error of the third year English Education Department students of UINAr-Raniry. Second, it attempted to identify the causes of students’ errors in their oral performance. This study employed qualitative research methods. The participants of this study were 20 students registering in Public Speaking Course. To investigate the students’ errors, a speaking test was used as a research instrument. The test was in the form of individual speaking performance on a topic of “Do we need native speakers in our Tarbiyah Faculty?” The participants were required to speak about the issue, which lasted for 10 minutes each. 20 oral performances were transcribed to enable the analysis of the errors. To analyze the student’s oral performance errors, the content analysis was used. This process was followed by analyzing the different aspects of language: grammar, pronunciation, and categories of error causes in communication. The results revealed that puzzling vowel insertion was the most commonly committed error (316/62.7%) compared to shifts in tense (10/2.0%), word order (19/3.8%), subject verb agreement (14/2.8%), and case of referent (15/3%). These errors were identified to have been caused by interlanguage factor. In an effort to respond to these compelling issues in the students’ speaking performance, lecturers who teach English at the University are required to give their maximum attention in order to improve their students’ oral performance.

Published: June 2019

Students’ motivation contributes to the successful teaching learning process as it determines self-engagement and participations in the classroom. Encouraging students’ motivation, then, becomes important for the teacher to achieve the teaching goal and to provide a meaningful learning process for the students. This research is aimed to discuss responsive pedagogy in encouraging students’ motivation to learn and participate in classroom learning process. One English speaking class becomes the object of the observation. The interviews with the teacher and some students were also part of data collection in order to obtain information about the students’ motivation in learning English speaking, teacher’s teaching strategy, and classroom interactions. The findings indicate that classroom activities are crucial in motivating students’ responsive learning. In addition, the teacher’s competency in creating a conducive environment and leading an interactive communication are the ways of the teacher influence students’ motivation in learning process.
Corporate law, board practices and value creation: Spanish evidence

Published: June 2019

Previous research suggests that boards of directors influence firm performance due to their role in activities such as strategic design and its implementation. From this perspective, many corporate governance researchers have tried to demonstrate empirically the impact of board characteristics on firm performance in different contexts. In this context, the objective of this work is to disclosure proven relationships between board governance variables and firm performance based on an analysis of relevant studies in Spain. Before a review of the relevant literature, we provide a legal overview of Spanish corporations and an analysis of corporate board practice in Spain (paying special attention to the composition of the boards of directors, the duality of the CEO and Chairman, gender diversity on boards and directors with multiple directorships). Following this, the analysis of the literature was carried out. The results show that in the majority of studies independent directors and CEO/Chairman duality have no relationship with firm performance. However, the proportion of women on the board of directors does show a positive relationship with firm performance. For the variable busy director, no conclusion can be established because the evidence found is scarce. We can conclude, therefore, that as a result of the inconclusive results as well as the scarcity of the study of some aspects for this field of study, further research on the relationship between the board and firm performance is necessary in the Spanish context.
Sonoqualia 2.0
Authors: Concha García
Published: June 2019

Sonoqualia is a project aimed at people with visual impairment, whose main objective is the creation of sound artistic experiences linked to pictorial works housed in museums of the city of Madrid. The name (Sono-qualia) refers to the subjective qualities of the sounds we feel and perceive each one of us, so its intention is far from objective criteria translators of visual material in sound material. Pictorial works are the frames of reference from which the spaces and sound experiences are created. The audio-descriptions offered by museums, understood as descriptive narratives of the elements put in relation in the pictures, are the starting point of the project, conceived as a 5-week workshop in which the participants work in groups, assisted by technicians who facilitate them the access to sound-composition software. Sonoqualia focuses on the construction, enrichment and communication of the mental images of the participants, generated from these descriptive narratives, understood as internal representations shaped from our multimodal experiences, in which all the senses intervene. Various elements are used for this purpose, such as symbolic values and emotional meanings of the sounds daily used in our interpersonal and environmental relationships; the sound imagination, which has the capacity of development, sophistication and complexity; previous sound experiences or "sonorous culture", variable in each participant, but enriched when shared and put together; sound material chosen simply by "as it sounds", i.e. by aesthetic criteria... The result is the creation of sound pieces with a duration around 2 minutes. This project has been the beneficiary of an aid for the artistic creation of the city Council of Madrid 2017 and so far, two editions of it have been made.

Some tasks require identification of landmarks in districts beyond the reach of existing optical observation facilities. The accuracy of their determination significantly affects the effectiveness of the use necessary equipment during the task. In the paper an algorithm to determine the object parameters using a flying platform is offered. An observation point is installed which is equipped with a navigation system to solve this task. This ensures its orientation and positioning. From the observation point an aerial observation point is displayed. It is suggested to use a flying platform. The coordinates of the flying platform are determined relative to the observation point, the coordinates of the landmarks are determined relative to the flying platform. The mathematical model of the estimation error determination of object coordinates with the help of a flying platform is proposed. The analysis of errors in determining the parameters of the object using a flying platform is conducted. Analysis of the results of mathematical modeling is conducted using the package of applications Mathcad. The dependence of these parameters on the relative position of the observation point, platforms and object is examined. It is shown that the main contribution to the error of determining the coordinates of the landmark is given by the errors of determining the observation point location and measuring the range. An analytical correlation is obtained, which allows to estimate the errors of determining the coordinates of the landmark using the flying platform with known errors in determining the observation point coordinates and the range determination of the range finder.

This research is motivated by self-disclosure and adjustment of some students on XI grade class of Madrasah Aliyah Madania Bantul Yogyakarta which is quite low. This study aims to improve self-disclosure and self-adjustment of learners through group counseling with a person centered approach This research uses the type of action research conducted in three cycles using Kemmis and Taggart model. Each cycle consists of four stages, planning, action, observation and reflection. The subjects of this study are students on Xi grade class of Madrasah Aliyah Madania Bantul Yogyakarta who have low  self-disclosure and self-adjustment that amounted to 5 people. The results showed that group counseling with person centered approach can improve self-disclosure and adaptation students of grade XI in Madrasah Aliyah Madania Bantul Yogyakarta. This increase has been proven through research in each group, namely: (1) in group A, the number of subjects who have high self-disclosure in the 1st cycle is  40%, and getting increased in 2nd  cycle to 80%, while the number of subjects who have high self-adjustment in 1st cycle is 40%, in 2nd cycle is 60%, and getting increased in 3rd cycle to 80%. (2) in group B the number of subjects who have high self-disclosure in 1st cycle is 20%, 2nd cycle is 40% and getting increased in 3rd cycle to 80%, while for the number of subjects who have adjusted in the cycle is 40%, 60% and increased in 3rd cycle as much as 80%. The results are also reinforced through observations that show that learners have been able to communicate, express themselves and fit in well. From the interviews, learners admit that group counseling activities can improve the ability to express themselves, adjust to other people and feel helpful in solving problems.
