Published: July 2018

Kebutuhan Teknologi Informasi (TI) didalam institusi pendidikan menjadi kebutuhan yang sangat mutlak di saat ini.  Kebutuhan Teknologi Informasi juga menjadi peranan penting untuk meningkatkan kinerja institusi pendidikan khususnya di Institut Teknologi Telkom Purwokerto (ITTP). Peranan IT Balanced Scorecard menjadi keunggulan tersendiri demi tercapainya visi misi ITTP sebagai kampus yang sangat mengedepankan TI baik itu di dalam  kinerja manajemen dan pendidikan. Keunggulan IT Balanced Scorecard salah satunya adalah mendukung IT Governance, ini sangat diperlukan institusi untuk dapat menciptakan adanya sebuah keselarasan bisnis dan teknologi informasi demi mewujudkan continuous improvement ITTP. Permasalahan di ITTP saat ini dalam hal kegiatan perencanaan kinerja TI belum mengacu atau berpedoman ke sebuah standar tertentu. Kondisi yang terjadi sekarang adalah masing-masing unit/bagian merumuskan kebutuhan mereka secara subjektif dan tanpa pertimbangan khususnya di bagian IT Support. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang IT Balanced Scorecard yang nantinya akan digunakan untuk mengukur kinerja IT ITTP. Penelitian ini dimulai dengan menganalisa visi misi dan strategi yang didasarkan dari renstra ITTP dan menganalisis SWOT IT yang ada di ITTP untuk mengetahui kondisi saat ini. Kemudian penulis menganalisis matriks TOWS untuk mengetahui strategi dan KPI terbaik untuk ITTP kedepannya.  Untuk membangun sasaran strategis dan strategy maps yang tepat, penulis mengacu kepada renstra ITTP agar terciptanya keselarasan bisnis dan IT. Langkah selanjutnya adalah dengan memetakan KPI hasil dari analisa matriks TOWS ke dalam sasaran strategi yang sudah dibentuk, sehingga IT Balanced Scorecard dapat terbentuk.  Keobjektivitasan penelitian sangat mutlak diperlukan dalam membangun IT Balanced Scorecard sehingga penelitian pada studi kasus ini dapat menghasilkan 12 sasaran strategis dan menghasilkan 20 KPI yang  akan digunakan sebagai ukuran kinerja IT Balanced Scorecard. Kata Kunci : IT Balanced Scorecard, IT Governance, SWOT, strategy maps
Analisis Implementasi Prinsip Non-Diskriminasi dalam Peraturan Daerah di Bidang Pendidikan dan Kesehatan
Authors: Rini Nicken Sarwo
Published: July 2018

Pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dapat terjadi melalui undang-undang yang materi muatan/ substansinya bersifat diskriminatif (mengandung pembatasan, pelecehan, pengucilan yang langsung ataupun tidak langsung didasarkan pembedaan manusia atas dasar agama, suku, ras, etnik, kelompok golongan, status sosial, status ekonomi, jenis kelamin, bahasa, keyakinan politik). Tulisan ini hendak menguraikan dua bagian yaitu: pertama, gambaran pengelompokan bentuk diskriminasi khususnya bagi kelompok rentan terhadap pemajuan hak pendidikan dan hak kesehatan; kedua, analisis berbasis HAM terhadap beberapa peraturan daerah provinsi tentang penyelenggaran pendidikan dan kesehatan. Adapun kesimpulan dalam tulisan ini adalah terdapat tiga bentuk basis diskriminasi yaitu: ekonomi, agama/ keyakinan, dan status sosial. Berdasarkan analisis HAM, materi muatan peraturan daerah provinsi tidak mengatur secara spesifik bagaimana pemerintah menjamin dan memastikan bahwa kelompok rentan dapat mengakses hak atas pendidikan dan kesehatannya tanpa hambatan, kemudian tidak diatur juga mengenai mekanisme pengaduan terkait dengan pelanggaran HAM tersebut. Pada dasarnya implementasi penerapan prinsip non-diskriminasi esensinya adalah harus melindungi tindakan yang menentang adanya diskriminasi, hal tersebut dapat terwujud apabila didalam materi muatan/ substansi undang- undang mengatur dan memuat bahwa kelompok rentan dapat mengakses (secara fisik maupun ekonomi) hak atas pendidikan dan kesehatan tanpa hambatan dan didukung dengan adanya mekanisme pengaduan dan mekanisme gugatan untuk memperoleh keadilan ketika haknya dilanggar.

Published: July 2018

Salah satu bagian terpenting dari sebuah proses pemilu adalah peran dan partisipasi masyarakat. Pertimban- gan rasional dengan menjadi pemilih cerdas perlu terus-menerus disosialisasikan, sehingga nantinya diharap- kan dapat terpilih pemimpin dan wakil-wakil rakyat yang mempunyai integritas dan kualitas yang tinggi. Permasalahan seperti golput dan ketidaknetralan penyelenggara dalam pelaksanaan dalam acara demokrasi yang melibatkan rakyat dapat dijadikan suatu alasan akan perlunya pelibatan masyarakat dalam melakukan pengawasan dan perlindungan hak-hak warga negara untuk dipilih dan menggunakan hak pilihnya dalam Pilkada. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola Bawaslu dalam melakukan pemantauan dan penga- wasan Pilkada, mengetahui pola pelibatan masyarakat dalam melakukan pemantauan dan pengawasan Pilkada dalam perspektif hak asasi manusia, serta mengidentifikasi hambatan-hambatan dalam upaya pemantauan dan pengawasan Pilkada. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis yang akan mengungkapkan secara sistematis. Dalam struktur lembaga Bawaslu, pola pelibatan masyarakat untuk melakukan pengawasan dan pemantauan sudah sesuai dengan perspektif HAM terutama menyangkut prinsip partisipasi dan pelibatan masyarakat. Mengenai pola pelibatan masyarakat di luar struktur Bawaslu, pihak Ba- waslu menyerahkan kepada kesukarelaan masyarakat untuk menjadi pengawas dan pemantau partisipatif. Hal ini untuk menjaga independensi dan obyektifitas pengawasan dan pemantauan yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat

The thermal conductivity, flow, and thermal conductivity values were increased sequentially by increasing the weight ratio of the filler while the results of stored energy values and thermal resistance decreased by increasing the percentage of salts. The thermal mechanical analysis was used to measure thermal expansion and elasticity coefficient. The scanning electron microscopy was used to interpret the results of thermal analysis and distribution of the nanoparticle within the polymer matrix.
Enhanced Oil Recovery using Smart Water Injection
Authors: Baker Hussain Ali , Alwan Kareem A. , Fadhil Saher Faris
Published: July 2018

Smart water flooding (low salinity water flooding) was mainly invested in a sandstone reservoir. The main reasons for using low salinity water flooding are; to improve oil recovery and to give a support for the reservoir pressure.

In this study, two core plugs of sandstone were used with different permeability from south of Iraq to explain the effect of water injection with different ions concentration on the oil recovery. Water types that have been used are formation water, seawater, modified low salinity water, and deionized water.

The effects of water salinity, the flow rate of water injected, and the permeability of core plugs have been studied in order to summarize the best conditions of low salinity water flooding. The result of this experimental work shows that the water without any free ions (deionized water) and modified low salinity water have improved better oil recovery than the formation water and seawater as a secondary oil process. The increase in oil recovery factor related to the wettability alteration during low salinity water flooding which causes a decrease in the interfacial tension between the crude oil in porous media and the surface of reservoir rocks. As well as the dissolution of minerals such as calcite Ca+2 was observed in this work, which causes an increase in the pH value. All these factors led to change the wettability of rock to be more water-wet, so the oil recovery can be increased.

Published: July 2018

In this study, the use of non-thermal plasma theory to remove toxic gases emitted from a vehicle was experimentally investigated. A non-thermal plasma reactor was constructed in the form of a cylindrical tube made of Pyrex glass. Two stainless steel rods were placed inside the tube to generate electric discharge and plasma condition, by connecting with a high voltage power supply (up to 40 kV). The reactor was used to remove the contaminants of a 1.25-liter 4-cylinder engine at ambient conditions. Several tests have been carried out for a ranging speed from 750 to 4,500 rpm of the engine and varying voltages from 0 to 32 kV. The gases entering the reactor were examined by a gas analyzer and the gases concentration ratio are recorded in the inlet of the reactor and after they are released from the reactor after the chemical processes associated with the electric discharge applied to the gases inside the reactor. As a final result, convergent removal rates of gases were obtained but under different conditions, the best ratios were: NOx 72.32% (at a rotational speed of 3500 rpm and an applied voltage of 25kV, HC 69.46% (at 1500 rpm and 30kV, CO 66.66% (at 3000 rpm and a range of voltage from 25 to 32kV) and CO2 72.44% (at 3500 rpm and 27 kV).

Authors: Al-Zuhairi Alaa H. , Taj Ali I.
Published: July 2018

The main aim of this research paper is investigating the effectiveness and validity of Meso-Scale Approach (MSA) as a modern technique for the modeling of plain concrete beams. Simply supported plain concrete beam was subjected to two-point loading to detect the response in flexural. Experimentally, a concrete mix was designed and prepared to produce three similar standard concrete prisms for flexural testing. The coarse aggregate used in this mix was crushed aggregate. Numerical Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted on the same concrete beam using the meso-scale modeling. The numerical model was constructed to be a bi-phasic material consisting of cement mortar and coarse aggregate. The interface between the two consisting materials was assumed fully bonded interface. In the ABAQUS program, the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was employed for the treatment of the discontinuity problems, which is accompanied by cracking during the fracture process of plain concrete. The behavior and response of the beam in both meso-scale numerical analysis and experimental test were found in a good agreement. Another check was added by comparing the results using thin-beam theory assuming the concrete as a homogenous linear-elastic material. The result of this comparison showed that the meso-scale model analysis lies between theoretical and experimental models.

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Expanded Pipe using Rigid Conical Shape
Authors: Razooqi Ahmed Ibrahim
Published: July 2018

The experimental and numerical analysis was performed on pipes suffering large plastic deformation through expanding them using rigid conical shaped mandrels, with three different cone angles (15◦, 25◦, 35◦) and diameters (15, 17, 20) mm. The experimental test for the strain results investigated the expanded areas. A numerical solution of the pipes expansion process was also investigated using the commercial finite element software ANSYS. The strains were measured for each case experimentally by stamping the mesh on the pipe after expanding, then compared with Ansys results. No cracks were generated during the process with the selected angles. It can be concluded that the strain decreased with greater angles of conical shape and an increase in expansion ratio results in an increase of expansion force and a decrease in the pipe thickness and length resulting in pipe thinning and shortening. Good agreement is evident between experimental and ANSYS results within discrepancy (16.90017%) in the X direction and (27.68698%) in the Y direction. Also, the stress distribution is investigated and it can be concluded that the case of Diameter (Do cone) = 35mm and (A) = α = 15° is the optimum.

Published: July 2018

The world beyond Superstrings describes a world with dimensions smaller than Planck length (1.616229 x 10-35 [m] ). Since 1971 Superstrings within the dimensions of the Planck length have been considered the building elements for elementary particles . The question rises: What are Superstrings made of? What is the building material for Superstrings. What are the 10 dimensions? This book offers an attempt to find new answers beyond unknown borders.To find the new unknown boundaries we have to go back in time. Because when we start with the same mathematical equations, the same knowledge, the same procedures, we will always find the same outcome, the same answers. And soon we will believe that there is only one outcome. The only outcome within the Standard Model where we will find the same elementary particles grounded on the same Superstring Theory.

The importance of post-publication peer review (PPPR) as a type of knowledge exchange has been emphasized by several authorities in research publishing, yet biomedical journals do not always facilitate this type of publication. Here we report our experience publishing a commentary intended to offer constructive feedback on a previously published article. We found that publishing our comment required more time and effort than foreseen, because of obstacles encountered at some journals. Using our professional experience as authors’ editors and our knowledge of publication policies as a starting point, we reflect on the probable reasons behind these obstacles, and suggest ways in which journals could make PPPR easier. In addition, we argue that PPPR should be more explicitly valued and rewarded in biomedical disciplines, and suggest how these publications could be included in research evaluations. Eliminating obstacles and disincentives to PPPR is essential in light of the key roles of post-publication analysis and commentary in drawing attention to shortcomings in published articles that were overlooked during pre-publication peer review.

This paper reports an exploratory case-study introducing a new method to quantify children’s social interactions during unstructured outdoor play. Movements of 18 children were tracked using wearable sensors over 20 sessions of outdoor play at school. Sessions were divided between two play conditions: Baseline; the usual play environment and Intervention; in which a playground intervention was implemented. Sensor data were used to build a network representing the social interactions that took place each day. Questionnaire-based measures of social and communication skills were completed by teachers, and peer nomination was used as a child-based measure of social skills.Social connectedness measured during outdoor play correlated positively with peer preference measures but not with teacher reported social skills. Social connectedness averaged over the 10 days of each play condition was not sensitive to between-condition differences. Findings are discussed qualitatively with reflections on measurement issues, implementation and ethics.
Telling apart motor noise from exploratory behaviour, in early development
Authors: Gliga Teodora
Published: July 2018

Infant’s minutes long babbling bouts or energetic reaching for or mouthing of whatever they can get their hands on gives very much the impression of active exploration, a building block for early learning. But how can we tell active exploration from the activity of an immature motor system, attempting but failing to achieve goal directed behaviour? I will focus here on evidence that infants actively increase motor activity and variability when faced with opportunities to gather new information. I will discuss mechanisms generating movement variability, and suggests that, in the various forms it takes, from deliberate hypothesis testing to increasing environmental variability, it could be exploited for learning. However, understanding how infant exploratory behavior contributes to learning will require more in-depth investigations of both the nature of and the contextual modulation of behavioural variability.

Economic globalization between countries becomes commonplace. Differences in financial rules are used for many parties to practice the Basic Erosion and Shifting Profit (BEPS) which leads to state losses. In tackling it has been agreed to implement Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI), which automatically converts data into large data in the field of taxation.The research method of this paper is a literature study which combines several related literature and global and national implications using secondary data.Drawing up the conclusion that AEoI challenges have been theoretically overcome by Indonesia as a developing country. However, practically mash has not been able to find out whether it can be overcome or not because Indonesia still has not implemented AEoI

Published: July 2018

The beaches of the marine coast of the Baltic Spit are composed of medium size sand. granulometric differentiation of the beach sediment is observed around the perimeter from north to south. Changes in the composition suggest the existence of the flow of sediment from north to south. Comparison of changes in the fractional composition of sediments for the period 2004–2010 shows a trend of enlargement. This is due to the cessation of flow of anthropogenic deposits into the coastal zone.

Closing the water and navigation gates, preventing flooding on the coast of the Neva Bay in St. Petersburg, causes an additional increase in the level rise and flooding of coastal areas of the Gulf of Finland to the west from the complex of protection constructions (CPC). The magnitude of this flooding and its distribution along the coast have not been investigated. There is only a model for evaluating the likely level rise caused by CPC closing.
It should be noted also that sea level rise event to the west of the dam leads to a shift of the area undergoing active wave influence in the direction of the coast. The situation is complicated by the fact that ground in this area not previously exposed to hydrodynamic forces and therefore can be easily washed out. Also due to the fact that flooding is almost always accompanied by stormy waving in flooded areas we can expect a significant morphological transformation: coastal erosion, as well as change the contour of the shore. It is planned the implementation of operational three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the coastal areas with a horizontal spatial resolution of about 100 m and variable eastern boundary, simulating the closure of the water and navigation gates, as well as built-in procedure that simulates the drying zone and flooding. As a result will be new knowledge on the effects of hydraulic constructions to the level variations during the flooding, the quantitative assessment of flooding potential areas and drying shores, GIS maps to visualize the results, developed a method for rapid prediction of flooding coasts.

Estuaries of the rivers in Bolshoi Sochi district are the most densely populated areas of the Black Sea coastline area in Russian Federation. Study of water runoff and sediment yield in the mouth of the rivers has an important role in applied science, because the frequency of dangerous hydrological processes is very high. Floods and lateral rivers erosion can leads to catastrophic emergencies.
Analysis of hydrological data and physiographic properties of the region help to make several conclusions about water runoff and sediment yield of the region rivers: average annual water and sediment runoff tends to increase, maximum flood discharges increase too.
The mouths of the rivers in Bolshoi Sochi District were classified by natural and anthropogenic factors. In the estuaries district were calculated and ploted on topographic maps flooding areas. Also in the work considered
information of the anthropogenic intervention in the natural environment of the rivers mouths.
