Authors: Muhammad Nur Khaliq , Krismadinata
Published: May 2021

Pada tulisan ini dibahas perancangan dan pembuatan dari konverter DC-DC (DC Chopper). Konverter DC–DC sendiri merupakan suatu alat yang dapat mengubah satu bentuk daya listrik searah ke bentuk daya listrik searah lainya, baik itu menurunkan atau menaikkan. Pada umumnya, rangkaian konverter terbagi atas 4 jenis yaitu buck, boost, buck-boost dan cuk. Pada pembuatan tugas akhir ini akan diracang sebuah rangkaian konverter DC-DC tipe Buck. Konverter Buck merupakan sebuah konverter yang digunakan untuk menghasilkan tegangan keluaran searah (DC) yang lebih rendah daripada tegangan masukannya. Penurunan tegangan keluaran dari konverter dilakukan dengan mengatur lebar pulsa (PWM). Pengubahan besar kecilnya PWM dilakukan dengan meggunakan komponen switching berupa MOSFET, serta penggunaan gate driver yang berfungsi sebagai penguatan sinyal dan pengaman antara rangkaian kontrol dan rangkaian utamanya. Tegangan masukan dari konverter dirancang sebesar 24 VDC, dengan tegangan keluaran 24VDC-12VDC. Keluaran dari konverter dapat dilihat melalui PC menggunakan software Visual Studio 2012. Penambahan interfacing menggunakan Visual Studio 2012 dapat memudahkan para pengguna untuk melihat keluaran dari konverter.

Authors: Sari Sari Ramadhani , Alferinanda Yuda , Asnil Asnil
Published: May 2021

Pemborosan dalam penggunaan energi listrik kini tampaknya telah menjadi kebiasaan. Seperti dalam pemakaian lampu jalan yang tetap menyala meski dalam keadaan yang tidak memerlukan penerangan menjadi salah satu kebiasaan tersebut. Dengan kebutuhan akan energi listrik yang terus meningkat, salah satu solusinya yaitu menerapkan sistem otomatis pada penerangan jalan dengan menggunakan sensor Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) dan sensor Passive Infrared Receiver (PIR) yang bertujuan agar pemakaian energi listrik dapat lebih efesien. Dalam jurnal ini penulis ingin membuat rancang bangun penerangan jalan raya berbasis arduino uno. Secara umum prinsip kerja dari alat ini adalah lampu penerangan jalan akan otomatis menyala dengan cahaya redup saat keadaan mulai gelap dengan menggunakan sensor LDR. Lampu juga akan otomatis menyala terang apabila sensor (LDR dan PIR) berhasil mendeteksi sehingga akan menampilkan informasi pada tampilan LCD. Dan jika sensor (LDR dan PIR) tidak mendeteksi apapun lampu jalan akan kembali meredup sehingga dapat menghemat pemakaian energi listrik. Hasil dari rancang bangun ini telah bekerja sesuai dengan yang direncanakan yaitu menghidupkan lampu secara otomatis menggunakan sensor Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) dan sensor Passive Infrared Receiver (PIR). Dan menampilkan informasi pada layar LCD.

Authors: M. Trye Adventor
Published: May 2021

Between September 2017 and August 2018, the author of this article applied the theory of appreciative inquiry in teaching at a faith based institution in Liberia. Appreciative Inquiry was popularized by Cooperrider in 1986. It has to do with asking positive questions following the 5Ds namely Definition, Description, Dream, Design and Destiny. This article highlighted the experiences of students who used appreciative interviews in a course Principles and Practices of Education taught at a faith based institution located in Liberia. The course was offered thrice to three different sets of students at the same university by the author of this article. While the first class had four students, the second had thirteen students and the third had eight students. Each student was asked to make use of appreciative inquiry questions to interview two veteran educators from other educational institutions in Liberia. The findings reinforced the need for the practices of quality education within and without the walls of classrooms in Liberia. The paper recommended that educators should employ the appreciative inquiry in their teaching. Hence, the combination of appreciative inquiry with cooperative learning and the integration of faith and learning could be one of alternatives in tackling the many educational challenges in the classrooms.

DETERMINERS, BARE SINGULARS, PLURALS: A PORTABLE TUTOR FOR SENTENCE GRAMMAR
Authors: Popovici Sorin
Published: May 2021

This paper is based on the assumption that a portable tutor, as a practice-based tool, can offer students ample opportunities to improve their sentence grammar. By focusing on one specific grammar issue at a time, it presents certain sentence patterns that, through repeated practice, can eventually correct that particular grammar issue, in this case, that of determiners, bare singulars, and plurals. Significantly, this study has specific implications for Assumption University students and for Thai students in general, in that it explains why people who grow up speaking a language where nouns do not have determiners will have difficulty when learning a language that has them, for instance English. The paper begins by presenting a classification of determiners followed by a detailed description of one specific type of determiner: the bare singular count noun. The study continues with the proposed research methodology consisting of the Portable Tutor development, and the Experiment’s three main components, pre-testing, “treatment” and post-testing of the participating group of students. The paper concludes with data collection and analysis, and conclusions.

Sensitivity Towards Sociocultural Plagiarism in the Context of Varied Discipline among College Students
Authors: Calicdan Lillian C. , Bacaro Rhyan Mike R. , Ramo Dennis C. , Licayan Rodrigo Jr
Published: May 2021

Socio-cultural plagiarism provides an understanding of the social values and attitudes among students in academic writing. Based on the rules and regulations of any academic institution, adequate awareness of different forms of plagiarism, citation techniques, paraphrasing, and other instances of copyright infringement should be tailored to any type of violation against conduct and discipline, particularly in cheating. A descriptive-comparative approach uses this study to measure the level of sensitivity among students towards socio-cultural plagiarism in terms of awareness, attitude, socio-cultural beliefs, and perception. Applying Slovin's formula, the respondents were identified using a simple random sampling technique. The results revealed that the level of sensitivity among students towards socio-cultural plagiarism is low. It is also revealed that there is no significant difference in the level of sensitivity among students towards socio-cultural plagiarism when respondents are grouped according to discipline. Therefore, as the basis for an intervention program, ethical standards of writing and the tools or technology to detect plagiarized output of the students are crucial elements towards the institution's academic standards.
Problems in the Re-classification of the Balance Sheet as Part of an Integrated Information System
Authors:   Full Professor in Business Administration Management Department- Ca’Foscari Venezia S. Giobbe – Cannaregio 873- 30121 Venezia (Italy), Silvia Avi Prof. Maria
Published: May 2021

The integrated information system is an IT and information structure that includes financial reporting and management control analysis. This system requires that each accounting item is linked to every other object. In the integrated information system, it is also necessary that each item has a unique meaning. Therefore, it is impossible to have several implications or several accounting items with special meanings. The reclassification of the balance sheet in an integrated information system requires the adoption of an extraordinarily complete and exhaustive scheme. All this is indispensable for implementing a balance sheet/budget analysis that can be useful to company management for the implementation of a decision-making process that maximises management and decision-making efficiency and effectiveness. The correct reclassification of all balance sheet and financial items sometimes requires reasoning that does not always appear linear and straightforward. For this reason, in the following pages, we will analyse the balance sheet items that, in general, are the precursors of reclassification errors that can invalidate the entire analysis of the balance sheet and the balance sheet budget.
Investigation of Unstable Failure Potential of a Shear Slip Using DEM at an Underground Mine
Authors: Ma Xu , Zhang Ping
Published: May 2021

Geological structures and discontinuities subjected to the perturbations posed by mining operations in underground mining can be re-activated and cause fault-slip rockbursts. This study investigates geomechanical stability in terms of shear slip behavior along discontinuities using 3DEC with focusing on sudden changes of shear stress and shear displacement. A direct shear test is performed using a continuously yielding joint model to examine the evolution of shear stress and shear displacement on this joint. Further, this continuously yielding joint model is applied in major discontinuities of an underground mine to examine whether an unstable shear slip behavior exists, which is represented by a significant shear stress decrease and a shear displacement increase. By referring to geological mapping of this mine, four cases are developed and each case is set up with one type of major discontinuities with identically simulated mining operations. Results imply that the amplitude of shear stress decrease and shear displacement increase along discontinuities substantially increases with the depth due to higher virgin stresses and mining-induced stresses at greater depths. The discontinuity parallel to the interface between footwall and orebody is the least safe case and subjects to the largest potential of triggering seismic events.

Keywords: Shear slip behavior, Unstable failure, Mining-induced seismicity, Continuously yielding joint model, DEM.
AI & Democracy, and The Importance of Asking the Right Questions
Authors: Arandjelovic´ Ognjen
Published: May 2021

Democracy is widely praised as a great achievement of humanity. However, in recent years there has been an increasing amount of concern that its functioning across the world may be eroding. In response, efforts to combat such change are emerging. Considering the pervasiveness of technology and its increasing capabilities, it is no surprise that there has been much focus on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to this end. Questions as to how AI can be best utilized to extend the reach of democracy to currently non-democratic countries, how the involvement in the democratic process of certain demographic groups (e.g. ethnic minorities, women, and young people) can be increased, etc. are frequent topics of discussion. In this article, I would like not merely to question whether this is desirable but rather argue that we should be trying to envisage ways of using AI for the exact opposite purpose: that of replacing democratic systems with better alternatives.
Citizenship by Naturalisation: Are Regulations 3(2)(b) and (c) to the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1985 Invalid?
Authors: Moosa Fareed
Published: May 2021

This article argues that regulation 3(2)(b), read with regulation 3(2)(c), issued pursuant to section 23(f) of the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1995 (“1995 Act”), is invalid and ought to be set aside on judicial review. It is argued that they are inconsistent with sections 5(1)(c), (2), (5) and (9)(a) of the 1995 Act. This article shows that, whereas regulation 3(2)(b) requires a foreigner seeking citizenship to be physically present in South Africa and not be absent from the Republic for more than 90 days in each of the five years preceding the date of application for citizenship, no such physical presence requirement is contained in section 5(1)(c), or in section 5 of the 1995 Act in general, if read holistically. Section 5(1)(c) merely requires that an aspirant citizen be ordinarily resident in South Africa for five continuous years immediately preceding the lodgement of an application for citizenship. In the context of section 5(1)(c), the term “ordinarily resident” is interpreted as not requiring a physical presence in South Africa for any period of time during a calendar year. Rather, it merely requires that a foreigner must have sufficiently strong ties to South Africa to support a finding that his real home is there. Therefore, it is hypothesised that the Minister of Home Affairs acted ultra vires the 1995 Act when he issued regulations 3(2)(b) and (c).

The Unreported War: Tackling Denialism and Social Stigma towards Victims of Armed Conflict-Related Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
Authors: Maphosa Ropafadzo
Published: May 2021

In addressing the United Nations Security Council at its 7938th meeting, the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, said that the social stigma attached to sexual violence is integral to the logic of using sexual violence as a tactic, a method of war or even torture. The perpetrators of sexual crimes understand that sexual violence attacks one’s individual and collective identity and ostracises survivors, thus untying the strings of family and kinship that hold the very fabric of communities together. As a result, survivors of gender-based and sexual violence often find it difficult to cope with its social repercussions. This article will pursue a detailed discussion pertaining to the severe stigma suffered by survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and how this issue is not adequately addressed in international law. The risk faced by survivors is threefold: first by the action of the perpetrator, then by the reaction of society through stereotypical and patriarchal attitudes, and finally by the courts, which often are not only unresponsive but also perpetuate negative social norms and rape myths leading to double persecution. Due to a lack of evidence and other factors, such as patriarchy and social inequalities, the stigma associated with conflict-related sexual violence is manifested in court rooms through various rape myths about its survivors. Sexual violence is a gendered phenomenon, in that it is often linked to, and stems from, harmful social and traditional practices relating to perceptions of gender and power dynamics surrounding them. In times of conflict, prevalent power dynamics, and the practices linked to them, can be further exacerbated leading to a higher prevalence of sexual violence. Therefore, the core argument advanced in this article is the necessity of combatting stigma and rape myths, and to promote the reporting of sexual crimes by and access to justice for survivors.

Published: May 2021

Accountants have embraced the emission of automation over many years to get better the efficiency and effectiveness of their work. But technology has not been able to replace the need for expert knowledge and decision-making. Earlier generations of ‘intelligent systems have usually demonstrated the progressing power of human expertise and the restrictions of machines. In the upcoming decades, intelligent systems must take over more and better decision-making tasks from humans. While accountant has been using technology for a lot of years to improve what they do and deliver more value to businesses, this is an opportunity to reimagine and radically improve the quality of business and investment decisions which is the ultimate purpose of the profession. Accountants, as expert decision-makers, use both ways of thinking they apply their knowledge to specific situations to make reasoned decisions, although also make quick intuitive decisions based on extensive experience in their field. Today, AI is being used for image recognition, object identification, detection, classification, and automated geophysical feature detection. These are underlying tasks that once required the input of a human. Focusing on how artificial intelligence will impact accountants, AI will very soon help the organization to automate much of the routine and repetitive activities that are undertaken on a daily, weekly or annual basis. It will also help the organization to empower quick decision-making to create smart insights examine huge quantities of data with ease.

The study adopted both exploratory and descriptive research design. Qualitative research method was used in collecting data and data was analyzed qualitatively. The main instrument for collecting data was the structured questionnaire. A sample size of 50 respondents consisting of 8 staff members and 48 customers of Barclays Bank was used for the study. A structured questionnaire was the main data collection instrument. The purposive and systematic sampling techniques were used to obtain the required sample size. The main tool which was used for the data analysis was Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Frequencies and percentages were used to present the data in a tabular form. The limitation affecting the study was time and financial constraints. The study revealed that ICT has an appreciable positive effect on performance due to improved customer service delivery. This affects the growth of Barclays Bank. ATM service flaws such as withdrawal discrepancies, issuance of faulty cards and long time for applied ATM cards to arrive deter most customers from accessing the service. Following from this study, it is recommended, Barclays Bank enhances the performance of their ATMs and their networks to increase customers satisfaction.

O atual trabalho visa compreender o processo histórico educacional e se baseia nas leis educacionais, para realizar uma proposta de estratégia didática que atinja os objetivos desses documentos que regem o sistema educacional brasileiro. Sendo assim, utilizou-se a gamificação a fim de gerar motivação e engajamento nos alunos, para que possam ter uma participação ativa e consigam construir seus conhecimentos a partir de argumentações em discussões sociocientíficas e produção de materiais de divulgação científica. Os elementos de jogos utilizados para gamificação, juntamente com recursos tecnológicos, são promissoras devido aos estímulos presentes em sua prática. Isto exige um professor mediador das atividades, com alta relevância desde a elaboração até a aplicação, com intuito de tornar o aluno autônomo do saber e com participação ativa.

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of Multimodal Instructional Approach on students’ academic performance in the concept of Biological Classification at Navrongo Senior High School, generally, and on gender basis.

Methodology: The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. The sample comprised of 100 Navrongo Senior High School Form Two Gold Track and Green Track science students. Students from the Gold Track and Green Track were designated experimental group and control group respectively. Each group was made up of 25 males and 25 females. Pretest was administered to all the participants. The experimental group was taught using Multimodal Instructional Approach. The control group was taught using Discussion as the teaching method. A posttest was administered to both groups to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The reliability of the test items was determined using test-retest reliability coefficient. The test-retest reliability coefficients of the instruments were found to be 0.73 and 0.78 for the pretest and posttest respectively. The data obtained were analysed using independent sample t-test.

Results: The pretest test scores revealed that the students were homogeneous in terms of performance. Posttest results of students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group. There was no significant difference in the performance of males and females. The results of the posttest revealed that the use of MIA in teaching biological classification was more effective than discussion method.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study recommended that Biology teachers in NSHS should be encouraged to teach Biological Classification using MIA in order to improve the academic performance of both male and female students. School authority should invite educational technologists, instructional materials technicians and computer experts to help science teachers of NSHS on how to incorporate ICT in teaching science subjects.

Ternos de Congado em Minas Gerais

Os coletivos denominados “ternos de congado” realizam cortejos em algumas festas organizadas em homenagem à “Nossa Senhora do Rosário”, onde através do canto, da dança e da manipulação de objetos simbólicos saúdam santos não apenas católicos, coroam Reis Congos e dialogam com outros grupos de congado. Para além dos materiais etnográficos coletados por ocasião da dissertação de mestrado (Silva, 2009), pretendo explorar agora temas míticos e rituais dos festejos, assim como estender a abordagem sobre suas variações valendo-se de um esquema geral desta festa que ocorre em diferentes locais do Brasil.

Esta pesquisa assume como ponto de partida a noção de que os períodos de congregação social, os quais, muitas vezes, denominamos como “festas” podem ser compreendidos tanto como ocasiões rituais de aproximação de pessoas e grupos sociais quanto como momentos de transposição das fronteiras que delimitam esferas de significação e atuação para diferentes sujeitos inseridos em um dado contexto social1. Assim, esta pesquisa é dedicada à análise de um contexto festivo (as festas juninas) a partir da problematização do protagonismo homossexual e travesti identificado nos concursos de danças juninas e de “Miss Caipira Gay” realizados no mês de junho na cidade de Belém e em muitos municípios do interior do Estado do Pará.

Parto do princípio de que a cidade deve ser percebida etnograficamente. E, nesse sentido,considero tarefa da pesquisa antropológica, de um lado, observar e questionar com rigor dinâmicas urbanas contemporâneas e, de outro, procurar incessantemente modos variados e perspectivas múltiplas de descrevê- las. Nos últimos sete anos, tenho perseguido tal tarefa, visando uma contribuição a esse campo de discussão, apartir de pesquisas empíricas realizadas em territorialidades itinerantes (Frugoli e Spaggiari) de uso de crack em Campinas, São Paulo e, mais recentemente, no Rio de Janeiro e em Belo Horizonte.

Conforme disse Michel Agier (2011, p. 159), é quando “o invisível da cidade dialoga com sua matéria visível” que vemos surgir os espaços urbanos na sua forma mais nobre, pois relacional. Algo particularmente claro em Paris, onde a monumentalidade do espaço urbano é rodeada pela mobilidade gerada pelos efeitos perversos de uma topografia política excludente, responsável pela geração de fluxos de moradores de rua, vendedores ambulantes, imigrantes ilegais e desempregados, que lutam por espaço em meio aos circuitos endinheirados do turismo.
