Pemerolehan Bahasa Dalam Perspektif Psikolinguistik Dan Alquran
Authors: Muradi Ahmad
Published: December 2018

Pemerolehan bahasa merupakan proses yang dialami manusia dalam perkembangan bahasanya. Pemerolehan ini bersifat alami.Pokok masalah dalam artikel ini adalah 1) Bagaimana teori pemerolehan bahasa dalam perspektif psiklinguistik dan Alquran. 2) Bagaimana proses pemerolehan bahasa dalam perspektif psiklinguistik dan Alquran. Sedangkan tujuan penulisan ini adalah 1) mendeskripsikan teori pemerolehan bahasa dalam perspektif psiklinguistik dan Alquran. 2) mendeskripsikan proses pemerolehan bahasa dalam perspektif psiklinguistik dan Alquran.Tiga teori telah membahas secara cermat terhadap pemerolehan bahasa ini, yaitu teori behavioristik, teori nativis dan fungsional. Sementara itu, berbagai kajian tersebut juga telah dibahas oleh Alquran.Teori behavioristik mengatakan bahwa pemerolehan bahasa melalui perilaku verbal, yaitu dengan adanya stimulus lalu kemudian direspon dan pada akhirnya menumbulkan bahasa. Sedang teori nativis mengatakan bahwa pemerolehan bahasa dengan kapasitas genetik yang mempengaruhi kemampuan kita dalam memahami bahasa di sekitar kita, yang hasilnya adalah sebuah konstruksi sistem bahasa yang tertanam dalam diri kita. Sementara teori fungsional mengatakan bahwa pemerolehan bahasa bergantung kepada perkembangan kognitif. Jadi, seseorang berdasar output bahasa, lalu memprosesnya dengan memberi makna dan pada akhirnya melahirkan bahasa sebagai input. Adapun dalam Alquran, proses pemerolehan bahasa dengan ujaran dan stimulus yang didapat dari luar. Kemudian disambut oleh potensi yang dimiliki dan dibantu dengan piranti yang ada. Kemudian, manusia mencerna pesan yang sampai dan mengolahnya dengan proses berpikir dan memori yang dimiliki. Lalu diteruskan dengan memahaminya dan pada akhirnya tercipta bahasa ‘baru’.
Topic Dependency Models: Graph-Based Visual Analytics for Communicating Assessment Data
Authors: Khosravi Hassan , Cooper Kendra
Published: December 2018

Educational environments continue to evolve rapidly to address the needs of diverse, growing student populations while embracing advances in pedagogy and technology. In this changing landscape, ensuring consistency among the assessments for different offerings of a course (within or across terms), providing meaningful feedback about student achievements, and tracking student progress over time are all challenging tasks, particularly at scale. Here, a collection of visual Topic Dependency Models (TDMs) is proposed to help address these challenges. It uses statistical models to determine and visualize student achievements on one or more topics and their dependencies at a course level reference TDM (e.g., CS 100) as well as assessment data at the classroom level (e.g., students in CS 100 Term 1 2016 Section 001), both at one point in time (static) and over time (dynamic). The collection of TDMs share a common two-weighted graph foundation. Exemplar algorithms are presented for the creation of the course reference and selected class (static and dynamic) TDMs; the algorithms are illustrated using a common symbolic example. Studies on the application of the TDM collection on datasets from two university courses are presented; these case studies utilize the open-source, proof of concept tool under development.

Filhos da terra e filhos da santa: manifestações de um território católico quilombola na festa de Santa Teresa em Itamatatiua-MA
Authors: Chatzikidi Katerina
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo discute uma das formas com quais quilombolas católicos do litoral norte maranhense defendem o seu território coletivo chamado “Terras de Santa Teresa”, dos seus principais adversários religiosos e territoriais: os evangélicos. Residentes católicos (historicamente o grupo religioso da maioria esmagadora da população na região) estão lutando contra o surgimento e a influência crescente de igrejas pentecostais e tentam reforçar o catolicismo e os laços religiosos entre os residentes. No intuito de discutir esse tema, o artigo analisa as dinâmicas de agregação e mobilização do capital religioso no nível local. Defendo que estas dinâmicas se materializam principalmente nos preparativos para, e durante, as celebrações anuais do festejo da padroeira Santa Teresa de Jesus. Será mostrado que na defesa e manutenção da sua identidade católica, os quilombolas estão ao mesmo tempo defendendo o seu território comum e as suas tradições religiosas e culturais.
INVESTIGATING THE ARCHITECT OF GRAND MOSQUE OF AL-MASHUN MEDAN, NORTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA – PART 1
Authors: Budi Bambang Setia , Kemalasari Jeumpa
Published: December 2018

This study aimed to investigate the architect of the Grand Mosque of Al-Mashun Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Four persons are alleged to be the architect of the mosque, which was built by the Sultan of Deli, Makmun Al-Rasyid Perkasa Alamsyah from 1906-1909. Their names are Adolf J. Dingemans, J.A. Tiendemans, Klingenberg, and Theo van Erp. All of them are Dutch. However, who was the real architect of the mosque remains uncertain. The four names are mentioned in many sources, but no evidence or argumentation is provided. The attributions will be critically examined to find out who is the most likely candidate. The method of this research was a critical review and descriptive analysis of all the collected information, and the interpretation of some physical evidence from the field survey. However, this research did not find who indeed the architect of the Grand Mosque of Al-Mashun Medan. The attribution still needs to carefully investigated because the more definite evidence is still required. It only found that the most convincing assumption is that the architect of the mosque is Theo van Erp.
Healing and hope: using life-coaching principles within the context of pastoral care
Authors: Viljoen Jozua , Lotter George
Published: December 2018

This article is the product of a qualitative, trans-disciplinary study that aimed to explore the use of life-coaching principles within the context of pastoral care. The research relied on the theoretical underpinnings of pastoral theology and life coaching. The problem that the article considers is that, while pastors are equipped with counselling skills, most of them are not equipped with the life-coaching skills necessary to assist people with personal and spiritual growth. We argue that pastors can enhance the pastoral care process by using basic life-coaching principles. Furthermore, we propose a pastoral care process that, on the one hand, focuses on counselling that addresses the coachee’s past as part of a healing process and, on the other hand, on life-coaching principles that look to the future while encouraging growth, as well as personal and spiritual development.

GENESING EN HOOP: DIE GEBRUIK VAN LEWENSAFRIGTINGSBEGINSELS BINNE DIE
KONTEKS VAN PASTORALE SORG
Opsomming
Hierdie artikel is die produk van ‘n kwalitatiewe, trans-dissiplinêre studie wat ten doel gestel het om lewensafrigtingsbeginsels binne die konteks van pastorale sorg te ondersoek. Die beginsels van Pastorale Teologie en Lewensafrigting het die vorm die teoretiese onderbou van die studie. Die artikel besin oor die probleem dat, alhoewel pastors oor beradingsvaardighede beskik, hulle meestal nie met die nodige lewensafrigtingsvaardighede toegerus is nie en dus nie bekwaam genoeg is om mense met persoonlike en geestelike groei te help nie. Ons redeneer dat pastors die proses van pastorale sorg kan versterk deur van basiese lewensvaardigheidsbeginsels gebruik te maak. Verder stel ons voor dat die proses van pastorale sorg nie net fokus op berading waar die person wat berading ontvang se verlede in ag geneem word nie, maar ook op lewensafrigtingsbeginsels wat kyk na die toekoms, terwyl groei, asook persoonlike en spirituele ontwikkeling aangemoedig word.
“In a Golden Coach”: An educational musical event about fullness of life
Authors: Potgieter Hetta , Boyce-Tillman June
Published: December 2018

This article discusses a community musical event that took place in Winchester Cathedral on 17 November 2012. June Boyce-Tillman annually composes a participatory community music making event with a specific theme. One such event, In a Golden Coach, was designed for mass participation, in which school-children, dispersed instruments, an orchestra, solo singers, three community choirs and the cathedral organ participated. The central theme of the musical event was that the nature of the Queen’s vocation to serve people which can make her a role model for children. She lived a life that could be associated with fullness of life. Unstructured interviews with a group of pupils from two schools who participated in the performance, combined with an autoethnographic account of the composer’s intentions and aspirations, shed an interesting light on the role of musicking in the expression of spirituality. These two data sources are combined using grounded theory, and then applied to prominent concepts in the literature on spirituality particularly from Radboud University, Nijmegen. Finally, the expression of spirituality of performance is linked with the Aristotelian concept of eudaimonia, which is commonly translated as ‘wellbeing’ and can be related to fullness of life. The educational value of the musical event has moments that highlight fullness of life.
Characterizing Usability Inspection Methods through the Analysis of a Systematic Mapping Study Extension
Authors: Rivero Luis , Barreto Raimundo , Conte Tayana
Published: December 2018

Usability is one of the most relevant quality aspects in Web applications. A Web application is usable if it provides a friendly, direct and easy to understand interface. Many Usability Inspection Methods (UIMs) have been proposed as a cost effective way to enhance usability. However, many companies are not aware of these UIMs and consequently, are not using them. A secondary study can identify, evaluate and interpret all data that is relevant to the current knowledge available regarding UIMs that have been used to evaluate Web applications in the past few decades. Therefore, we have extended a systematic mapping study about Usability Evaluation Methods by analyzing 26 of its research papers from which we extracted and categorized UIMs. We provide practitioners and researches with the rationale to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of the emerging UIMs for the Web. Furthermore, we have summarized the relevant information of the UIMs, which suggested new ideas or theoretical basis regarding usability inspection in the Web domain. In addition, we present a new UIM and a tool for Web usability inspection starting from the results shown in this paper.
Managing SPL Variabilities in UAV Simulink Models with Pure::variants and Hephaestus
Authors: Steiner Eduardo , Masiero Paulo , Bonifácio Rodrigo
Published: December 2018

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are vehicles that y without a pilot and are able to execute dierent types of missions, such as surveillance, topographical data collection, and environment monitoring. This motivates some degree of variability in the controlling software of UAV (usually specied using Simulink models), even though it is also possible to reuse software in this domain using systematic approaches such as Software Product Lines (SPLs). In this paper we present a catalog of patterns to represent variable features in Simulink and show how to construct a simple software product line for an UAV. We also show mechanisms and an infrastructure for conguring Simulink assets, using two tools to manage variabilities: Pure::variants and Hephaestus. These tools are also compared according to a set of characteristics.
Conducting Empirical Studies to Evaluate a Technique to Inspect Software Testing Artifacts
Authors: Brito Jardelane , Dias-Neto Arilo Claudio
Published: December 2018

Experimentation is becoming increasingly used in the Software Engineering field. Several methodologies adopt empirical studies as an instrument to support the software technologies’ conception and maturation. This paper presents the application of a methodology based on the conduction of primary studies to develop a new checklist-based technique, named TestCheck, for inspection of software testing artifacts (test plan, cases, and procedures). Thus far, three empirical studies have been conducted (two feasibility studies and one observational study). The results of the first feasibility study indicate that TestCheck is more efficient and effective when detecting defects in software testing artifacts than an Ad-hoc approach. The results of the second feasibility study suggest an improvement in TestCheck regarding the defects detection and the reduction of the number of false positives per inspector. Finally, the results of the third study (observational study) evaluated positively the application of TestCheck by software engineers inspecting testing artifacts developed in an industrial environment. Thus, it would be qualified for the execution of the methodology’s next steps (case studies in the software industry).
Cultural Preservation and Inclusion for the Ifugao People
Authors: Jocson Ellisiah Uy
Published: December 2018

This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the Philippines. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas such as education, business and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of the indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The people of the Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage particularly due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The divided vantages from the desire to preserve their culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services seems to present a rift and a dilemma on which ideology to promulgate. Apart from the imbalances, the stand of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given the notions of inclusion to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion, it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue, and identify what actions to take regarding them. The study aims to understand how they are perceived, implemented and integrated and shall look for manifestations in three areas of the Ifugao, namely the Lamut, Lagawe, and Banaue. The study uses a qualitative-case study design, obtaining data through a review of documents and policies, interviews and observations in order to identify the current status of both ideologies in terms of implementation, integration and acceptance for the Ifugao people in the Philippines.

Published: December 2018

La presente investigación se realizó con el propósito de diseñar talleres de tutoría en la atención de habilidades sociales poco desarrolladas de estudiantes universitarios; a través de las cuales manifiestan sus necesidades, sentimientos, preferencias, opiniones y derechos, respetando a los demás y como consecuencia se visualiza el autoreforzamiento y maximiza la probabilidad de conseguir refuerzo externo. El estudio fue abordado desde el paradigma interpretativo, enfoque cualitativo, el método proyectivo - holístico como proceso sistemático. Se recogió información diagnóstica de estudiantes y tutores, a través de entrevistas y grupos focales,  centrados en las habilidades conductuales, personales y situacionales. De todo ello, se identificaron categorías y subcategorías que permitieron elegir estrategias para atender las necesidades. Como resultado, se demostró que las habilidades sociales, aspecto importante para la inserción y el desempeño laboral, no se encuentran desarrolladas a pesar de existir el acompañamiento de tutores. Asimismo, las estrategias utilizadas en las acciones tutoriales no son las adecuadas; por ende, deben ser modificadas. También, se concluyó que las instituciones de formación universitaria deben realizar procesos de planificación de tutorías previo diagnóstico.

Published: December 2018

Chitosan decorated copper nanoparticles catalysts (CSCuNPs) were synthesized via reduction methods utilizing green protocol. The CSCuNPs catalysts were tested for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives utilizing one-pot multicomponent reaction (MCR) under ultrasonic irradiation. The best catalyst (Cu-CS-NPs) that provided good conversion reaction yield and high turnover frequency (TOF) was characterized using FTIR, TGA, XRD, TEM and XPS techniques. Generalization of the scope of the proposed catalytic process was studied using different aldehydes. Excellent products yield and high TOF in even shorter reaction time (~5 min) was attained. Recyclability performance of the catalyst over five times re-use without detectable loss in product yield was recorded. The current method is green process utilizing environmentally benign catalyst and considered to be promising sustainable protocol for the synthesis of fine chemicals.

Authors: Chou Chen-Chiang , Chen Wei-Ting , Tsai Yung-Pin
Published: December 2018

Polluted rivers are a primary problem in Changhua County, Taiwan, due to rapid and massive developments in agriculture and industry. In this study, samples consisted of water influent from the Yangzi-Cuo River, Ci-Tong Jiao, Changhua County. Ecology technology, a combination of gravel contact oxidation and surface flow constructed wetlands, was employed to enhance the water quality. Ecology technology is a useful and ordinary process that focuses on original treatment of pollution through chemical, physical, and biological procedures based on the mediums of soil, plant, water, and microorganisms from pure environments. Moreover, this study aimed to minimize the river pollution index (RPI) of the Yangzi-Cuo River by using combinations of gravel contact oxidation and surface flow constructed wetlands. The inflow volume of the water samples in situ was found to be 1534–2261 cubic meters per day (CMD). The pollution in the water sample mostly involved suspended solid (SS), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3–N), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and the values of the above indexes were found to be 10.0–26.7 mg/L, 0.9–14.0 mg/L, 1.2–14.1 mg/L, 11.1–18.2 mg/L, and 0.5–3.6 mg/L, respectively. Efficiencies of pollution elimination in SS, NH3–N, TP, TN, and BOD were found to be 24.2–93.1%, 58.3–86.2%, 5.2–85.0%, 59.4–77.2%, and 46.3–76.4%, correspondingly, after purification treatment via ecology technology. Thus, ecology technology is a valid means of purification treatment for polluted rivers.

Confined Polymers as Self-Avoiding Random Walks on Restricted Lattices
Authors: Benito Javier , Karayiannis Nikos Ch. , Laso Manuel
Published: December 2018

Polymers in highly confined geometries can display complex morphologies including ordered phases. A basic component of a theoretical analysis of their phase behavior in confined geometries is the knowledge of the number of possible single-chain conformations compatible with the geometrical restrictions and the established crystalline morphology. While the statistical properties of unrestricted self-avoiding random walks (SAWs) both on and off-lattice are very well known, the same is not true for SAWs in confined geometries. The purpose of this contribution is a) to enumerate the number of SAWs on the simple cubic (SC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices under confinement for moderate SAW lengths, and b) to obtain an approximate expression for their behavior as a function of chain length, type of lattice, and degree of confinement. This information is an essential requirement for the understanding and prediction of entropy-driven phase transitions of model polymer chains under confinement. In addition, a simple geometric argument is presented that explains, to first order, the dependence of the number of restricted SAWs on the type of SAW origin.
SolarView: Georgia Solar Adoption in Context
Authors: Tidwell Jacqueline Hettel , Tidwell Abraham , Nelson Steffan , Hill Marcus
Published: December 2018

Despite a global push in the development and implementation of widespread alternative energy use, significant disparities exist across given nation-states. These disparities, frequently referred to as the local-national gap, reflect both technical and economic factors, as well as the social, political, and ecological gaps between how communities see energy development and national/global policy goals. This dataset is an attempt to bridge the local-national gap regarding solar PV adoption in the state of Georgia (U.S.A.). This dataset is an aggregation of variables from seven different publicly-available sources that was designed to help researchers interested in the context underlying solar adoption on the local scale of governance (e.g. the county level). The SolarView database includes information necessary for informing policymaking activities such as solar installation information, a historical county zip code directory, county-level census data, housing value indexes, renewable energy incentive totals, PV rooftop suitability percentages, and utility rates. As this is a database from multiple sources, incomplete data entries are noted.
A Conceptual Model for Safety-Based Theory of Lean Construction
Authors: Moaveni Soheila , Banihashemi Seyed Y. , Mojtahedi Mohammad
Published: December 2018

The construction industry is one of the most fatal industries, so it is important to pay more attention to safety solutions. Even though work-related accidents are known as major waste in construction projects, little attention has been paid so far to incorporating safety into the lean construction framework. In this research, lean construction theory is reviewed through the lens of safety. That being so, the identified challenges in previous research on improving safety in construction projects are categorized and those related to the concept of lean project delivery are introduced. Then, the principles of the lean construction framework are explained and the relevant changes for incorporating safety into the framework are introduced and discussed. It is expected that this hybrid model would further enrich the lean construction framework. The careful attention of project executives to this model may improve the safety situation in construction projects.
The Power of Carl Schmitt: Fascism, Dualism and Justice
Authors: Cohen Richard A.
Published: December 2018

To show that underlying Schmitt's account of fascist politics lies a Gnostic-like metaphysical dualism separating the realms of value and power. Contrary to the normative political tradition of the West, which defends an ethical politics, Schmitt - jurist and theorist of the Nazis - aligns himself with Machiavelli and Hobbes to defend realpolitik: where sovereignty is ultimately a function of the Dictator's will alone. This paper shows the contradiction within such a position, which criticizes values in politics but by its advocacy, and its defense of the Dictator's willing, relies on valuation, choice, and hence the ethical.

Based on historical facts, revisited from a present-day perspective, and on the documented opinions of the scientists involved in the discovery themselves, strong arguments are given in favor of a proposal to include prominent astronomer Vesto Slipher to the suggested addition of Georges Lemaître's name to Hubble's law on the expansion of the Universe, and thus eventually call it Hubble-Lemaître-Slipher's (HLS) law.
From a Smoking Gun to Spent Fuel: Principled Subsampling Methods for Building Big Language Data Corpora from Monitor Corpora
Authors: Tidwell Jacqueline Hettel
Published: December 2018

With the influence of Big Data culture on qualitative data collection, acquisition, and processing, it is becoming increasingly important that social scientists understand the complexity underlying data collection and the resulting models and analyses. Systematic approaches for creating computationally tractable models need to be employed in order to create representative, specialized reference corpora subsampled from Big Language Data sources. Even more importantly, any such method must be tested and vetted for its reproducibility and consistency in generating a representative model of a particular population in question. This article considers and tests one such method for Big Language Data downsampling of digitally-accessible language data to determine both how to operationalize this form of corpus model creation, as well as testing whether the method is reproducible. Using the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's public documentation database as a test source, the sampling method's procedure was evaluated to assess variation in the rate of which documents were deemed fit for inclusion or exclusion from the corpus across four iterations. The findings of this study indicate that such a principled sampling method is viable, thus necessitating the need for an approach for creating language-based models that account for extralinguistic factors and linguistic characteristics of documents.

A series of Cu(II)-thiocyanato complexes derived from sterically hindered N-donors diamines were synthesized and characterized: catena-[Cu(Me3en)(μ-NCS)(NCS)] (1), catena-[Cu(NEt2Meen)(μ-NCS)(NCS)] (2), catena-[Cu(N,N,2,2-Me4pn)(μ-NCS)(NCS)] (3), the dimeric: [Cu2(N,N′-isp2en)2(μ-NCS)2(NCS)2] (4) and the monomeric complex [Cu(N,N′-t-Bu2en)(NCS)2] (5), where Me3en = N,N,N′-Trimethylethylenediamine, NEt2Meen = N,N-diethyl-N′-methylethylenediamine, N,N,2,2-Me4pn = N,N,2,2-tetramethylpropylenediamine, N,N′-isp2en = N,N′-diisopropylethylenediamine and N,N′-t-Bu2en = N,N′-di(tert-butyl)ethylenediamine. The complexes were characterized by elemental microanalyse, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Density Functional Theory was used to evaluate the role of steric effects in compounds 4 and 5 and how this may affect the adaption of a specific geometry, NCS-bonding mode and the dimensionality of the resulting complex.
Synergetic Theory of Information
Authors: Vyatkin Viktor
Published: December 2018

A new approach is presented to defining the amount of information, in which information is understood as the data about a finite set as a whole, whereas the average length of an integrative code of elements serves as a measure of information. We obtain a formula for the syntropy of reflection, that is, the information that two intersecting finite sets reflect about each other. The specificities of reflection of discrete systems through the combination of their parts are considered, and it is shown that the additive syntropy and entropy of reflection are measures of structural order and chaos. Three information laws have been established: the law of conservation of the sum of chaos and order; information law of reflection; the law of conservation and transformation of information. An assessment of the structural organization and the level of development of discrete systems is presented. It is shown that various measures of information are structural characteristics of integrative codes of elements of discrete systems. The conclusion is made that, from the informational-genetic positions, the synergetic theory of information is primary in relation to the Hartley-Shannon information theory. In the appendix we consider the asymmetry of the mutual reflection of finite sets and the proportionality of arbitrary quantities.
The Plastic Adaptation to Pathology in Psychiatry. Are Patients with Psychiatric Disorders Pathological Experts?
Authors: Amad Ali , Expert Paul , Lord Louis-David , Fovet Thomas , Geoffroy Pierre A.
Published: December 2018

Psychiatric disorders share the same pattern of longitudinal evolution and have courses that tend to be chronic and recurrent. These aspects of chronicity and longitudinal evolution of psychiatric disorders are currently studied under the neuroprogression framework. Interestingly, considering the plasticity of the brain, it is necessary to emphasize the bidirectional nature of neuroprogression. We review evidence highlighting alterations of the brain associated with the longitudinal evolution of psychiatric disorders from the framework of neuroplastic adaptation to pathology. This new framework highlights that substantial plasticity and remodelling may occur beyond the classic neuroprogressive framework, which is characterized only by loss of grey matter volume, decreased brain connectivity, and chronic inflammation. We also integrate the brain economy concept in the neuroplastic adaptation to pathology framework, emphasizing that to preserve its economy, i.e., function, the brain learns how to cope with the disease by adapting its architecture. This approach can disentangle both the specific pathophysiology of psychiatric symptoms and the adaptation to pathology, thus offering a new framework for both diagnosis and treatment.
Statistical Behaviours of Semiflexible Polymer Chains Stretched in Rectangular Tubes
Authors: Wang Jizeng , Li Kai
Published: December 2018

We quantitatively investigated the statistical behaviors of semiflexible polymer chains, which are simultaneously subjected to force stretching and rectangular tube confinement. Based on the wormlike chain model and Odijk deflection theory, we derived a new deflection length, by which new compact formulas are obtained for the confinement free energy and force-confinement-extension relation. These newly derived formulas have been justified by numerical solutions of an eigenvalue problem associated with the Fokker-Planck governing equation and extensive Brownian dynamics simulations based on the so-called Generalized Bead-Rod (GBR) model. We found that, comparing to the classical deflection theory, these new formulas are valid for a much extended range of the confinement-size /persistence-length ratio, and have no adjustable fitting parameters for sufficient long semiflexible chains in the whole deflection regime.
Effect of Y/Mg Ion Ratio and Phase Assemble on Ionic Conductivity of Multi-Doped Zirconia Ceramic Solid Electrolytes
Authors: Hoo Y.G. , Shi Yusheng , Lu Wenzhong
Published: December 2018

The phase composition design principle is introduced to obtain balanced properties of ionic conductivity and thermo-tolerant for zirconia solid electrolytes used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The zirconia ceramic solid electrolytes are fabricated by two-step free sintering. With increasing Y/Mg ionic ratio from 1.78:1 to 1.88:1, the content of monoclinic phase fluctuates little (±3%). The ionic conductivity, including the total electrical resistance; grain electrical resistance and grain boundary electrical resistance at 1223K, are all gradually declining with the increasing of Y/Mg ionic ratio. Furthermore, the enrichment of Mg ion in grain boundary acts as a disincentive to grain boundary ionic conductivity. In addition, the maximum total equivalent conductivity at 1223K in this study reaches to 0.143 Scm-1 which can compare with that of certain YSZ. It will be beneficial to SOFCs application profited from increasing ionic conductivity of ceramic solid electrolytes.

DAKWAH HUKUM ISLAM MODEL KOMUNIKASI JURNALISTIK
Authors: Suhadi Suhadi
Published: December 2018

Berdakwah membutuhkan etika dan kearifan, apalagi berdakwah menjawab persoalan hukum Islam. Banyak kegelisahan para pemerhati dakwah hukum Islam melalui media social. Pada sisi lain kecanggihan dan kemudahan teknologi dan informasi menyediakan ragam komunikasi menyampaikan pesan yang berkualitas dan bertanggung jawab serta terukur dan terarah. Dalam hal ini model komunikasi jurnalistik merupakan salah satu cara menyampaikan pesan dimaksud khusunya di bidang dakwah hukum Islam sehingga dengan demikian model yang sembarangan dan asal bunyi diharapakan akan tereliminasi dalam media sosial apalagi model ujaran kebencian dan hoak. Indonesia telah menikmati reformasi serta demokratisasi pers dan penyiaran sejak 1998. Secara yuridis, dalam kurun waktu 1998-2008, Indonesia telah memiliki lima undang-undang organik yang berkaitan langsung dengan masalah kebebasan berbicara, kemerdekaan menyatakan pendapat, kemerdekaan pers dan penyiaran serta kebebasan berkomunikasi melalui media dalam jaringan. Kebebasan itulah yang kemudian menimbulkan masalah hingga ujungnya situs dan konten agama yang menjadi sorotan dan menimbulkan polemic terkait ujaran kebencian, isu sara serta dakwah hokum Islam dengan fanatik  buta berdasar madzhab dan keyakinan tertentu meski menyerang pandangan dan keyakinan sesama saudaranya, akhirnya mulai ramai bermunculanlah konsep dan pengertian bidáh, sesat, thogut, kafir, sunnah, syariah, khilafah dengan pemahaman yang dangkal dan sempit.
