Musik Tiup dan Upacara Adat: Kasus Pengayaan Identitas Kebudayaan Musikal pada Masyarakat Batak Toba di Kota Medan
Authors: Purba Mauly
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACTÂ Up to the 1990â€™s the use of the gondang sabangunan, the traditional ceremonial music ensamble of the Batak Toba people,Â  still played an important role in the practice of their adat (customary law) ceremoniesâ€”such as wedding and funeral ceremonies. In present time, however, the so-called musik tiup, a combination of Western brass instruments and Batak Toba traditional musical instruments, tends Â to take place of the role of the gondang sabangunan in the adat ceremonies; its use is in fact countinuous. This paper aims to investigate whether or not it is a kind of Â social process of Â forming a new musical culture identity of the Batak Toba people in Medan. Ethnomusicological and ethno- historical approaches are used in investigating this particular social phenomenon. This research uses decriptive method and the result shows that, on one hand, the people intend to look after their ances- torsâ€™ traditions through the practice of adat ceremonies where they use musik tiup, yet at the same time, they not only perform traditional gondang repertoires (gondang compositions) but also employ certain instruments of the gondang sabangunan ensamble. On the other hand, through the use of musik tiup the people mean to construct andÂ  enrich their musical culture identity.Â Keywords: Batak Toba, musik tiup, Gondang Sabangunan, identity, adatÂ Â Â Â ABSTRAKÂ HinggaÂ  dekadeÂ  1990anÂ  penggunaanÂ  gondangÂ  sabangunan,Â  ensambelÂ  musikÂ  seremo- nial masyarakat Batak Toba Toba di kota Medan, masih memainkan peran yang penting di dalam upacara-upacara adat, antara lain upacara perkawinan dan kematian. Namun, dewasa ini ensambel yang dikenal sebagai musik tiup, yang merupakan kombinasi alat musik tiup logam (dari kebudayaan Barat) dengan alat musik dari kebudayaan Batak Toba, kelihatannya menggantikan posisi ensambel gondang sabangunan di dalam upacara-upa- cara adat; kondisi ini berkesinambungan. Apakah ini suatu dinamika proses sosial dalam rangka pembentukan identitas kebudayaan musikal yang baru bagi masyarakat Batak Toba di kota Medan? Pendekatan etnomusikologi dan etnohistori diaplikasikan dalam hal me- mahami dan menganalisa masalah ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa di satu sisi, masyarakat berusaha menjaga kesinambungan tradisi musik leluhur mereka melalui pelaksanaan upacara adat walaupun dengan format ensambel yang berbeda (musik tiup), tetapi tetap memberi ruang kepada elemen musik dan ekstra musikal tradisi gondang Batak Toba, khususnya instrumen dan melodi gondang. Di sisi yang lain, melalui musik tiup masyarakat memberikan kontribusi pada pengayaan identitas kebudayaan musikalnya.Â Kata kunci: Batak Toba, musik tiup, Gondang Sabangunan, identitas, adat

ABSTRACTÂ This research aims to reveal a meaning that is built up in a phenomenon when someone is in- volved in the adventure of him/herself in the world of dance. The problem concerns on the processes of human life transformation Â in a variety of activities that he has experienced along his journey in having a profession as a dance artist (dancer). This question is to know about what extent the con- sistency of being a dancer can contribute to a culture of life and the values of life which inherently exist in a personâ€™s life in order to build awareness of his identity as a dancer. To solve this problem, the theory of cultural ideology approach is applied. Data analysis was performed with the dynamics in the life of a dancer which is generally supported by the authorâ€™s personal experience in dancing activity. Through a study of dancing activity and awareness of the dynamics of life experienced, understood, and internalized by a dancer then revealed an intensity of meaning that indicate the emergence of culture. The intensity of the culture was hammered into a potential or force inherent in the human person (the dancer). This gives meaning to the presence of cultural life values that can be identified as human existence itself.Â Keywords: intensity of culture, the world of dance, self-existenceÂ Â Â Â ABSTRAKÂ Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pemaknaan budaya yang terbangun dalam suatu fenomena ketika seseorang larut dalam petualangan dirinya dalam dunia kepenarian. Permasalahannya menyangkut proses kehidupan manusia yang menjelma ke dalam ber- bagai aktivitas yang dilampauinya sepanjang ia menekuni profesinya sebagai seniman tari (penari). Hal yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah sejauh mana konsistensi petualangan dunia kepenarian tersebut dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi nilai-nilai kehidupan membudaya, khususnya nilai-nilai yang melekat pada kehidupan pribadi manusia dalam rangka mem- bangun kesadaran atas jati dirinya sebagai seorang penari. Untuk memecahkan permasa- lahan tersebut digunakan pendekatan budaya dengan mengaplikasikan teori ideologi de- ngan perolehan data yang kemudian dicermati melalui analisis terhadap proses kehidupan penari pada umumnya serta didukung dengan pengalaman pribadi penulis yang sampai saat ini aktif berkecimpung selaku penari. Â Melalui suatu kajian Â terhadap aktivitas dalam kepenarian serta kesadaran terhadap dinamika kehidupan yang dialami, dipahami, dan dihayati oleh seorang penari maka terungkap suatu pemaknaan yang mengindikasikan munculnya intensitas budaya. Intensitas budaya tersebut terpatri menjadi sebuah potensi atau kekuatan yang melekat pada pribadi manusia (penari). Hal ini memberikan arti pada kehadiran suatu nilai yang dapat diidentifikasi sebagai eksistensi diri manusia.Â Kata kunci: intensitas budaya, dunia kepenarian, eksistensi diri

Published: October 2017

Kata yang paling banyak mengalami redefinisi sekarang ini adalah seni dan budaya. Seni dan budaya saling keterkaitan, jika seni mengalami perubahan persepsi danÂ  interpretasi demikian pula sebaliknya. Salah satu penemuan yang menakjubkan di dunia ini adalah ditemukannya fotografi. Dalam ranah seni, fotografi mengalami perdebatan panjang untuk di kategorikan sebagai suatu medium Seni Rupa. Pada era Modernisme, fotografi berfungsi sebagai â€˜pelayanâ€™ seniman, sedangkan pada era Postmodernisme seniman sebagai fotografer, dan pada era Seni Kontemporer saat ini, fotografer adalahÂ  seniman. Foto keluarga merupakan artefak dan dokumentasi dari perjalanan sejarahÂ  kehidupan sebuah keluarga dengan segala dinamikanya. Berdasarkan kajian literatur danÂ  kategori Seni Kontemporer Charlotte Cotton maka foto keluarga termasuk di dalam delapanÂ  kategori tersebut, khususnya pada kategori kelima, â€œIntimate Lifeâ€. Pada abad ke-21 ini, kemajuan teknologi digital mempengaruhi kemajuan kameraÂ  dan teknologi percetakan sehingga menghasilkan suatu budaya digital, yang menghasilkan pergeseran paradigma fotografi dari sakral kearah provan sekaligus banal.Kata kunci: Foto Keluarga, Fotografi, Seni Kontemporer, Modernisme, Postmodernisme

Published: October 2017

Eksplorasi material selama ini lebih dikenal sebagai sebuah pendekatan pedagogis dibandingkan sebagai sebuah pendekatan berkreasi. Penitik-beratan perhatian pada upaya untuk mendapatkan nilai kebaruan dalam berkreasi memunculkan pertanyaan â€˜mengapa pendekatan ini tidak digunakan di dunia usaha kerajinan? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, yaitu mengetahui apakah eksplorasi material dapat digunakan sebagai pendekatan berkreasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah fenomenologi melalui pengamatan pada eksperimentasi dengan menggunakan bonggol jagung sebagai bahan baku. Uji penerapan dilakukan pada masyarakat yang tidak memiliki latar belakang pendidikan seni rupa dan desain, yakni karyawan gedung dan petugas administrasi di lingkungan perguruan tinggi ITENAS, Bandung.

Dari Tari ke Musik: Pembentukan Musik Suita Pada Era Musik Barok
Authors: Martiana Pola
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACTSuite as a musical form was composed by many Baroque composers. It was built and based on dances which is popular in the Renaissance or Baroque eras. This paper tries to understand the way composers adapt one form of art to another form, that is from dance to music, which is widely known as ecranisation. To grasp it in depth, this paper firstly describes what dance musics consist in suite. Secondly, it describes the dances which form the dance music. To make it clear, it also describes the essence of dance that makes it possible the transformation from dance to music. The result shows that the transformation does happen because of the abstract essence in dance was transformed into notes in music. This process is revealed by using the method of phenomenology of Maurice Merleau- Ponty.Keywords: music, dance, suite, ecranisation, inspiration, transformation, movement, noteABSTRAKMusik suita yang banyak digubah pada era musik Barok dibangun dari sejumlah gerakan musik yang berasal-usul dari tari-tari yang populer di era Renaisans/ Barok. Tulisan ini berusaha memahami bagaimana komponis mengalihwahanakan seni yang ada: dari tari ke musik. Untuk memahami kejadian itu, penulis memaparkan gerakan musik apa saja yang terdapat di dalam suita, setelah itu dipaparkan tari-tari yang menjadi sumber inspirasi komponis. Setelah didapatkan gambaran lengkap mengenai musik dan tari yang relevan, perlulah dipahami apa yang terdapat di dalam tari sehingga bisa diserap oleh komponis untuk kemudian dikeluarkan kembali dalam bentuk musik. Dari paparan itu terlihatlah bahwa transformasi dari tari ke musik hanya mungkin karena adanya transformasi gagasan abstrak yang terdapat di dalam tari untuk kemudian diekspresikan dalam bentuk nada-nada, dan hal itu semua hanya bisa dipahami dengan menggunakan metode fenomenologi dari Maurice Merleau-Ponty.Kata kunci: musik, tari, suita, alih wahana, inspirasi, transformasi, gerakan, nada

Authors: Sharma Sumitra
Published: October 2017

Background: Sexual minorities are at high risk of contracting and spreading HIV/AIDS. Several studies in Nepal and around the world depict issues of HIV/AIDS and other problems of sexual minorities.Objective: The present study was carried out with the aim to investigate and evaluate knowledge and attitude of sexual minorities regarding HIV/AIDS.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of eight months starting from June 2009. Sixty six respondents accomplished quantitative interviews and face-to-face interviewer-administered demographic, knowledge and attitude of HIV/AIDS survey. Descriptive and inferential analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16. A five point Likert scale was used to assess attitude of the respondents. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to compare the association between knowledge and selected socio-demographic variables. Spearman’s correlation test was used to make out the degree of relationship between knowledge and attitude.Results: Among 66 sexual minorities, 34.84% were gay, 28.78% were transgender, 25.75% were bisexuals and 10.60% were lesbians. Nearly 47% of the respondents showed adequate knowledge with mean knowledge score of 29. With the mean attitude score of 39, 45.5% showed positive attitude towards HIV infection. The findings depicted an association between knowledge and participation of respondents on training/awareness program (p<0.05). Also, data exemplified proportionate relationship between level of knowledge and attitude of a person towards the disease.Conclusion: Existing knowledge among the respondents was enhanced by the influence of training and awareness program.

Analysis of Possible Noise Reduction Arrangements inside Olive Oil Mills: A Case Study
Authors: Pascuzzi Simone , Santoro Francesco
Published: October 2017

Apulia (Southern Italy) is the leading Italian region for the production of olive oil (115 × 106 kg of oil/year), and the olive oil chain is really important from a business point of view. Currently, the extraction of olive oil is essentially performed by using a mechanical pressing process (traditional olive oil mills), or by the centrifugation process (modern olive oil mills). The aim of this paper is to evaluate in detail the noise levels within a typical olive oil mill located in the northern part of the Apulia region during olive oil extraction. The feasibility of this study focusing on the assessment of workers’ exposure to noise was tested in compliance with the Italian-European Regulations and US standards and criteria. Several measurements of the noise emission produced by each machine belonging to the productive cycle were carried out during olive oil production. The results obtained were then used to evaluate possible improvements to carry out in order to achieve better working conditions. An effective reduction in noise could probably be achieved through a combination of different solutions, which obviously have to be assessed not only from a technical point of view but also an economic one. A significant reduction in noise levels could be achieved by increasing the area of the room allotted to the olive oil extraction cycle by removing all the unnecessary partition walls that might be present.
Albatross-Like Utilization of Wind Gradient for Unpowered Flight of Fixed-Wing Aircraft
Authors: Shan Shangqiu , Hou Zhongxi , Zhu Bingjie
Published: October 2017

The endurance of an aircraft can be considerably extended by its exploitation of the hidden energy of a wind gradient, as an albatross does. The process is referred to as dynamic soaring and there are two methods for its implementation, namely, sustainable climbing and the Rayleigh cycle. In this study, the criterion for sustainable climbing was determined, and a bio-inspired method for implementing the Rayleigh cycle in a shear wind was developed. The determined sustainable climbing criterion promises to facilitate the development of an unpowered aircraft and the choice of a more appropriate soaring environment, as was demonstrated in this study. The criterion consists of three factors, namely, the environment, aerodynamics, and wing loading. We develop an intuitive explanation of the Raleigh cycle and analyze the energy mechanics of utilizing a wind gradient in unpowered flight. The energy harvest boundary and extreme power point were determined and used to design a simple bio-inspired guidance strategy for implementing the Rayleigh cycle. The proposed strategy, which involves the tuning of a single parameter, can be easily implemented in real-time applications. In the results and discussions, the effects of each factor on climbing performance are examined and the sensitivity of the aircraft factor is discussed using five examples. Experimental MATLAB simulations of the proposed strategy and the comparison of the results with those of Gauss Pseudospectral Optimization Software confirm the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
Sound Radiation of Aerodynamically Excited Flat Plates into Cavities
Authors: Osterziel Johannes , Zenger Florian , Becker Stefan
Published: October 2017

Flow-induced vibrations and the sound radiation of flexible plate structures of different thickness mounted in a rigid plate are experimentally investigated. Therefore, flow properties and turbulent boundary layer parameters are determined through measurements with a hot-wire anemometer in an aeroacoustic wind tunnel. Furthermore, the excitation of the vibrating plate is examined by laser scanning vibrometry. To describe the sound radiation and the sound transmission of the flexible aluminium plates into cavities, a cuboid-shaped room with adjustable volume and 34 flush-mounted microphones is installed at the non flow-excited side of the aluminium plates. Results showed that the sound field inside the cavity is on the one hand dependent on the flow parameters and the plate thickness and on the other hand on the cavity volume which indirectly influences the level and the distribution of the sound pressure behind the flexible plate through different excited modes.

Recently, guided wave (GW)-based non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques have been developed and considered as a potential candidate for integrity assessment of wood structures, such as wood utility poles. However, due to the lack of understanding on wave propagation in such structures, especially under the effect of surroundings such as soil, current GW-based NDE methods fail to properly account for the propagation of GWs and to contribute reliable and correct results. To solve this critical issue, this work investigates the behaviour of wave propagation in the wood utility pole with the consideration of the influence of soil. The commercial finite element (FE) analysis software ANSYS is used to simulate GW propagation in a wood utility pole. In order to verify the numerical findings, the laboratory testing is also conducted in parallel with the numerical results to experimentally verify the effectiveness of developed FE models. Finally, sensitivity analysis is also carried out based on FE models of wood pole under different material properties, boundary conditions and excitation types.

Stainless steel powders with different molybdenum (Mo) contents were deposited on the substrate surface of 45 steel using a 6 kW fiber laser. The microstructure, phase, microhardness, wear properties, and corrosion resistance of coatings with different Mo contents were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester, wear tester, and electrochemical techniques. The results show that good metallurgical bonding was achieved between the stainless steel coating and the substrate. The amount of M7(C, B)3 type borocarbide decreases and that of M2B and M23(C, B)6 type borocarbides increases with the increase of Mo content in the coatings. The amount of martensite decreases, while the amount of ferrite gradually increases with the increase of Mo content. When the Mo content is 4.0 wt. %, Mo2C phase appears in the coating. The microstructure of the coating containing Mo is finer than that of the Mo-free coating. The microhardness decreases and the wear resistance of the coating gradually improves with the increase of Mo content. The wear resistance of the 6.0 wt. % Mo coating is about 3.7 times that of the Mo-free coating. With the increase of Mo content, the corrosion resistance of the coating firstly increases and then decreases. When the Mo content is 2.0 wt. %, the coating has the best corrosion resistance.

The generation of clean renewable energy is becoming increasingly critical, as pollution and global warming threaten the environment in which we live. While there are many different kinds of natural energy that can be harnessed, marine tidal energy offers reliability and predictability. However, harnessing energy from tidal flows is inherently difficult, due to the harsh environment. Current mechanisms used to harness tidal flows center around propeller-based solutions but are particularly prone to failure due to marine fouling from such as encrustations and seaweed entanglement and the corrosion that naturally occurs in sea water. In order to efficiently harness tidal flow energy in a cost-efficient manner, development of a mechanism that is inherently resistant to these harsh conditions is required. One such mechanism is a simple oscillatory-type mechanism based on robotic fish tail fin technology. This uses the physical phenomenon of vortex-induced oscillation, in which water currents flowing around an object induce transverse motion. We consider two specific types of oscillators, firstly a wing-type oscillator, in which the optimal elastic modulus is being sort. Secondly, the optimal selection of shape from 6 basic shapes for a reciprocating oscillating head-type oscillator. A numerical analysis tool for fluid structure-coupled problems—ANSYS—was used to select the optimum softness of material for the first type of oscillator and the best shape for the second type of oscillator, based on the exhibition of high lift coefficients. For a wing-type oscillator, an optimum elastic modulus for an air-foil was found. For a self-induced vibration-type mechanism, based on analysis of vorticity and velocity distribution, a square-shaped head exhibited a lift coefficient of more than two times that of a cylindrically shaped head. Analysis of the flow field clearly showed that the discontinuous flow caused by a square-headed oscillator results in higher lift coefficients due to intense vortex shedding, and that stable operation can be achieved by selecting the optimum length to width ratio.
Statistical Characterization of the State-of-Health of Lithium-Ion Batteries with Weibull Distribution Function—A Consideration of Random Effect Model in Charge Capacity Decay Estimation

Published: October 2017

Effective prognosis of lithium-ion batteries involves the inclusion of the influences of uncertainties that can be incorporated through random effect parameters in a nonlinear mixed effect degradation model framework. This study is geared towards the estimation of the reliability of lithium-ion batteries, using parametric effects determination involving uncertainty, using a multiphase decay patterned sigmoidal model, experimental data and the Weibull distribution function. The random effect model, which uses Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and Stochastic Approximation Expectation Maximization (SAEM) algorithm to predict the parametric values, was found to estimate the remaining useful life (RUL) to an accuracy of more than 98%. The State-of-Health (SOH) of the batteries was estimated using the Weibull distribution function, which is found to be an appropriate formulation to use.
Whites but Not Blacks Gain Life Expectancy from Social Contacts
Authors: Assari Shervin
Published: October 2017

Background. Recent research suggests that the health gain from economic resources and psychological assets may be systematically larger for Whites than Blacks. Aim. This study aimed to assess whether the life expectancy gain associated with social contacts over a long follow up differs for Blacks and Whites. Methods. Data came from the Americans’ Changing Lives (ACL) Study, 1986–2011. The sample was a nationally representative sample of American adults 25 and older, who were followed for up to 25 years (n = 3361). Outcome was all-cause mortality. The main predictor was social contacts defined as number of regular visits with friends, relatives, and neighbors. Baseline demographics (age and gender), socioeconomic status (education, income, and employment), health behaviors (smoking and drinking), and health (chronic medical conditions, obesity, and depressive symptoms) were controlled. Race was the focal moderator. Cox proportional hazard models were used in the pooled sample and based on race. Results. More social contacts predicted higher life expectancy in the pooled sample. A significant interaction was found between race and social contacts, suggesting that the protective effect of more social contacts is smaller for Blacks than Whites. In stratified models, more social contacts predicted an increased life expectancy for Whites but not Blacks. Conclusion. Social contacts increase life expectancy for White but not Black Americans. This study introduces social contacts as another social resource that differentially affects health of Whites and Blacks.

In this paper, we present a design and optical simulation of a daylighting system using a novel design of linear Fresnel lens, which is constructed based on the conservation of optical path length and edge ray theorem. The linear Fresnel lens can achieve a high uniformity by using a new idea of design in which each groove of the lens distributes sunlight uniformly over the receiver so that the whole lens also uniformly distributes sunlight over the receiver. In this daylighting system, the novel design of linear Fresnel lens significantly improves the uniformity of collector and distributor. Therefore, it can help to improve the performance of the daylighting system. The structure of the linear Fresnel lenses is designed by using Matlab. Then, the structure of lenses is appreciated by ray tracing in LightToolsTM to find out the optimum lens shape. In addition, the simulation is performed by using LightToolsTM to estimate the efficiency of the daylighting system. The results show that the designed collector can achieve the efficiency of ~80% with the tolerance of ~0.60 and the concentration ratio of 340 times, while the designed distributor can reach a high uniformity of >90%.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a piezoelectric material with outstanding physical and mechanical properties. The piezoelectric properties depend on the β-phase content of this polymer, while the physical and mechanical properties depend on the morphology and degree of crystallinity of the material. Silver has antibacterial effects, and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have large surface areas rich in electrons. In this paper, we produced electrospun PVDF fibrous mats that contained different contents of Ag-NPs between 0% and 1.0%. The β-content in PVDF was found to increase by about 8% for Ag-NPs content of 0.4–0.6%. The electrospun fiber mats had a higher β-crystalline content, nano-pores were visible on the fiber surfaces, and the tensile strength and thermal stability were improved. Dielectric analysis indicated weak interfacial adhesion between the PVDF and Ag-NPs. Good piezoelectric response was observed in the electrospun fibers containing 0.4% AgNPs, which shows a good correlation between the β-crystalline phase content of the composites and its energy-harvesting application.

The effect of Cu or Cu-Pt nanoparticles in TiO2 photocatalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis in one step was investigated in hydrogen production from methanol photo-steam reforming. Two series of titanium dioxide photocatalysts were prepared, containing either (i) Cu nanoparticles (0.05–0.5 wt%) or (ii) both Cu (0 to 0.5 wt%) and Pt (0.5 wt%) nanoparticles. In addition, three photocatalysts obtained either by grafting copper and/or by depositing platinum by wet methods on flame-made TiO2 were also investigated. High hydrogen production rates were attained with copper-containing photocatalysts, though their photoactivity decreased with increasing Cu loading, whereas the photocatalysts containing both Cu and Pt nanoparticles exhibit a bell-shaped photoactivity trend with increasing copper content, the highest hydrogen production rate being attained with the photocatalyst containing 0.05 wt% Cu.
