Implementation of the Basel III and its effect on Bahrain’s banking sector.
Authors: Althawadi Maryam Abdulla , Kukreja Gagan
Published: October 2017

The financial crisis which occurred in 2007 and 2008 has had a major impact on the global banking industry. As a result, many banks went bankrupt or the governments had bailed them out. Thus, to protect banks against such a situation, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) had scrutinized and altered the banking regulations, termed as the Basel III. The purpose of this study is to analyse the Basel III paradigm and its impact on the banks’ financial health of Bahrain. This kind of study will enhance the understanding of Basel III and its impact on banking sector for researchers of GCC in general and Bahrain in particular. The approach of the study is qualitative, whereas the theoretical framework has been used in the literature review. The empirical results were acquired from the interviews of various personnel from banks in Bahrain to gauge their perspective on Basel III paradigm. The overall perspectives of the banking personnel about Basel III were that it should have more stringent requirements. In this case, the capital requirements are considered to be too low and the risk weights are too unrealistic. However, majority of the banking personnel are still optimistic that Basel III does grant superior protection, but it doesn’t provide complete protection against the chance of failure. According to the research findings, majority of respondents were optimistic and feel that it does help in protecting the banks, while others consider it completely useless and failed to prevent failures.
Executive remuneration and company performance
Authors: Ndlovu Vuyani , Mutambara Emmanuel , Assensoh-Kodua Akwesi
Published: October 2017

Executive remuneration has been the subject of close scrutiny, huge public outcries and criticisms in the recent past in South Africa. This has invariably attracted unprecedented research interest across different sectors of the economy. Various studies on executive remuneration versus corporate performance have been conducted across South African companies with no finite consensus. This study joins the debate with the hope of reaching common understanding on the relationship between the two variables. The study seeks to investigate the relationship between CEO remuneration and company performance on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Listed (JSE) Companies from 2010 to 2015. In particular, the focus of the study was to determine if these two constructs were correlated and aligned with the corporate governance principles. The study, employed a deductive methodological approach, based on a longitudinal, descriptive quantitative design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the actively listed companies that met the prescribed criteria. Secondary data, sourced from McGregor BFA database was used for the study. Data analysis took an archival quantitative research approach. Regression and time series statistical analyses were performed on secondary data on CEO remuneration and company performance metrics. The findings confirmed the existence of a positive relationship between CEO remuneration and company performance in South Africa as hinted by previous studies
Structural and electrical characteristics of gallium modified PZT ceramics
Authors: Sharma Pulkit , Hajra Sugato , Sahoo Sushrisangita , Rout Pravat , Choudhary Ram
Published: October 2017

In the present paper, the gallium modified lead zirconate titanate ceramics
with Zr/Ti = 48/52 (near the morphotropic phase boundary,MPB), having a
chemical formula Pb0.98Ga0.02(Zr0.48Ti0.52)0.995O3, was synthesized by a
mixed-oxide reaction method and sintered. Analysis of phase formation
confirmed the co-existence of two phases (tetragonal and monoclinic
symmetry) in the system. Microstructural study by scanning electron
microscope showed a non-uniform distribution of large grains over the sample
surface and presence of a small amount of micro-size pores. Modulus and
impedance studies were carried out at various frequencies (1 kHz-1MHz) and
temperatures (300-350?C) and showed the contributions of grains in
capacitive and resistive properties of the material. The resistance and
capacitance of the complex impedance plots are contributed by grains as
observed from the Nyquist plots. The experimental data obtained from the
Nyquist plot were implemented in an equivalent electrical circuit (RQC). The
value of grain resistance and capacitance were obtained using fitting steps
with precision at all temperatures. It is assumed that increase of
dielectric constant at higher temperatures is due to the substitution of Ga+
ions at the Pb-site.

Authors: Liang Sen , Zhang Xiao , Li Haibo , Luo Min , Gao Mangmang
Published: October 2017

The glass fibre reinforced nano-SiO2 composites (with up to 40 wt.% of glass
fibres) as insulating materials were fabricated firstly by preparing aligned
glass fibres under the ice formation followed by pressing and annealing.
Scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed the presence of parallel
distribution of glass fibres in certain direction. The low-temperature
nitrogen adsorption and mercury intrusion measurements showed that the
composites have mesoporous structure with the mean pore size less than 20 nm.
Further, it was found that the compressive strength and thermal conductivity
of composite were 15.1MPa and 0.0585W/(m?K), respectively.
Processing of composites based on NiO, samarium-doped ceria and carbonates (NiO-SDCC) as anode support for solid oxide fuel cells
Authors: Mahmud Lily , Muchtar Andanastuti , Rao Somalu , Jais Abdul
Published: October 2017

NiO-SDCC composites consisting of NiO mixed with Sm-doped ceria (SDC) and
carbonates (Li2CO3 and Na2CO3) were sintered at different temperatures and
reduced at 550?C. The influence of reduction on structure of the NiO-SDCC
anode support for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) was investigated. Raman
spectra of the NiO-SDCC samples sintered at 500, 600 and 700?C showed that
after reducing at 550?C NiO was reduced to Ni. In addition, SDC and
carbonates (Li2CO3 and Na2CO3) did not undergo chemical transformation after
reduction and were still detected in the samples. However, no Raman modes of
carbonates were identified in the NiO-SDCC pellet sintered at 1000?C and
reduced at 550?C. It is suspected that carbonates were decomposed at high
sintering temperature and eliminated due to the reaction between the CO3 2-
and hydrogen ions during reduction in humidified gases at 550?C. The
carbonate decomposition increased porosity in the Ni-SDCC pellets and
consequently caused formation of brittle and fragile structure unappropriated
for SOFC application. Because of that composite NiO-SDC samples without
carbonates were also analysed to determine the factors affecting the crack
formation. In addition, it was shown that the different reduction
temperatures also influenced the microstructure and porosity of the pellets.
Thus, it was observed that Ni-SDC pellet reduced at 800 ?C has higher
electrical conductivity of well-connected microstructures and sufficient
porosity than the pellet reduced at 550?C.

Numerical Investigation of Cold Thermal Energy Storage Using Phase Change Material in Freezer
Authors: Zarajabad Omid Ghahramani , Ahmadi Rouhollah , Ghaffari Saeed
Published: October 2017

Freezer is one of the electrical components that can be found in any building. Like any electrical appliance domestic freezer consumes a significant amount of energy during its working time. During recent decades a lot of solutions have been found to reduce this energy consumption. One of the most usable and appropriate ones is implementation of phase change material (PCM) in a Cold Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) system which can be installed in a household freezers. In this paper numerical investigation of using CTES system in a domestic freezer in order to diminish energy consumption during pick hours (18-22:30), is studied. Regard to the temperature ranges of the freezer, NaCl-H2O is used as a PCM in the CTES system. In a distinct period of time, a large amount of cold thermal energy in latent heat form is stored at low temperature in the PCM, and it is released in the freezer’s cabin when the compressor is off. Accordingly, numerical modeling and simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software on charging and discharging cycle of PCM are done to measure cold storage period and amount of saved energy. The results reveal that using CTES could keep the freezer in the standard thermal condition without using a compressor, for 4.5 hours. These results show that if the PCM used in CTES system for a year, it could reduce energy, fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emission up to 45.7 kWh, 13.7 liters and 32.0 kg, respectively.

Authors: Nikiforov Vladimir Grigorievich , Neslukhov Dmitry Sergeevich
Published: October 2017

The article overviews the problems related with the cyclicality in certain sectors of the economy - shipbuilding and shipping. The modern trends of development of the world shipbuilding market have been analyzed. The article presents a typology of the world countries by shipbuilding market segments. The authors give a description of the shipbuilding markets in the USA, Europe and South-East Asia. Based on the data on the dynamics of the Baltic Dry Index and the dynamics of the world tonnage on order, it was concluded that the world shipbuilding industry depends on shipping activity and there is cyclical nature of their development. The authors propose a schematic illustration of the economic cycle of the shipbuilding market depending on the volumes of maritime trade. The cycle of the shipbuilding market consists of successive steps. The change of steps depends on the balance of supply and demand for shipbuilding products. The article considers the Kondratieff waves and their connection with the development of technological modes. The authors made a retrospective analysis of the development of the world shipbuilding industry from 1741 and suggested three economic cycles in shipbuilding. Based on data on the dynamics of world shipbuilding launches, from 1902-2007, the authors suggest five periods of development in organization of shipbuilding production in the XX century. The factors influencing the change of periods have been given. The conclusions drawn by the authors are the basis for assumptions about the development trends of the world shipbuilding industry for the coming years, and also for the medium term. A number of modern technological solutions in the organization of shipbuilding production have been defined.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE STUDY OF HERMENEUTICS OF EFFICIENCY CATEGORY IN TERMS OF EVOLUTION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Authors: Bazueva Elena Valerievna
Published: October 2017

Currently, in economics, there can be seen a generation of different models, mechanisms and methodologies for analyzing the content of the efficiency category. In these conditions, many researchers are still trying to justify the need to unify approaches to its definition. The article shows the differentiation of approaches to the hermeneutic of the effectiveness category determined by the stages of the evolution of scientific knowledge (classical, nonclassical, post-nonclassical) and by complication of the object of study (the development of a simple, self-regulating and self-developing complex systems). For this purpose, the following approaches to epistemology are used: hermeneutical, systemic, and dialectical. The author states that mechanical picture of the world, which is the basis of the categorical grid of the description of simple systems, typical of the classical stage of the science evolution, has determined the development of the reductionist idea about the effectiveness as the effectivity (Walras approach). The emergence of the ideas of probabilistic and objective causality at neo-classical stage of the development of scientific knowledge made it possible to complement the concept of efficiency as the effectivity by using interpersonal comparisons of utility (Pigou approach) and methodological relativity principle (Pareto approach). The determination by objective reality, characteristic of the modern (post-nonclassical) stage of the development of scientific knowledge, predetermined including social and ethical-legal aspects in the content of the efficiency category and the possibility of applying two approaches to its hermeneutics: efficiency as effectivity and efficiency as effectiveness. The application of efficiency category as an integrated element of management system (performance), which synthesizes the categories of effectivity, effectiveness and quality, is associated with the necessity to reflect scientific concepts, which is the second feature of the post-nonclassical stage. The selection of various types of efficiency (internal and external, potential and actual, static and dynamic) is associated with the complication of the research object - the development of complex self-developing systems. The conclusion is that at the present time the determinant of quality is the defining element in the interpretation of the efficiency category (performance), characterized by the quantitative certainty.

Imperialismo macedônio e colonialismo francês: o mundo helenístico de Pierre Jouguet
Authors: Biazotto Thiago do Amaral
Published: October 2017

O helenista francês Pierre Jouguet (1896 – 1949) publicou seu estudo sobre Alexandre Magno e o Mundo Helenístico em 1926. De título L’impérialisme macédonien et l’hellénisation de l’Orient, a obra carrega matizes imperialistas modernos, presentes, em especial, quando Jouguet aborda os contatos culturais entre grego-macedônios e autóctones, limitados, em seu entendimento, a uma inconteste helenização dos últimos. Desta forma, este artigo discutirá a possibilidade de Jouguet projetar os anseios imperialistas da França moderna para o Mundo Antigo, notadamente quando são discutidas as relações culturais e o protagonismo das cidades gregas em sua obra.
O sistema alexandrino e o sistema epicurista na filosofia da história do jovem Marx
Authors: Vieira Júlia Lemos
Published: October 2017

Nos Cadernos preparatórios de sua Tese de Doutorado intitulada Diferença entre as filosofias de Demócrito e Epicuro, esboçados em 1839, Marx se contrapôs a um conteúdo teológico em Hegel através de uma crítica à tendência tradicional da filosofia em teologizar-se dada numa revisão do ocaso da filosofia grega em dois sistemas opostos. O primeiro teria sido o misticismo da filosofia alexandrina; o segundo, o atomismo epicurista que desenvolveu uma dialética peculiar. Sugerindo uma filosofia da história alternativa à de Hegel, Marx pretendia indicar que a democracia não sofreu ocaso na Grécia por conta do desenvolvimento da razão genuinamente filosófica, e sim por conta da vitória da razão filosófica tergiversada em teologia. Era preciso, neste sentido, resgatar a filosofia do sistema epicurista.

Authors: Guerra Lolita Guimarães
Published: October 2017

A composição dos Hieroì Lógoi de Élio Aristides (c. 170 E.C.), debatida pela historiografia e pelos estudos clássicos, sinaliza elementos importantes sobre sua especificidade em meio à totalidade dos discursos do autor. A partir da tradição retórica e por meio do gênero da aretalogia e da autobiografia, o autor pretende oferecer um discurso autêntico e enaltecer Asclépio, deus ao qual se oferece como devoto, como paciente e como pupilo. Neste artigo, com o interesse de instrumentalizar o aprofundamento das investigações em torno dessa obra ainda pouco estudada no Brasil, apresentamos um extenso levantamento de seus manuscritos, edições e traduções. Além disso, discutimos alguns problemas relevantes sobre sua condição enquanto documento histórico, principalmente em torno de sua identidade e dos processos de sua composição.

Between Seas and Deserts
Authors: Dadoune Yosef-Joseph
Published: October 2017

Brought by his French mother, who was born and raised in French Algeria, Joseph Dadoune was dragged from place to place by her loves and whims, following a detour in Southern France and ending up in Ofakim, Israel. This is where Yosef-Joseph Dadoune was thrown at the age of 6. Ofakim would become the last stage of her tortured life and of her violent and chaotic spiritual quest. The only possible escape route for Dadoune is artistic creation. It is thanks to that expression that he can try to face the demons that haunt him, the anger and the frustration that animate him.

Ofakim, like Netivot and Sderot, was created from scratch to guarantee a continuity of settlement along the border with Gaza. It was created out of purely strategic and geopolitical interest; they were all sacrificed to the Zionist ideology. Stuck between two military bases and a giant waste dump, Ofakim survived until the 1980s with a textile industry that has since disappeared. Unemployment and the geographical, economic and political distance of this ‘urban’ ghost are such that the city is now under trusteeship, managed by a public administrator. A small industrial zone still survives, generating income not for Ofakim but to the surrounding kibbutz community, owners of the land.
Political Agency: The Subject and the Citizen in the Time of Neoliberal Global Capitalism
Authors: Gržinić Marina
Published: October 2017

Today the notion of the ‘subject’ in the first capitalist world is reserved only for the citizens (fully acknowledged) as such of the first capitalist neoliberal world. Therefore the ‘old’ political ‘subjects’ are seen as a form of an archaic subjectivity and delegated to the so-called third worlds’ capitalisms. The consequences are terminal regarding political agency. Or to reformulate this going back to the most significant shift in the historicization of capitalism, the shift from biocapitalism to necrocapitalism (the shift, break and simultaneity of biopolitics and necropolitics and as well biopower and necropower), we see a twofold mechanism at work. First, if necropolitics presents a new mode of governmentality for neoliberal global capitalism that is a decision over the administration of death (as being opposed to biopolitics as a control over life) then we must ask in which concrete, political, economic and social ideological situation the sovereign decision over death without impunity is normalized and accepted. Second, who are those that are ‘selected’ and targeted as the goal of this necro ‘sovereign’ decision? The answers will pull a paradoxical difference inside the notion of the subject and as well respond to why any demand regarding political subjectivities in the time of a neoliberal global capitalism seems a bad joke and something obsolete.

Decolonial Articulation of Potentiality: On Opening and Going Beyond to the Figure of “Becoming the Negro of the World”
Authors: Cvar Nina
Published: October 2017

As stated by Giorgio Agamben, in Western philosophy, potentiality is part of a very long tradition. Potentiality represents one of the central concepts of Western philosophy, already claiming this status with Aristotle, who posited potentiality against actuality, framing it into a specific register of knowledge, to a specific mode of anthropogenesis, to an anthropological machine. However, what does this mean for the politics of potentiality, if, as shown by Marina Gržinić in her book Estetika kibersveta in učinki derealizacije [Aaesthetics of the Cyber World and Effects of Derealisation], in the chapter Zunaj biti [Beyond Being], potentiality is thematised through the tradition of metaphysics as a process that never really comes to an end, incessantly deciding upon what counts as human and what does not. In this respect the aim of this text is threefold: first, to suggest that potentiality is to be examined within the context of the process of anthropogenesis as put forward by Agamben in The Open: Man and Animal; second, in order to show their inadequacy, to critically evaluate political ontologies of potentiality within the Western anthropological machine; third, following Achille Mbembe’s political figure of “becoming the Negro of the world”, to (de)articulate the concept of potentiality, consequently positing it beyond the Western anthropological machine and offering its decolonial articulation.
Melting temperature of iron at high pressure: statistical moment method approach
Authors: Thi Hai Tran
Published: October 2017

The pressure effects on melting temperatures of iron have been studied based on the combination of the modified Lindemann criterion with statistical moment method in quantum statistical mechanics. Numerical calculations have been performed up to pressure 150 GPa. Our results are in good and reasonable agreements with available experimental data. This approach gives us a relatively simple method for qualitatively calculating high-pressure melting temperature. Moreover, it can be used to verify future experimental and theoretical works. This research proposes the potential of the combination of statistical moment method and the modified Lindemann criterion on predicting high-pressure melting of materials.
A comparative study of enhancements of critical temperature in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors
Authors: Tran Duc , Duong Nhan Thi Thanh , Le Tien Minh , Nguyen Duong Phuc , Nguyen Man Khac
Published: October 2017

In this work, the effects of sintering temperature and Na subtitution on zero critical temperature (Tc,0) in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors were investigated. The Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xNaxCu3O10+d bulk samples with x = 0.00 and 0.05 (BPSCCO) were prepared by using the solid state reaction technique at elevated sintering temperatures of 840 and 850oC. To examine the improvements of structural and superconducting properties of the BPSCCO samples, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and DC resistance versus temperature (R-T) measurements were carried out. The experimental findings exhibit a co-existence of the high Tc (Bi-2223) and low Tc (Bi-2212) phases in all samples. The estimated volume fraction of the Bi-2223 phase was increased from 71.4 to 75.7%, and the average size of the Bi-2223 grains was enlarged from 4.5 to 9.8 mm as changing the sample preparation conditions. The improved connectivities between the Bi-2223 grains were also obtained by quantitively analyzing the relation between Tc,0 and residual resistance ratio (RRR). These improvements were likely to be reasons for the enhancements of Tc,0 in the BPSCCO samples.
Characterization of Humidity Sensing of Polymeric Graphene-Quantum-Dots composites incorporated with silver nanowires
Authors: Nguyen Nang Dinh , Long Lam Minh , Thu Hoang Thi , Phong Huynh Tri , Trung Tran Quang
Published: October 2017

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were synthesized and incorporated with polyethylenedioxythiophene:poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), Ag  nanowires (AgNWs) to form a composite that can be used for enhancement of relative humidity (RH%) sensing. The composite films contained bulk heterojunctions of AgNW/GQD and AgNW/PEDOT:PSS. The sensors made from the composites responded well to relative humidity in a range from 10% to 50% at room temperature. With  an AgNWs content ranging from 0.2 wt.% to 0.4 wt.%  and 0.6 wt.%, the sensitivity of the relative humidity sensing devices based on AgNWs-doped GQDs+PEDOT:PSS composites was increased from 5.5% to 6.5 % and 15.2 %, respectively. The response time of the composite sensors was much improved due to AgNWs doping in the composites. For the 0.6 wt.% AgNWs-doped GQDs+PEDOT:PSS films, the best value of the recovery time was found to be of 30 s.
Study the corrosion inhibition of mix of caffeine and iodua for CT3 steel in 1M HCl solution by electrochemical methods
Authors: Thao Truong
Published: October 2017

Abstract: Corrosion inhibition of mild carbon steel, CT3,  in 1.0 M HCl solution by iodide  (with different concentrations, from 0.1g/l to 5.0g/l), mix of caffeine and iodide was investigated by electrochemical methods and micro surface observations (SEM). Experiment result showed that: (1) as the concentration of iodide increases, the inhibition efficiency increases;  Iodide acts as a mix – type inhibitor but inhibits anodic reaction is predominant. (2) Mix of 1.0 g/l iodide ang caffeine acts as a typical mix – type inhibitor. the current densities of both of anodic and cathode are decline when concentration of caffeine is 1.0 g/l or more. Inhibition efficiency max is approximately 96% at concentration of 5.0 g/l caffeine, the inhibition efficiency maintained relatively stable within 5 days.
Chính sách "gác tranh chấp cùng khai thác" của Trung Quốc ở biển Đông và giải pháp cho Việt Nam
Authors: Diến Nguyễn Bá , Hùng Cường Nguyễn
Published: October 2017

Hợp tác cùng phát triển (khai thác chung) trên thực tế, là nhu cầu và cũng là giải pháp phù hợp có thể áp dụng cho việc giải quyết tranh chấp tại một số khu vực ở Biển Đông hiện nay. Tuy nhiên, Việt Nam phải hết sức thận trọng và nhận diện rõ tham vọng của Trung Quốc ẩn sau chính sách “gác tranh chấp cũng khai thác”. Bài viết trình bày tổng quan về chính sách “gác tranh chấp cùng khai thác” này từ sự hình thành cho đến những nội dung cơ bản của chính sách. Từ đó, đề xuất các giải pháp cho Việt Nam để thực hiện hợp tác cùng phát triển (tiến hành khai thác chung) tại Biển Đông nhưng vẫn giữ vững chủ quyền của Việt Nam và các bên tranh chấp khác. Việt Nam sẽ chỉ tiến hành khai thác chung trên cơ sở Trung Quốc tôn trọng chủ quyền của Việt Nam đối với hai quần đảo Hoàng Sa và Trường Sa cũng như quyền chủ quyền và quyền tài phán của Việt Nam đối với vùng đặc đặc quyền kinh tế và thềm lục địa theo Công ước Luật Biển năm 1982
Remote-3DD: un nuevo método para la detección de homólogos remotos que usa propiedades fisicoquímicas
Authors: Bedoya Oscar F.
Published: October 2017

En este artículo se presenta un nuevo método para la detección de homólogos remotos, llamado remote-3DD, que combina mapas de contacto predichos y una distribución de los valores en las matrices de interacción. Los mapas de contacto predichos son una aproximación de la forma 3D de proteína que se puede obtener a partir de su estructura primaria. Por su parte, una matriz de interacción permite representar una proteína a partir de las propiedades fisicoquímicas de los aminoácidos que la conforman. Remote-3DD se propone como una estrategia para mejorar la exactitud del método remote-C3D en el cual se utilizan solamente mapas de contacto. La hipótesis que se plantea en este artículo es que se puede mejorar la exactitud del método remote-C3D al incorporar las distribuciones de la matriz de interacción. Los resultados de las pruebas muestran que el método remote-3DD alcanza una exactitud mayor que los métodos basados en composición y en algunos casos una exactitud comparable con los métodos basados en perfiles. Además, las pruebas permiten demostrar que el método remote-3DD, en general, presenta exactitudes mayores que el método remote-C3D cuando se utiliza la misma cantidad de modelos y tamaños de submatrices.
Identificación de intención de movimiento de marcha sobre diferentes terrenos –una aproximación bioinspirada
Authors: Campo Oscar , Caicedo Eduardo F.
Published: October 2017

En este documento se propone una aproximación al entendimiento del lenguaje neuromotor de una persona con una amputación por encima de rodilla, mediante la identificación de su intención de movimiento a partir de la percepción de las manifestaciones tanto internas como externas de los Patrones de Acción Fija (PAF) mediante el uso de una propiocepción artificial y la exterocepción de su prótesis durante el desarrollo de diferentes gestos (marcha, subir y bajar escaleras y subir y bajar rampas). Se presentan la formalización de una expresión General del Gesto Rítmico, los procedimientos para la generación de PAF artificiales y un Algoritmo de Respuesta ante el Desarrollo de Gestos. Mediante la identificación de la intención del usuario a través de la información propioceptiva y exteroceptiva, la prótesis discrimina entre un repertorio de PAF artificiales y selecciona el más adecuado para satisfacer las necesidades de movimiento del usuario. Los datos experimentales de las pruebas desarrolladas en individuos sanos y amputados mostraron un alto desempeño en la identificación de la intención del usuario (97.06% de identificaciones correctas) y un buen seguimiento de los gestos de movimiento independientemente de la velocidad con que fueron ejecutados.
Propuesta de una metodología de simulación muestral para el cálculo de índices de fiabilidad
Authors: Batista Rodríguez Carlos R. , Urquiza Salgado Rosa I.
Published: October 2017

En el trabajo se hace una propuesta de algoritmo para la simulación de muestras poblacionales basado en los métodos de Monte Carlo y Bootstrap, cuando el tamaño de la muestra no es representativo para el universo estudiado. Tal necesidad es característica en las investigaciones de procesos o eventos cuyo intervalo de ocurrencia es muy amplio. En el trabajo se desarrolla un ejemplo a partir de datos reales recolectados de una máquina cosechadora a la cual se le calculó el índice de fiabilidad Vida Útil Gamma a uno de sus elementos hidráulicos. La implementación del algoritmo se desarrolló con el asistente matemático MATLAB y el diagrama de cálculos se muestra en el trabajo. Del análisis de los resultados se concluye que para investigaciones donde el tamaño de la muestra no sea representativa es útil aplicar la metodología propuesta para la estimación de las funciones de distribución necesarias y con ello estimar los intervalos de confianza de los indicadores buscados.
FRAUD: KAJIAN TERHADAP LIRIK LAGU “TIKUS-TIKUS KANTOR” - KARYA IWAN FALS

Abstrak Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan maksud untuk mengetahui pesan dari Fraud  dalam lirik lagu Tikus-Tikus Kantor. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah studi perpustakaan dan penelurusan literature dengan internet. Penelitian  ini  dilakukan  menggunakan  paradigma  kritis  dengan  pendekatan teori  tindakan  komunikatif  Habermas.  Menurut Habermas  transformasi sosial perlu diperjuangkan melalui ‘dialog-dialog emansipatoris’. Era masyarakat modern, diperlukan suatu komunikasi yang bebas dari penguasaan untuk mewujudkan masyarakat yang demokratis.  Hanya melalui ‘jalan komunikasi’ dan bukan melalui ‘jalan dominasi’ inilah diutopikan terwujudnya suatu masyarakat demokratis radikal, yaitu masyarakat yang berinteraksi dalam susasana ‘komunikasi bebas dari penguasaan’. Seperti kritik yang dilakukan oleh Iwan Fals dalam melakukan jalan komunikasi dalam rangka melihat realitas yang terjadi di masyarakat. Kata Kunci : Fraud,  Kebutuhan, Kesempatan, Rasionalisasi

Keser bojong: Idealisasi Pencitraan Jaipongan Karya Gugum Gumbira
Authors: Mulyadi Edi , Ramlan Lalan
Published: October 2017

Gugum Gumbiraâ€™s Jaipongan as a dance genre has been more than ten repertoires, among oth- ers, are: Keser Bojong, Rendeng Bojong, Toka-Toka, Iring-Iring Daun Puring, Setra Sari, Senggot, Sonteng, Ringkang Gumiwang, Pencug Bojong, Rawayan, Kawung Anten, etc. However, among those works, Gugum Gumbira states his Keser Bojongâ€™s dance repertoire as having the most ideal image. The question is, what aspects build that ideal image? Clearly, this is related to various value dimensions attributed to that dance repertoire. To discuss this issue, the writers use Richard E. Palmerâ€™s Hermeneutics as interpretation system to reveal the â€œhiddenâ€ meaning beyond the texts (1969: 16-31). The scope of discussion covers dimension of concept and dance construction as well as other artistic devices.Â Keywords: Jaipongan, Keser Bojong, Image, Gugum Gumbira.Â
