Pemetaan Kebutuhan Bahasa Inggris pada Masyarakat Daerah Potensi Wisata Kabupaten Bangka Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung
Authors: Afifulloh M.
Published: June 2018

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan kapasitas dan kemampuan bahasa Inggris masyarakat dibeberapa lokasi wisata di kabupaten Bangka. Penelitian ini juga memetakan kebutuhan masyarakat akan bahasa Inggris sebagai keterampilan/kemampuan penunjang dalam upaya mengoptimalkan performa daerah serta jenis-jenis kemampuan bahasa Inggris yang dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat tersebut.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari hasil observasi, wawancara secara mendalam (depth interview) dan recording. Data diambil dalam kurun waktu 3 bulan yaitu bulan Juli - September 2017 dengan informan terdiri dari pemerintah daerah (dinas pariwisata), aparatur penyelenggara pemerintahan desa, kampung atau kelurahan dan masyarakat umum. Penelitian ini berlokasi di Pantai Matras sekitarnya dan Pantai Rebo sekitarnya.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat potensi wisata di Kabupaten Bangka yaitu daerah pantai Matras rata-rata memiliki kemapuan bahasa Inggris yang rendah sehingga mereka sangat membutuhkan pelatihan khususnya untuk kemampuan berbicara (speaking) dan mendengarkan (listening). Hal ini juga membuktikan bahwa tingkat kebutuhan masyarakat daerah pantai Matras akan bahasa Inggris dalam menunjang pengembangan potensi wisatanya sangat tinggi. Sementara, masyarakat yang tinggal di wilayah pantai Rebo terbagi menjadi dua kelompok yaitu kelompok yang membutuhkan bahasa Inggris (masyarakat yang tinggal di desa Rebo), dan yang tidak menunjukkan minat dan kebutuhan akan bahasa Inggris (masyarakat yang tinggal di pesisir pantai Rebo). Keengganan masyarakat untuk menguasai bahasa Inggris dipicu oleh tingkat pendidikan yang rendah dengan mata pencaharian mayoritas nelayan sehingga mereka tidak memiliki banyak waktu luang dan lebih mementingkan kebutuhan ekonomi saja, serta belum tertatanya potensi wisata yang ada. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukan adanya keinginan yang kuat dari masyarakat akan adanya pelatihan bahasa Inggris secera berkelanjutan meskipun seminggu sekali. Harapan mereka adalah pelatihan tersebut agar difasilitasi oleh pemerintah maupun Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) sehingga mereka bisa belajar dengan gratis. Kata Kunci: Pemetaan, Pariwisata, Kabupaten Bangka, Potensi Wisata Lokal, Bahasa Inggris

Affordances of Rupture and their Enactment: A Framework for Understanding Christian Change
Authors: Freeman Dena
Published: June 2018

This paper moves forward the debate about continuity and rupture in Christian change by approaching it as an empirical rather than theoretical question and interrogating it using a broad comparative method. It argues firstly that different forms of Christianity – Orthodox, Catholic, mainline Protestant and Pentecostal – have cultural logics which offer different affordances of rupture; and secondly that in those cases where Christianity affords rupture, people will perceive this affordance through their own cultural categories and will choose whether and how to enact rupture in a way that is shaped by their existing material circumstances. The approach thus goes beyond currently popular culturalist theorising and seeks to integrate both idealist and materialist perspectives. In so doing it develops an overarching theoretical framework that explains cases of both continuity and rupture and helps to systematically organise the plethora of case studies on Christian change.
Strategies to Personalize and to Depersonalize Donors When Telling about Genetic/Gestational Origins
Authors: Jociles Rubio Maria Isabel , Rivas Ana M. , Álvarez Consuelo
Published: June 2018

What strategies do families who resort to "third-party" reproduction use to deal with donor numbers in stories telling their children and the conversations they have with them on this topic? Families use narratives about the origins that tell their children to build a specific representation of donors, using strategies that vary according to the family model and the type of donation. Few studies deal with the images and representations that families build from donors and transmit to their children through stories about their origins. A qualitative investigation was carried out in Spain between 2013 and 2015 on the dissemination of their genetic or gestational origins to children conceived through assisted reproduction with donors. This article studies families in favor of disclosure who were contacted through associations, blogs, online forums, and the "snowball" method. The analysis has revealed a variety of strategies that parents used in stories with their children regarding reproductive donors.
HADIS SEBAGAI SUMBER HUKUM ISLAM (Telaah Terhadap Penetapan Kesahihan Hadis Sebagai Sumber Hukum Menurut Syafi'iy)
Authors: Yusuf Nasruddin
Published: June 2018

Hadits bukanlah teks suci sebagaimana Al-Quran. Namun, hadits selalu menjadi rujukan kedua setelah Al-Quran dan menempati posisi penting dalam kajian keislaman. Mengingat penulisan hadits yang dilakukan ratusan tahun setelah nabi Muhammad SAW wafat, maka banyak terjadi silang pendapat terhadap keabsahan sebuah hadits. sehingga hal tersebut memunculkan sebagian kelompok meragukan dan mengingkari akan kebenaran hadits sebagai sumber hukum. Tulisan ini akan fokus membahas tentang telaah terhadap penetapan kesahihan hadits sebagai sumber hukum menurut Imam Syafii. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode library research dengan studi analisa teks, karena itu penulis merujuk langsung kitab-kitab yang ditulis oleh Imam Syafi`I dan melakukan perbandingan dengan kitab yang ditulis oleh para muhadits. Temuan dalam riset ini bahwa tentang perdebatan soal keshahihan hadits sebagai sumber hukum dalam Islam, al-Syäfi'iy nampak beıpegang pada pendapat bahwa ketentuan-ketentuan yang ada dalam hadis berada dalam hukum-hukum Alquran; Dengan katalam, hadis Nabı dapat saja menambah hukum yang ada dalam Alquran. Ia mengatakan bahwa wujud perintah yang ada, baik dan alquran maupun hadis, adalah berpangkal dari sumber yang sama, meskipun melalui jalur yang berbeda.
MAFHUM MUWAFAQAH DAN IMPLIKASINYA DALAM ISTINBATH HUKUM
Authors: Wilya Evra
Published: June 2018

Mafhum adalah setiap makna yang dipahami dari suatu lafaz yang makna tersebut berada di ruang lingkup yang tersurat. Persoalan mafhum termasuk dalam pembahasan ushul fikih ketika ulama ushul fikih membahas kaidah-kaidah bahasa dalam rangka memahami kandungan suatu nash. Ulama ushul fikih membagi mafhum kepada dua, yaitu mafhum muwafaqah dan mafhum mukhalafah. Ketika membicarakan mafhum muwafaqah –yang menurut Hanafiyah disebut dengan dilalah al-nash– seluruh ulama kecuali Zhahiriyah sepakat berhujjah dengan mafhum muwafaqah, akan tetapi mereka berbeda pendapat mengenai cara menetapkan hukum melalui mafhum muwafaqah ini. Pendapat pertama menyatakan bahwa penunjukkkan lafaz terhadap mafhum muwafaqah dilakukan melalui cara qiyas, sedangkan pendapat kedua menyatakan bahwa pemahaman terhadap makna-makna tersebut dilakukan melalui dilalah lafaz. Perbedaan mereka ini berpengaruh terhadap hukum yang dihasilkan dalam memahami suatu nash.
RIBA DALAM PERSPEKTIF HADĪS NABI SAW
Authors: Sabir Muhammad
Published: June 2018

Ada dua jenis riba, yakni riba’ nasi’ah dan fadhl. Riba’ nasi’ah berhubungan dengan tambahan atas pinjaman, dan merupakan pertambahan bersyarat yang diperoleh orang yang mengutangkan dari orang yang berutang lantaran penangguhan. Sedangkan riba’ fadhl adalah riba dalam bentuk penukaran uang dengan uang atau barang komsumsi dengan barang komsumsi dengan tambahan. Jadi riba’ fadhl adalah jenis riba yang penukaran suatu benda (komuditas) yang sama namun kualitas dan kuantitasnya berbeda. Maka pada akhirnya ulama memandang bahwa hukum asal riba adalah haram, tidak haram melainkan mubah dan karena itu implikasi kajian ini ialah menyatakan bahwa sangat penting bagi umat Islam untuk mengikuti keyakinan dalam hatinya mana haram dan mengikuti keyakinan dalam hatinya mana tidak haram.

Permasalahan kiblat tiada lain adalah masalah arah, yakni arah ka’bah ke Makkah. Arah ka’bah ini dapat ditentukan dari setiap titik atau tempat di permukaan bumi ini dengan melakukan perhitungan dan pengukuran. Oleh sebab itu perhitungan arah kiblat pada dasarnya adalah perhitungan untuk mengetahui guna menetapkan ke arah mana ka’bah di Makkah itu dilihat dari suatu tempat di permukaan bumi ini sehingga semua gerakan orang yang sedang melaksanakan salat, baik ketika berdiri, ruku’, maupun sujudnya selalu berimpit dengan arah yang menuju ka’bah.
KEDUDUKAN ALAT BUKTI TULISAN TERHADAP PENYELESAIAN PERKARA DI PENGADILAN
Authors: Bukido Rosdalina
Published: June 2018

Pembuktian merupakan salah satu aspek yang sangat penting didatangkan dan disiapkan oleh para pihak (Penggugat dan Tergugat) dalam membuktikan kebenaran suatu peristiwa hukum. Ada bermacam-macam alat bukti yang ada pada proses pembuktian dalam hukum acara perdata yang salah satu di antaranya adalah alat bukti tulisan/surat. Alat bukti ini menempati posisi yang pertama bagi hakim dalam menilai suatu peristiwa hukum yang terjadi di antara para pihak. Alat bukti tulisan mempunyai kekuatan pembuktian yang sempurna jika akta tersebut memenuhi syarat otentisitas yang ditentukan oleh undang-undang, salah satunya harus dibuat oleh atau di hadapan pejabat yang berwenang. Jika persyaratan yang ditentukan oleh undang-undang itu dipenuhi oleh para pihak maka kekuatan hukum pembuktian itu (alat bukti tulisan) sangat menjadi pertimbangan utama hakim dalam mengambil keputusan yang berkaitan dengan pokok perkara yang disidangkan.

IJTIHAD EKSKLUSIF; Telaah Atas Pola Ijtihad 3 Ormas Islam di Indonesia
Authors: Rajafi Ahmad
Published: June 2018

Indonesia adalah negara demokrasi yang mayoritas masyarakatnya muslim. Sejak pasca kemerdekaan hingga saat ini, elit-elit Islam Indonesia sering kali mengedepankan khilafiyyah yang meruncing kepada perpecahan. Idealnya, umat Islam di Indonesia harus terbiasa dengan perbedaan dan bersatu di atas pondasi indahnya perbedaan. Akan tetapi yang menjadi masalah adalah, munculnya eksklusifisme berfatwa dari ormas-ormas Islam yang kemudian melahirkan kegerahan di akar rumput. Dalam hal ini, kalangan elit mungkin sudah terbiasa dengan perbedaan, namun akar rumput belum siap dengan hal di atas. Kasus rokok misalnya, yang menjadi polemik berkepanjangan karena 3 ormas Islam saling berbeda isi fatwanya. Oleh karenanya, apakah ijtihad eksklusif seperti yang penulis maksudkan di atas merupakan sebuah kemaslahatan ataukah merupakan kemudharatan? Benarkah umat Islam Indonesia sudah tidak bisa lagi bersatu untuk mendiskusikan perbedaan? Dan pola apakah yang dapat menjadi alternatif untuk menyatukan kembali umat Islam Indonesia?

Published: June 2018

The main aim of this article is to analyze non-random effect s in galaxy orientation. The result is based on the analysis of the spatial orientations of SDSS (Soloan Digital Sky Survey) galaxies of red shift 0.10000 to 0.1001 (radial velocity: 30000km/s to30030km/) using seventh data released in October 2008. The position angle inclination method is used to find the polar and azimuthal angles of galaxy rotation axes. To analyze the distribution of the polar and azimuthal angle of the galaxy rotation axes and to check for an isotropy or anisotropy the three statistical tests have carried out: chi- square, Fourier and auto correlation. It was done assuming the spatially isotropic distribution to examine non-random effects. It was found that the spin vector orientations of the galaxies in the sample Z1 and Z2 are almost isotropic.Academic Voices Vol.6 2016: 43-46
Real Power Loss Minimization and Voltage Stability Enhancement by Hybridization of Eagle Strategy with Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: June 2018

In this paper, Hybridization of Eagle Strategy (ES) with Particle Swarm Optimization is proposed to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch Problem. Proposed hybridization of Eagle Strategy with Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) enhances the search in rigorous mode. Eagle strategy has been instigating by the foraging behaviour of golden eagles. This stratagem has two important parameters: arbitrary search and exhaustive chase. At first it explores the search space globally, and then in the second case the strategy makes an intensive local search with using an effective local optimizer method. So, Particle Swarm Optimization has been enhanced using ES and employed to solve reactive power optimization problem. In order to appraise the efficiency of the projected EPSO algorithm, it has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus system and compared other reported algorithms. Results show’s that EPSO algorithm is more efficient in plummeting the real power loss and voltage index also enhanced. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 22-34

Authors: Awasthi Janaki , Poudyal Khem Narayan
Published: June 2018

This research work purpose to estimate the daily global solar radiation (GSR) using CMP6 pyranometer at low altitude of Simara Airport (lat. 27°9’33” N and long. 84°58’48” E, Alt.137m respectively). The measured data is used to study the diurnal, monthly, and seasonal variation of GSR. The maximum and minimum value of GSR is found at the spring and winter season respectively. A number of multi linear regression equations were developed to predict the relationship between GSR with one or more combinations of meteorological parameters using the regression technique and calculate the empirical constants from Tiwari & Sangeeta model which is the best empirical model among other tested models. The empirical constants and sunshine hour are utilized to estimate the GSR for the years 2009 and 2010 in the Simara Airport. The annual average solar insolation 4.62 and 4.56 k/m2/day is found at Simara Airport for years 2009 and 2010. The performance of each model was analyzed by calculating Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2) Mean Bias Error (MBE), and Mean Percent Error (MPE). The finding empirical constants 0.30 and 0.52 can be utilized to estimate the GSR where there is no measured data of GSR at similar meteorological sites of Nepal.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 143-150

Application of 30m Resolution SRTM DEM in Nepal
Authors: Jha Raghunath
Published: June 2018

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) or Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is an important data for Raster Analysis in modern GIS. Its use is extremely important for almost all fields of engineering, especially Water Resources Engineering. In Nepal, high-resolution DTM is not available, and often funds are limited to generate high-resolution DTM using modern day technology such as LiDAR or Aerial Photography. As a result most of the works are based on SRTM DEM which is available free of cost. Presently, 1arc second DTM is available in SRTM for Nepalese Territories. In this study, the applicability of 1arc second or 30m resolution SRTM is checked in comparison with the Department of Survey Digital Topographic Map. It is found that SRTM DEM performs better than DEM generated from Data available with Survey Department.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 235-240
Comparison and evaluation of different processing algorithms for the nondestructive testing of fiber-reinforced plastics with pulse thermography
Authors: Popow Vitalij , Budesheim Lars , Gurka Martin
Published: June 2018

When making components out of fiber-reinforced plastics, the composite material itself is formed during the manufacturing of the component, so that suitable methods for process monitoring and quality assurance of each manufactured component regarding its structural integrity are necessary. An alternative approach to the commonly used ultrasonic testing is pulse thermography, which is suitable for the inspection of large areas. But this method is restricted regarding inspection depth, on one side, and thermal contrast and depth resolution with increasing depth, on the other side. In this paper we compare several data processing methods which can be used to overcome the limitations of this method and to optimize the contrast for detection of deeply buried defects. (1) differential absolute contrast, (2) thermographic signal reconstruction, (3) pulse phase thermography, (4) principle component thermography and (5) high order statistics are compared regarding their capability of detecting defects, e. g. delaminations, in different depths. As a measure for the achievable contrast of the different methods designed to detect various defects we compared the respective signal-to-noise-ratio. Additionally, we discuss further approaches for improving the detection capability by applying different evaluation methods in sequence or combining them with image processing methods based on geometric filters. For this purpose a CFRP specimen with 18 artificial defects was examined.

Published: June 2018

The biggest challenge faced by students nowadays and in the future, is how to deal with the increasingly high competition in the world, the increasing number of undergraduate and limited job opportunities. In this kind of situations, the students had to find a creative way and change the approach of being a university graduate looking for a job, to become scholars who can create their own jobs, or even able to create jobs for others.

The purpose of this study was to determine the youth interest on entrepreneurship in Indonesia. It seems that the youth are unaware to see that the job is increasingly difficult to find nowadays. So through this study, researchers wanted to find out what causes youth in Indonesia, reluctant to become an entrepreneur. While being an entrepreneur, the youth can open or create jobs for others and can reduce the level of unemployment in Indonesia.

Self-confidence is an important factor in entrepreneurship. Family environment and quality education also participate in creating interest for youth in entrepreneurship. This research is using basic research method; where researchers will try to link the theories of the existing variables. Thus, researchers can conduct research by distributing questionnaires to the youth throughout Indonesia. This study aims to determine the cause of Indonesian youth lack of interest in entrepreneurship.
