Rancang Bangun Prototype Smart Traffic Light Menggunakan Metode Background Subtraction dan Find Contour

Kemacetan di Indonesia sering terjadi dikota-kota besar. Hal tersebut terjadi dikarenakan banyaknya volume kendaraan yang terus bertambah dan bertambahnya volume kendaaran tersebut tidak sebanding dengan kondisi ruas jalan yang tentunya cepat atau lambat akan terjadi penumpukan sejumlah kendaraan sehingga terjadi kemacetan. Sistem pengaturan lampu lalu lintas (traffict light) dengan menggunakan pengaturan berbasis waktu tetap seperti sekarang ini maka banyak atau sedikit-nya jumlah kendaraan yang berada pada jalur-jalur persimpangan tidak mempengaruhi kinerja lampu lalulintas. Disamping itu kemacetan juga dapat mempengaruhi berbagai macam kegiatan masyarakat karena disamping berdampak pada kelancaran kegiatan masyarakat dan tak kalah pentingnya pada dampak pendapatan masyarakat. Maka pada penelitian ini akan dibuat sebuah perancangan Prototype Smart traffic light untuk mendeteksi tingkat kepadatan kendaraan yang berada pada persimpangan ruas jalan, sehingga dapat memperkirakan ruas jalan mana yang membutuhkan waktu hijau lebih banyak (kondisi ruas jalan padat) dan memperkirakan ruas jalan yang tidak membutuhkan waktu lampu hijau lebih ( kondisi jalan kosong / Sedikit kendaraan ). Dalam pendeteksian tingkat kepadatan kendaraan di traffic light, didapatkan sebuah hasil persentase kepadatan anatar lain 100%, 90%, 70%, 50%, dan 30%. Pada persentase 100% sistem mendeteksi kepadatan jalur sehingga dilakukan penambahan waktu, Persentase 90% sistem mendeteksi kepadatan jalur sehingga dilakukan penambahan waktu. Persentase 70% sistem mendeteksi kepadatan jalur sehingga dilakukan penambahan waktu. Persentase 50% sistem tidak mendeteksi kepadatan jalur sehingga tidak dilakukan penambahan waktu. Persentase 30% sistem tidak mendeteksi kepadatan jalur sehingga tidak dilakukan penambahan waktu

THE ROLE OF LOCAL CULTURE IN ENGLISH SPEAKING CLASSES

This paper aims at finding out a model or a concrete picture of the role of local culture in intercultural communication teaching embedded in English speaking classes. Specifically, this paper studied the first-year-students studying speaking in English Department of Universitas Negeri Semarang and lecturers lecturing speaking lesson in the same university. The study design, method, and approach implemented in this study, respectively, were case study, qualitative, and interdisciplinary. In addition, data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation study, and were validated by using triangulation technique. The collected data were analyzed using interactive model, comprising data reduction, data presentation, and verification. Results showed that the knowledge of culture, both native and foreign one, was embedded in teaching speaking classes of first-year-students in Universitas Negeri Semarang. The local culture itself served as benchmark and departing point of teaching intercultural communication to students. By acting as a benchmark, local culture gave students a standard of what considered acceptable and not acceptable both in native and foreign culture. While as a departing point, local culture served as the initial knowledge of students before getting to understand the concept of international communication further. For teaching speaking in general, local culture which was used as a ground to introduce intercultural communication would be beneficial for teachers to teach polite oral English communication which was acceptable for speakers coming from various nations.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2018.21020

Respon Tingkah Laku Lobster Pasir (Panulirus homarus, Linnaeus, 1758) Terhadap Kontaminasi Bahan Baku Minyak Bumi (Crude Oil)

Tumpahan minyak sering terjadi di perairan dan memiliki dampak negatif terhadap kelangsungan hidup organisme laut, salah satunya Lobster Pasir (Panulirus homarus). Keadaan perairan yang terkontaminasi akan mengakibatkan perubahan tingkah laku hingga terjadinya kematian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola pergerakan dan jumlah pergerakan Panulirus homarus terhadap kontaminasi minyak bumi (crude oil). Pengamatan dilakukan dengan perlakuan penambahan crude oil sebesar 0 ppm, 1 ppm, 5 ppm, ppm, dan 100 ppm yang dilakukan secara kontinyu. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode observasi skala laboratorium menggunakan kamera Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) sebagai instrument utama dalam pengamatan tingkah laku lobster. Lobster yang digunakan adalah lobster jantan dengan ukuran panjang 10-12 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pergerakan lobster meningkat dengan meningkatnya konsentrasi crude oil, namun tidak memiliki pola pergerakan tertentu. Berdasarkan respon tingkah laku yang teramati. Lobster Pasir mulai terganggu pada konsentrasi 5 ppm. Konsentrasi crude oil memiliki hubungan yang cukup erat dengan jumlah pergerakan lobster. Parameter kualitas air yang diduga berperan dalam serangkaian penyebab perubahan pergerakan lobster adalah kandungan oksigen terlarut (DO) yang menurun dengan meningkatnya konsentrasi crude oil
