Simulation of speed control brushless DC motor using gaussian fuzzy logic controller

This paper presents a control scheme of a Fuzzy Logic for the brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives. The BLDC motor has some advantages compare to others type of motors. However, the nonlinearity of this motor drive characteristics cause it is difficult to handle using conventional proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller. In order to overcome this main problem, Fuzzy Logic controller with a Gaussian membership function is developed. The mathematical model of BLDC motor is derived. The controller is designed to tracks variations of speed references and stabilizes the output speed during load variations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by develop simulation model in Matlab Simulink software. The simulation results show that the proposed Fuzzy Logic controller (FLC) produce significant improvement control performance compare to the PID controller for both condition controlling speed reference variations and load disturbance variations

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY HIGHER EDUCATIONAL STUDENTS IN ORAL PRESENTATION OF DAYAK NGAJU LANGUAGE

In an oral presentation of a second language, higher education students commonly face some problems in communication. To overcome these problems, communication strategies are necessary to be employed. In the speaking class of the Dayak Ngaju language course, especially in oral presentation in History of Islamic Civilization Study Program at IAIN Palangka Raya, the students employed communication strategies to overcome the problems in communication. However, most of the students tended to employ certain types of communication strategies in the oral presentation of the Dayak Ngaju language. Furthermore, there were no research reports which had been published regarding the types of communication strategies employed by the students of Dayak Ngaju language as a second language. Thus this study was intended to describe the types of communication strategies employed by the fifth-semester students of History of Islamic Civilization Study Program at IAIN Palangka Raya in oral presentation of Dayak Ngaju language. A descriptive qualitative design was employed in this study. Observation sheets, video recordings, field-notes, and interview guides are the instruments employed in this study. The results of this study showed that the students employed four of five types of communication strategies based on Celce-Murcia’s taxonomy, namely achievement or compensatory strategies, stalling or time-gaining strategies, self-monitoring strategies, and interactional strategies. The most frequent type employed was an achievement or compensatory strategies. Moreover, the most frequent subtype was code-switching.

KOMUNIKASI PERSUASIF DINAS LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DALAM MENCIPTAKAN MASYARAKAT SADAR LINGKUNGAN DI ACEH TENGAH

Manusia sangat membutuhkan lingkungan sebagai tempat untuk melangsungkan kehidupannya. Lingkungan yang baik akan menjadikan manusia nyaman melakukan segala aktivitasnya di muka bumi. Namun, seringkali kerusakan lingkungan terjadi akibat ulah tangan manusia itu sendiri. misalnya saja, membuang sampah rumah tangga sembarangan akan menjadikan keindahan lingkungan menjadi terganggu dikarenakan bau busuk dari sampah serta penyakit yang akan ditimbulkan oleh sampah yang dibuang sembarangan. Selain itu, keindahan Kota juga akan berkurang jika masyarakat membuang sampah tidak pada tempatnya. Karena itu diperlukan komunikasi Persuasif oleh Dinas Lingkungan Hidup untuk menciptakan masyarakat yang sadar akan kebersihan dan keindahan lingkungan

Televisi sebagai Media Dakwah Islam dalam Kehidupan Masyarakat Indonesia

Da'wah which initially only uses traditional media, then develops by using the touches of modern technology including television. Television is one of the modern media that can be used to preach today. Television has one goal, which is to attract people's attention to the content of the message conveyed. As a medium of communication, television can play its role as an interesting channel to convey messages of kindness to the public. Including religious messages that are commonly called da'wah. The advantages of propaganda through television media do not only depend on the advantages possessed by this media. Likewise for a Preacher who wants to take advantage of television media, he is required to fully understand how to use this media, including determining the methods and techniques of preaching. Because without the proper methods and techniques of da'wah in using television media, it will only waste energy and costs, and will also increase the distance of Da'wah activities with the community. This research uses content analysis

BIAS GENDER DALAM BUKU PELAJARAN AGAMA ISLAM SEKOLAH MENENGAH ATAS

Abstract: Gender distinction have resulted in differences in the roles of men and women in society. In such a way, this gender distinction is inherent in the perspective of society, so that this distinction is considered permanent. This study aims to determine whether there is an element of gender bias in Islamic high school education textbooks. This study used a qualitative approach and was analyzed using descriptive methods. As for what will be analyzed in this study is the thoughts of Muslims about gender differences, especially those contained in Islamic religious education textbooks at high schools. The technique used to analyze documents is Ethnographic Content Analysis or a study of qualitative media content, which is an integrative and more conceptual analysis method to find, identify, process and analyze documents to understand their meaning, significance and relevance. The results show which is in Islamic religious education text books for Senior High School found that there are two central problems that contain elements of gender bias, namely the first issue of fiqh which includes an explanation of; requirements for Hajj and Umrah travel for women, limits on male and female genitalia, grave pilgrimages, munakahat (marriage guardians, marriage witnesses, husband and wife obligations, and about leaders in the family). The second is a matter of morals that governs the manners of dress and decoration for men and women.Keywords: Gender, Islamic Religious TextbooksAbstrak: Adanya perbedaaan antara laki-lai dan perempuan secara fisik telah membuat sudut pandang yang berbeda di tengah masyarakat, sehingga perbedaan ini dianggap sesuatu yang permanen.
