KOMUNIKASI POLITIK GIBRAN RAKABUMING RAKA DALAM MEMPERJUANGKAN KEPUTUSAN DPP PDI PERJUANGAN SEBAGAI CALON WALIKOTA SOLO (ANALISA PERSPEKTIF TEORI JÜRGEN HABERMAS)

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komunikasi politik Gibran Rakabuming Raka dalam memperjuangkan keputusan DPP PDI Perjuangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Paradigma dalam penelitian ini adalah paradigma kritis dengan analisis perspektif teori tindakan komunikatif dari Jürgen Habermas. Dalam penelitian ini,penulis mengumpulkan data dari berbagai sumber. Data penelitian terdiri dari data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer berupa wawancara dan data sekunder berupa dokumen, laporan serta studi literatur dari buku, jurnal, media massa dan hasil penelitian terdahulu. Adapun informan dalam penelitian ini yakni Gibran Rakabuming Raka dan PDI Perjuangan dari tingkat DPC Solo, DPD Jawa Tengah serta DPP. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu Gibran Rakabuming Raka membangun pola komunikasi politik dari atas ke bawah melalui konsultasi dengan DPP PDI Perjuangan. Pola komunikasi tersebut menguntungkan Gibran Rakabuming Raka dikarenakan DPP PDI Perjuangan menerapkan komunikasi monologis terhadap DPC PDI Perjuangan Solo dan Achmad Purnomo. Pendekatan elitis yang dijalankan oleh Gibran Rakabuming Raka tidak menunjukkan communication rational action sesuai dengan pandangan Jurgen Habermas tetapi lebih kepada purposive rational action. Sementara itu, citra milenial dan persepsi anak presiden memberikan kemudahan bagi Gibran Rakabuming Raka, apalagi Presiden Joko Widodo adalah kader PDI Perjuangan sehingga konsensus dalam rekomendasi pencalonan tidak merepresentasikan komunikasi dialogis

The Impact of English Teaching on Arabic Language Teaching in the 1st Basic Stage: From the Teachers' Perceptions in Jordan

This study aimed to identify the impact of learning English on learning Arabic Language in the 1st Basic Stage from the Teachers' Perspective in the Marka Schools District in Amman, the Capital of Jordan. Data was collected via a structure questionnaire developed in English which consisted of (58) items classified in four parts to measure the impact of English learning on Arabic learning in the 1st Basic Stage in the academic year 2016 - 2017. The study was conducted on sample of (141) English teachers, which represent (11.5%) of the total study population. The sample selected on the stratified random. The results show that there is a positive impact of English on learning Arabic. Teachers have positive attitudes towards teaching English in early ages: they enjoy learning it. The claim, which indicates that L2 negatively impact L1 from the perceptive of students`, development and cultural values are not valid according to the finding of the study.

The Effectiveness of the Conceptual Maps Strategy in Improving Conversational Skills of the Upper Basic Stage Students in Jordan

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the conceptual maps on improving the conversational skills of the students in the upper basic stage in Jordan. Data was collected via from a test developed by researcher which consisted of (50) items. The sample of the study consisted of (72) students, (9th and 10th) grades, randomly selected from one of Aljamia District schools in Amman, distributed in two groups: experimental and control, then applied the same tribal test as a post-test for the same groups after teaching the experimental group students on how to use the concept of conceptual map. The results showed that there was a positive effect among the experimental group in the field of conversational skills, and there were statistically significant differences among the students who were suffering from speech anxiety while talking with their teacher or classmates. Keywords: Conversational Skills, Traditional Education, Map concept, Upper Basic Stage Students

Analysis On QOS Parameters To Predict Http Response

Current web service standards lack the best framework to predict the best possible QoS parameters to predict the best delivery service to guarantee packets being delivered to the destination and the order of the arriving packets through the HTTP. It is because of the proliferation of the same web service functionality, reliability and reputation on published information. However, it is not an easy task to propose the required QoS to users because of the dynamic nature of web services and web service features, uncertain with differences applications and web services of different QoS requirements. Therefore, the real live world web service label data uses to evaluate the focus parameters using classification machine learning algorithms to process the data. The specific objective of this research was to predict simple method of measuring response time and encounter performance bottlenecks due to the limitations of the underlying messaging and transport protocols for the web services. By improving QoS services will bring advantages and competitiveness of network service providers increase bandwidth and better speed performances desire with significant parameters for users. The findings of this research have a number of important implications for future practice

Developing a meso-scale non-contact measuring method based on vision system : calibration of CCD camera

In developing a vision based measuring system, the camera’s precision has always been the bottleneck, and often being discussed. The combination of digital camera, narrow angle, relatively big distortions and focus to infinity cause some difficulties in camera calibration, as a result none of the existing camera calibration techniques is perfectly suitable for this purpose. This research compared three types of CCD camera calibration techniques namely Bouget’s Calibration Toolbox, Zhang’s Calibration Toolbox and Heikkilla’s Calibration Toolbox. The purpose is to select the most suitable camera calibration technique to fulfill the needs of users according to their desired applications. Aside from camera calibration, optimization of parameters such as effective focal length and coordinate of principle point for intrinsic parameter as well as extrinsic parameters comprises of rotation matrix and translation were performed. Experimental data for both calibration and optimization were collected to further explain the experimental results. Statistical analyses such as T-Test and ANOVA were conducted on the collected data using Minitab and EXCEL software. The results of this research indicated that the best calibration technique (toolbox) for calibrating Omron F500 CCD Camera for the purpose of measuring dimensions of meso-scale component is the Heikkilla’s Calibration Toolbox

Flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams containing glass wastes as partial replacement of fine aggregate and cement

New product development of concrete materials give advantages in terms of cost and wastage of materials. Thus, one effective way is to use disposable materials such as waste glass in concrete to minimize the use of raw materials. In the present study, the use of waste glass was conducted to determine its suitability as a material replacement in the making concrete

The Mobile Robot Development for Air Pollution Tele Data Capture

In the Modern era, the environmental issues have given significant impact to the human live. The air pollution indoor and outdoor environment sometimes dangerous to the human health and it needs to be justified. To fulfill this purpose, in this research tele-measurement process and technique based on the mobile robot with equipped by several air quality parameters sensors is developed. The robot is controlled using remote control and wireless communication system. The air quality in target area will be monitored by using sensors which will capture data and send it to the Central Control (laptop) for analyzing. And then to be able to monitor the certain area investigation, the mobile robot is guided by using wireless camera. From the experimental test, the robot able move to target area, capture the area condition and the air parameters monitor
