On the Special Significance of the Latest PAMELA Results in Astroparticle Physics

In continuation of their earlier measurements, the PAMELA group reported data on antiproton flux and $\bar{P}/P$ ratios in 2010 at much higher energies. In past we had dealt with these specific aspects of PAMELA data in great detail and each time we captured the contemporary data-trends quite successfully with the help of a multiple production model of secondary antiprotons with some non-standard ilk and with some other absolutely standard assumptions and approximations. In this work we aim at presenting a comprehensive and valid description of all the available data on antiproton flux and the nature of $\bar{P}/P$ ratios at the highest energies reported so far by the PAMELA experiment in 2010. The main physical implication of all this would, in the end, be highlighted.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Dark Matter Annihilation and the PAMELA, FERMI and ATIC Anomalies

If dark matter (DM) annihilation accounts for the tantalizing excess of cosmic ray electron/positrons, as reported by the PAMELA, ATIC, HESS and FERMI observatories, then the implied annihilation cross section must be relatively large. This results, in the context of standard cosmological models, in very small relic DM abundances that are incompatible with astrophysical observations. We explore possible resolutions to this apparent conflict in terms of non-standard cosmological scenarios; plausibly allowing for large cross sections, while maintaining relic abundances in accord with current observations.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures; published for publication in Physical Review

Common gauge origin of discrete symmetries in observable sector and hidden sector

An extra Abelian gauge symmetry is motivated in many new physics models in both supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric cases. Such a new gauge symmetry may interact with both the observable sector and the hidden sector. We systematically investigate the most general residual discrete symmetries in both sectors from a common Abelian gauge symmetry. Those discrete symmetries can ensure the stability of the proton and the dark matter candidate. A hidden sector dark matter candidate (lightest U-parity particle or LUP) interacts with the standard model fields through the gauge boson Z', which may selectively couple to quarks or leptons only. We make a comment on the implications of the discrete symmetry and the leptonically coupling dark matter candidate, which has been highlighted recently due to the possibility of the simultaneous explanation of the DAMA and the PAMELA results. We also show how to construct the most general U(1) charges for a given discrete symmetry, and discuss the relation between the U(1) gauge symmetry and R-parity.Comment: Version to appear in JHE

Persepsi Mahasiswa terhadap Pelaksanaan Kegiatan Pengalaman Lapangan Industri (Pli) di Dunia USAha/ Industri Program Studi S1 dan D3 Tata Busana Jurusan Kesejahteraan Keluarga Ft Unp

This study is a descriptive research with quantitative approach that aims to describe the perception of students S1 and D3 Fashion Design Family Welfare Department towards the implementation of Field Experience Industry (PLI) in the business/industry. The population in this study is all of the students S1 and D3 Fashion Design has implemented PLI from July to Desember 2012 and from January to June 2013 amounted to 37 people, samples were taken from all populations. Data processing is doing by determining the percentage and categorization. The result of the research showed student's perception of S1 and D3 Fashion Design Family welfare of the PLI observation activities in the business/industry are in the unfavorable category (63,9%), in planning activities in the business/industry that are in well enough category (74,9%), the pre-production activities are in well enough category (79,9%), whereas the production activities are in the unfavorable category (64,2%), perception of students S1 and D3 Fashion Design on the implementation of PLI in the business/industry well enough (70,1%). For that the students needs to encreas the ebility and skill of student in order to engage in any activity's PLI in the business/industry

Motif dan Pewarnaan Batik Tulis di Dusun Giriloyo Desa Wukirsari Kecamatan Imogiri Kabupaten Bantul Provinsi Daerah Istimewa YOGYAKARTA (Studi Kasus di Industri Batik Sri Kuncoro)

This research aimed to describe the shape of classical batik motif Yogyakarta using natural dyes and synthetic dyes as raw materials in the coloring process. This research method uses qualitative descriptive research. The data collection is done by using interview, observation and documentation. In this study, the informant of this data including: the leader and some of the craftsmen who know about batik and batik dyeing in in Sri Kuncoro batik industry. Furthermore, the data reviewed and analyzed by the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validation was done by triangulation to the head of the village, batik museum educators.The survey results revealed that: there are hundreds of different name of classical motifs but the kind that widely produced in batik Sri Kuncoro is the motive sidoasih, sidomukti, wahyu tumurun, truntum, srikuncoro, udan liris, and sirgunggu wiguno. The motives provided are decorative naturalist, geometric, and decorative ornament consisting of primary, complementary ornament, and IsenIsen. In coloring method using two kinds of colorings, the two substances are natural dyes from plants derived from leaves, flowers, fruit peel, bark, and roots of plants, whilst the types of synthetic dyes are using naphtol, indigosol, and rapide.

Eksistensi Agama Shinto dalam Pelaksanaan Matsuri di Jepang

Japan is one of the nations having an extensive historical culture, as well as the system of faith or religion. The existence of religion, as a part of their life, has been streaming from the ancient time (pre-modern) up to present. The implementation of their religious life is very unique and fascinating. Other remarkable issues is about the tight relationship among the religions especially Shinto with the festival performances which is held in Japan along the seasons
