Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas Konseling Rasional Emotif Perilaku untuk meningkatkan self-esteem siswa. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode yang digunakan yaitu kuasi eksperimen dengan desain penelitian subjek tunggal tipe A-B. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan angket self-esteem dengan menggunakan skala Guttman. Populasi penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 48 Surabaya tahun ajaran 2014/2015 dengan jumlah 287 siswa dan yang dijadikan sampel sebanyak empat siswa yang memiliki skor self-esteem rendah dengan teknik random sampling. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan melakukan studi pendahuluan, pengukuran kondisi baseline selama tiga minggu (seminggu sekali), pemberian intervensi Konseling Rasional Emotif Perilaku yang dilakukan selama lima sesi dalam 5 minggu dan dilanjutkan dengan analisis data. Hasil uji efektivitas menunjukkan bahwa Konseling Rasional Emotif Perilaku secara empiris efektif untuk meningkatkan self-esteem siswa. Tiga siswa secara empiris terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan empat aspek self-esteem yakni kekuasaan (power), keberartian (significance), kebajikan (virtue) dan kompetensi (competence), namun satu siswa secara empiris terbukti tidak efektif dalam meningkatkan aspek kompetensi.---------- Ayong Lianawati. (2015). The Effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling to increase students’ self-esteem (Single Subject Research to four eighth grade students of SMP Negeri1 48 Surabaya Academic Year 2014/2015). Supervisor: Dr. Tina Hayati Dahlan, M.Pd., Psychologist. Department of Educational Psychology and Counseling, the School of Postgraduate Studies of Indonesia University of Education. The research aims to examine the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling to improve students’ self-esteem. It used quantitative approach, employing a quasi-experimental method with A-B single subject research design. The data was collected by self-esteem questionnaires using Guttman scale. The research population was consisted of a total of 287 eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 48 Surabaya academic year 2014/2015. The sample were with four students with low self-esteem detected by random sampling technique. The research was begun with a preliminary study, continued with measurement of baseline condition for three weeks (once a week), intervention of Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling given for five sessions in five weeks, and followed by data analysis. The results showed that Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling was empirically effective to improve the self-esteem of students. It is particularly proven to be empirically effective in improve four aspects of self-esteem in three students, namely power, significance, virtue, and competence; however, it is not empirically effective in improve the competence aspect of one student’s self-esteem

Until November 2011, dengue fever cases in Indonesia reached 124.811 (IR: 57.51 / 100,000 population) with 403 deaths (CFR: 1.02%). Based on the data from the Health Office in Banda Aceh from January to June 2013, the highest number of dengue cases was in Kuta Alam sub-district that is 32 cases. The purpose of the Research was to determine the relationship between level of knowledge, education and attitude with the participation of housewives in the prevention of dengue fever outbreak in Kuta Alam sub-district, Banda Aceh. This study design is a quantitative analytical research with cross sectional approach. The population was all housewives who live in Kuta Alam sub-district, Banda Aceh with the number of sample were 206 people. Research showed that in the group of housewives who claimed one of his family members suffering dengue fever 55.5% were in the age group of 30-40 years old, as well as the housewife who stated that no member of his family suffering dengue fever most of them were also in the age group of 30-40 years old by 60.3%. Furthermore, higher education has a very good connection to the increasing the participation of housewives in the prevention of dengue fever outbreak in Kuta Alam sub-district, Banda Aceh (85.7%) followed by a good knowledge (68.3%) and a positive attitude (64, 2%). The study concluded that there is a relationship between the level of education, knowledge and attitude with the participation of housewives in the prevention of dengue fever outbreak in Kuta Alam sub-district, Banda Aceh.Keywords: knowledge, education, attitude, the participation of mothers, dengue feve

Projectile-target search algorithm: a stochastic metaheuristic optimization technique

This paper proposes a new stochastic metaheuristic optimization algorithm which is based on kinematics of projectile motion and called projectile-target search (PTS) algorithm. The PTS algorithm employs the envelope of projectile trajectory to find the target in the search space. It has 2 types of control parameters. The first type is set to give the possibility of the algorithm to accelerate convergence process, while the other type is set to enhance the possibility to generate new better projectiles for searching process. However, both are responsible to find better fitness values in the search space. In order to perform its capability to deal with global optimum problems, the PTS algorithm is evaluated on six well-known benchmarks and their shifted functions with 100 dimensions. Optimization results have demonstrated that the PTS algoritm offers very good performances and it is very competitive compared to other metaheuristic algorithm

Optimal Nuclear Waste Burial Policy under Uncertainty

The aim of this paper is to study the optimal nuclear waste burial policy under an uncertainty : the possibility that an accident might occur in the future. The framework is an optimal growth model with pollution disutility. We show, under some conditions on the waste burial policy, that nuclear power may be a long-term solution for the world energy demand. Under uncertainty on the future safety of the buried waste, the social planner will decide to decrease the rate of waste burying, but the evolution of consumption and hence the evolution of the level of buried waste, are ambiguous. Depending on some simple conditions on the balanced growth rate of the economy and on the preference parameters of the households, the optimal amount of buried waste may increase, even if there is a risk of accident in the future.Nuclear waste; pollution; growth; uncertainty

Growth, Environment and Uncertain Future Preferences

The attitude of future generations towards environmental assets may well be different from ours, and it is necessary to take into account this possibility explicitly in the current debate about environmental policy. The question we are addressing here is: should uncertainty about future preferences lead to a more conservative attitude towards environment? Previous literature shows that it is the case when society expects that on average future preferences will be more in favor of environment than ours, but this result relies heavily on the assumption of a separability between consumption and environmental quality in the utility function. We show that things are less simple when preferences are non-separable: the attitude of the society now depends not only on the expectation of the change in preferences but also on the characteristics of the economy (impatience, intertemporal flexibility, natural capacities of regeneration of the environment, relative preference for the environment), on its history (initial level of the environmental quality) and on the date at which preferences are expected to change (near or far future).Growth ; Environment ; Preferences ; Uncertainty c ° 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

A QUANTITIES METHOD OF INDUCTION MOTOR UNDER UNBALANCED VOLTAGE CONDITIONS

The most complete definition for the voltage unbalance is using complex voltage unbalance factor (CVUF) that consists of its magnitude and angle. Unfortunately, the definition did not distinguish between undervoltage and overvoltage unbalance conditions. In this paper, the analysis of the motor is performed using the method of symmetrical component and MATLAB software is used to investigate the performance of induction motor. The simulation results show that the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) definition of the voltage unbalance can be applied to evaluate total copper losses precisely. However, the phase angle of unbalance factor must be included for accurate predicting of peak currents and peak copper losses of the phase windings of the motor.The unbalanced conditions which distinguish between under and over voltage unbalance must also be taken into consideration for assessing all the quatities. 

Optimal Emission Policy under the Risk of Irreversible Pollution

We consider an optimal consumption and pollution problem that has two important features. Environmental damages due to economic activities may be irreversible and the level at which the degradation becomes irreversible is unknown. Particular attention is paid to the situation where agents are relatively impatient and/or do not care a lot about the environment and/or Nature regenerates at low rate. We show that the optimal policy of the uncertain problem drives the economy in the long run toward a steady state while, when ignoring irreversibility, the economy follows a balanced growth path accompanied by a perpetual decrease in environmental quality and consumption, both asymptotically converging toward zero. Therefore, accounting for the risk of irreversibility induces more conservative decisions regarding consumption and polluting emissions. In general, however, we cannot rule out situations where the economy will optimally follow an irreversible path and consequently, will also be left, in the long run, with an irreversibly degraded environment.Optimal Control, Irreversibility Threshold, Uncertainty, Optimal Reversible, Irreversible Policy

Penerapan Aplikasi Blynk Pada Simulator Photovoltaic

Simulator photovoltaic adalah suatu perangkat yang dapat mensimulasikan suatu kondisi perubahan iradiasi yang dapat diatur untuk mengetahui nilai karkteristik photovoltaic. Pada saat ini penelitian  untuk pengujian photovoltaic susah dilakukan, karena keterbatasan alat simulator ataupun kondisi perubahan lingkungan yang tidak dapat dikendalikan pada saat proses pengujian photovoltaic. Dengan memanfaatkan teknologi yang sedang berkembang, simulator photovoltaic juga dapat dikembangkan dengan menggunakan konsep Internet of Things (IoT), sehingga proses pengujian dan monitoring tidak hanya dilakukan secara manual, tetapi juga dapat dilakukan secara mobile menggunakan smartphone dengan memanfaatkan mikrokontroler NodeMCU ESP8266. Pengujian menggunakan simulator photovoltaic akan didapat nilai karakteristik hubungan antara intensitas cahaya, suhu, beban dan daya yang dihasilkan. kemudian dari data tersebut akan dikirimkan oleh mikrokontroler ke aplikasi blynk sehingga data hasil pengujian mudah dipanta
