    Ujian Nasional SMA sebagai syarat kelulusan merupakan sebuah permasalahan yang kontroversial di dunia pendidikan Indonesia. Dengan waktu seminggu ujian yang menentukan kelulusan, membuat para siswa SMA, orang tua, bahkan guru menjadi kalang kabut. Kecurangan pun bermunculan dan menjadi hal yang sangat lumrah. Hampir seluruh warga Indonesia mengakui adanya kecurangan ujian nasional, tetapi kebanyakan mereka menutup mulut dan tidak peduli karena merasa ujian nasional yang tidak penting. Oleh karena penulis, berusaha mengangkat kecurangan ini ke permukaan agar bisa di jadikan instropeksi terhadap ujian nasional. Sebuah pesan ini penulis wujudkan dalam bentuk film pendek agar menarik dan dapat dengan mudah menjadi renungan untuk masyarakat Indonesi

    In this work, nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheet/nanoball-fower-like structures (NSBS) were directly grown on a NiO seed-coated glass substrate using a low-temperature immersion method at 75 ºC. The thickness, or density, of the nanoball-fower-like structures difered based on the following samples order: NSBS1< NSBS2< NSBS3. The synthesised NSBS flms were investigated in terms of structural, optical, electrical, and humidity sensing characteristics. The X-ray difraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the NSBS samples corresponded to the face-centred cubic NiO with fve difraction patterns indexed to the (111), (200), (220), (311), and (222) planes. The interplanar spacing, lattice parameter, unit cell volume, strain, and stress were also determined from the XRD results. The transmittance spectra showed that the NSBS samples had a transparency of more than 30% in the visible region. The optical bandgap values for the NSBS samples were estimated in the range between 3.72 and 3.75 eV, which is directly related to their lattice expansion and defect characteristics. The current–voltage and Hall efect measurement results revealed that the NSBS2 displayed good electrical properties with the resistance, hole concentration, and hole mobility values of 7.84 MΩ, 8.71×1015 hole/cm−3, and 1.88×102 cm2 /V s, respectively. The NSBS samples performed well for humidity sensing with the highest sensitivity value of 169 being obtained for the NSBS2. These humidity sensing results correlated well with their structural, optical, and electrical characteristics

    Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy of Λ16^{16}_\LambdaO and Λ15^{15}_\LambdaN Hypernuclei via the 16^{16}O(K−,π−)(K^-, \pi^-) reaction

    he bound-state level structures of the Λ16^{16}_{\Lambda}O and Λ15^{15}_{\Lambda}N hypernuclei were studied by γ\gamma-ray spectroscopy using a germanium detector array (Hyperball) via the 16^{16}O (K−,π−γK^-, \pi^- \gamma) reaction. A level scheme for Λ16^{16}_{\Lambda}O was determined from the observation of three γ\gamma-ray transitions from the doublet of states (2−2^-,1−1^-) at ∼6.7\sim 6.7 MeV to the ground-state doublet (1−1^-,0−0^-). The Λ15^{15}_{\Lambda}N hypernuclei were produced via proton emission from unbound states in Λ16^{16}_{\Lambda}O . Three γ\gamma -rays were observed and the lifetime of the 1/2+;11/2^+;1 state in Λ15^{15}_{\Lambda}N was measured by the Doppler shift attenuation method. By comparing the experimental results with shell-model calculations, the spin-dependence of the ΛN\Lambda N interaction is discussed. In particular, the measured Λ16^{16}_{\Lambda}O ground-state doublet spacing of 26.4 ±\pm 1.6 ±\pm 0.5 keV determines a small but nonzero strength of the ΛN\Lambda N tensor interaction.Comment: 22 pages, 17 figure

    Exclusive Measurement of the Nonmesonic Weak Decay of ^{5}_{\Lambda}He Hypernucleus

    Full text link
    We performed a coincidence measurement of two nucleons emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of ^{5}_{\Lambda}He formed via the ^{6}Li(\pi^+,K^+) reaction. The energies of two nucleons and the pair number distributions in the opening angle between them were measured. In both np and nn pairs, we observed a clean back-to-back correlation coming from the two-body decay of \Lambda p --> n p and \Lambda n --> n n, respectively. The ratio of the nucleon pair numbers was N_{nn}/N_{np}=0.45 \pm 0.11(stat)\pm 0.03(syst) in the kinematic region of cos(theta_{NN}) < -0.8. Since each decay mode was exclusively detected, the measured ratio should be close to the ratio of \Gamma(\Lambda p --> np)/\Gamma(\Lambda n --> nn). The ratio is consistent with recent theoretical calculations based on the heavy meson/direct quark exchange picture.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. lett., 4 pages, 3 figure

    An efficient approach based on trust and reputation for secured selection of grid resources

    Full text link
    Security is a principal concern in offering an infrastructure for the formation of general-purpose computational grids. A number of grid implementations have been devised to deal with the security concerns by authenticating the users, hosts and their interactions in an appropriate fashion. Resource management systems that are sophisticated and secured are inevitable for the efficient and beneficial deployment of grid computing services. The chief factors that can be problematic in the secured selection of grid resources are the wide range of selection and the high degree of strangeness. Moreover, the lack of a higher degree of confidence relationship is likely to prevent efficient resource allocation and utilisation. In this paper, we present an efficient approach for the secured selection of grid resources, so as to achieve secure execution of the jobs. This approach utilises trust and reputation for securely selecting the grid resources. To start with, the self-protection capability and reputation weightage of all the entities are computed, and based on those values, the trust factor (TF) of all the entities are determined. The reputation weightage of an entity is the measure of both the user&rsquo;s feedback and other entities&rsquo; feedback. Those entities with higher TF values are selected for the secured execution of jobs. To make the proposed approach more comprehensive, a novel method is employed for evaluating the user&rsquo;s feedback on the basis of the existing feedbacks available regarding the entities. This approach is proved to be scalable for an increased number of user jobs and grid entities. The experimentation portrays that this approach offers desirable efficiency in the secured selection of grid resources

    Fermi surface in BaNi2_2P2_2

    Full text link
    We report measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation and a band structure calculation for the pnictide superconductor BaNi2_2P2_2, which is isostructural to BaFe2_2As2_2, the mother compound of the iron-pnictide high-TcT_c superconductor (Ba1−x_{1-x}Kx_x)Fe2_2As2_2. Six dHvA-frequency branches with frequencies up to ∼\sim8 kT were observed, and they are in excellent agreement with results of the band-structure calculation. The determined Fermi surface is large, enclosing about one electron and hole per formula unit, and three-dimensional. This is in contrast to the small two-dimensional Fermi surface expected for the iron-pnictide high-TcT_c superconductors. The mass enhancement is about two.Comment: To appear in J. Phys. Soc.

    Nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheet films were successfully grown onto NiO seed-coated glass substrates at different annealing temperatures for humidity sensing applications. NiO seed layers and NiO nanosheet films were prepared using a sol-gel spin coating and sonicated sol-gel immersion techniques, respectively. The properties of NiO nanosheet films at as-deposited, 300 ℃, and 500 ℃-annealed were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and humidity sensor measurement system. The XRD patterns demonstrate that the grown NiO films have crystalline cubic structures at temperature of 300 ℃ and 500 ℃. The FESEM images show that the large porous nanosheet network spread over the layers as the annealing temperature increased. The UV-vis spectra revealed that all the nanosheet films have the average transmittance below than 50% in the visible region, with absorption edges ~ 350 nm. The optical band gap energy was evaluated in ranges of 3.39 to 3.61 eV. From the obtained humidity sensing results, it shows that 500 ℃-annealed film exhibited the best sensitivity of 257, as well as the slowest response time, and the fastest recovery time compared with others

    Bi-allelic JAM2 Variants Lead to Early-Onset Recessive Primary Familial Brain Calcification.

    Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a combination of neurological, psychiatric, and cognitive decline associated with calcium deposition on brain imaging. To date, mutations in five genes have been linked to PFBC. However, more than 50% of individuals affected by PFBC have no molecular diagnosis. We report four unrelated families presenting with initial learning difficulties and seizures and later psychiatric symptoms, cerebellar ataxia, extrapyramidal signs, and extensive calcifications on brain imaging. Through a combination of homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing, we mapped this phenotype to chromosome 21q21.3 and identified bi-allelic variants in JAM2. JAM2 encodes for the junctional-adhesion-molecule-2, a key tight-junction protein in blood-brain-barrier permeability. We show that JAM2 variants lead to reduction of JAM2 mRNA expression and absence of JAM2 protein in patient's fibroblasts, consistent with a loss-of-function mechanism. We show that the human phenotype is replicated in the jam2 complete knockout mouse (jam2 KO). Furthermore, neuropathology of jam2 KO mouse showed prominent vacuolation in the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum and particularly widespread vacuolation in the midbrain with reactive astrogliosis and neuronal density reduction. The regions of the human brain affected on neuroimaging are similar to the affected brain areas in the myorg PFBC null mouse. Along with JAM3 and OCLN, JAM2 is the third tight-junction gene in which bi-allelic variants are associated with brain calcification, suggesting that defective cell-to-cell adhesion and dysfunction of the movement of solutes through the paracellular spaces in the neurovascular unit is a key mechanism in CNS calcification
