Youth Lifestyle in a Moslem Magazine: a Reception Analysis on “Muslimah” Readers

This research is about whether or not Indonesian female youth Moslem are easily accepting religious values packaged with popular icons in a Moslem magazine. In this magazine, teenagers do not have to wear long, loose dark colored clothes, but they may wear light colored, tight and trendy dresses known as modern hijab. The main goal of this research is understanding female youths\u27 reception over Muslimah magazine applying Stuart Hall\u27s encoding and decoding approach. Primary data were collected by in-depth interview toward selected readers. The results are: (1) the ability of parents to control their teenagers\u27 religious behavior affect teenagers\u27 reading over Muslimah. (2) Informants who live with their parents younger than 20 years old, and have strong connection with religious peer group—tend to build negotiated readings. (3) Informants who do not depend on their parents—older than 20 years old, and have professional jobs—tend to rely more on mass media for seeking religious information more than their peer group or parents. Therefore, they tend to agree with Muslimah coverage which emphasized more on modern Moslem youth lifestyle than on its syariah (religious values)

Poverty as a Driving Force to Insecurity in Slums within Nairobi

The rapid growth of poverty and insecurity in slums is alarming and needs more attention. The by city authorities to plan effectively and enforce land and urban laws has led to rapid and unplanned growth of informal settlements in major cities around the worlds. The purpose of this paper was to establish the relationship between poverty and insecurity in slum settlements within Nairobi Kenya. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 120 respondents. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires and interview schedules from respondents. Literature was reviewed from books, journals, periodicals and newspapers. The data collected was analyzed quantitatively using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and qualitatively through interpretation of the various responses generated, and the outcome presented by use of frequency tables, bar graphs, pie charts and cross tabulation where applicable. The findings and recommendations are beneficial to national government, county governments, civil society organizations, NGO’s and international organizations concerned with eradicating poverty and insecurity in the society. It is envisioned that the research findings and recommendations will also provide planning benchmarks for provision of security and improved livelihoods in the slums. The findings will also add to the body of knowledge and could be a source of future reference by other scholars who might need to dwell on similar or related issues.

Pemanfaatan Keylogger Berbasis Spyware untuk Memonitoring Aktivitas Penggunaan Keyboard User

Menambahnya pemilik komputer membuat pengguna kurang atau lebih memiliki pengaruh kepada sejumlah pengguna yang berinteraksi dengan komputer. Berdasarkan dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh National Center Education Statistics (NCES, 2003). Penggunaan internet oleh pengguna dibedakan dengan bagaimana pengguna menggunakannya, apakah dari pengguna menggunakannya untuk fasilitas chatting, email, tugas, browsing untuk mendapatkan informasi, termasuk bermain game online. Tetapi tidak semua konten yang ada berisikan informasi yang edukatif, dan juga terdapat banyak sekali informasi negative yang tidak sesuai yang dapat diakses oleh anak-anak. Pengawasan terhadap penggunaan teknologi informasi sangatlah dibutuhkan karena perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan mengenai pembuatan virus, worm, atau spyware. Menginstalasi antivirus adalah solusi untuk mencegahnya virus mengkontaminasi jaringan ataupun sistem komputer. Namun dengan demikian antivirus-pun tidak dapat memantau aktifitas pengguna, dengan kata lain, kegiatan penggunaan keyboard. Keylogger dapat mampu merekan semua aktivitas keyboard. Keylogger harus diinstal pada komputer yang ditargetkan untuk merekam aktivitas penggunaan keyboard. Kemudian untuk dapat mengambil file log, Keylogger harus memiliki akses secara fisik ke dalam komputer. Dengan ini sebagai dasar untuk membuat sebuah ide untuk memantau aktivitas keyboard pengguna. Tetapi jika hanya ini, pasti akan menimbulkan masalah jika pengguna mengetahui tentang adanya keylogger. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, menciptakan sebuah program yang dapat memantau aktivitas pengguna saat mengakses komputer atau dalam hal ini apa yang pengguna ketikkan untuk memberikan hak-hak istimewa untuk mengetahui apa yang pengguna telah lakukan selama penggunaan. Mengingat cara ini, memberikan admin memantau pengguna saat mengakses komputer

Guided atom laser : a new tool for guided atom optics

We present a guided atom laser. A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is created in a crossed hybrid magnetic and an elongated optical trap, which acts as a matterwave guide. Atoms are extracted from the BEC by radio frequency (rf) outcoupling and then guided in the horizontal optical matterwave guide. This method allows to control the acceleration of the beam and to achieve large de Broglie wavelength. We also measure the longitudinal energy of the guided atom laser using atom optical elements based on a blue light barrier

Moral Decision Making dan Corporate Social Responsibility Terkait Keputusan Investasi

Kesadaran tentang investor terhadapa pelaksanaan corporate social responsibility oleh emiten-emiten kini telah menjadi pertimbangan dalam keputusan investasi mereka, Tidak hanya pertimbangan financial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana factor-faktor moral behavior Perusahaan akan mempengaruhi keputusan investasi mereka dengan menggunakan multiple attribute utillity theory (MAUT) dan theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985). Dengan menggunakan teknik purposive-judgment sampling responden diminta berpartisipasi dalam sebuah group experimental dalam sebuah lab komputer. Setelah itu para partisipan diberikan kesempatan untuk membaca deskripsi 6 Perusahaan fiktif dan memberikan persepsi mereka tentang pelaksanaan CSR masing-masing Perusahaan. Variabel dependen dalam penelitian ini adalah perilaku investasi (Inv. Behavior) sedangkan variabel independen adalah Variabel Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Dividen Ekspektasian Multiple Attribute Utility Theory dan Issue Contingent Model. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan Tiga model prilaku yang digunakan mengindikasikan dapat menjelaskan variasi pada pengambilan keputusan investasi yang berlandaskan pada persepsi etika dan moral. Di samping itu juga terlihat bahwa aspek moral menjadi pertimbangan lebih dalam prilaku investasi daripada aspek finansial (dividen ekspektasian). Kata-kata Kunci: Social Responsibility, Moral Behavior, Multiple Attribute Utility Theory dan Issue Contingent Model

Contraction of the geographic range of distribution of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) in the eastern Bering Sea: An environmental ratchet?

Over the last three decades the geographic range of distribution of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) from the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) has contracted dramatically to the north. An increase in near-bottom temperature (NBT) during 1975–1979 was accompanied by a northward contraction of the cold pool (bound by the 2°C NBT isotherm) that extends over the Middle Domain during the summer. Warming was tracked with a 6-year lag by a contraction to the north of the mature female's range. Snow crab settle and grow to maturity in the Middle Domain. Successful recruitment during cold regimes may result from the occurrence of spring blooms and the stenothermy of early benthic instars. However, recruitment to the mature female population did not expand back to the southern shelf after the mid-1990s, despite some years when NBT was low. Cross-correlation of year-to-year shifts in geographic distribution of cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and immature snow crab during the 1990s suggests that the northward expansions of cod controlled the southern boundary of snow crab’s distribution range. Reestablishment of crab populations in the south may be hindered by cod predation. Also, because spawning females are now located “up-current,” advection of larvae to the south is unlikely. Contraction to the north may not be followed by an expansion back to the south after a change in regime. We refer to this suggested asymmetry as the environmental ratchet hypothesis and discuss it in the context of other conceptual models of the EBS ecosystem.Fil: Orensanz, Jose Maria.
