Kecenderungan Kecanduan Gim Daring Dan Konformitas Kelompok Gim Daring Pada Remaja

Pada umumnya remaja senang berorientasi pada teman sebaya atau kelompoknya sertamembutuhkan pengakuan dari kelompoknya. Perilaku konformitas mudah dijumpai di dalampergaulan maupun permainan, salah satunya adalah kebersamaan dalam bermain gim daring.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menguji hubungan antara kecenderungan kecanduan gimdaring dengan konformitas terhadap kelompok gim daring pada remaja. Partisipan dalampenelitian ini adalah remaja laki-laki dan perempuan, berusia 11-21 tahun, tingkat pendidikanSekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) hingga Perguruan Tinggi, belum menikah, diduga memilikikecenderungan kecanduan gim daring, serta yang berdomisili di Bekasi sebanyak 67 orang.Metode pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah sampling purposif.Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari Skala Konformitas serta SkalaKecanduan Gim Daring berbentuk skala Likert. Teknik analisis data yang akan digunakan padapenelitian ini adalah analisis korelasi product moment. Berdasarkan analisis data diperolehskor korelasi sebesar 0.428 (p < .00). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubunganpositif yang signifikan antara kecenderungan kecanduan gim daring dengan konformitasterhadap kelompok gim daring pada remaja. Hal ini berarti bahwa semakin tinggikecenderungan kecanduan gim daring maka semakin tinggi pula konformitas terhadap kelompokgim daring tersebut

Partition Functions in Even Dimensional AdS via Quasinormal Mode Methods

In this note, we calculate the one-loop determinant for a massive scalar (with conformal dimension $\Delta$) in even-dimensional AdS$_{d+1}$ space, using the quasinormal mode method developed in arXiv:0908.2657 by Denef, Hartnoll, and Sachdev. Working first in two dimensions on the related Euclidean hyperbolic plane $H_2$, we find a series of zero modes for negative real values of $\Delta$ whose presence indicates a series of poles in the one-loop partition function $Z(\Delta)$ in the $\Delta$ complex plane; these poles contribute temperature-independent terms to the thermal AdS partition function computed in arXiv:0908.2657. Our results match those in a series of papers by Camporesi and Higuchi, as well as Gopakumar et.al. in arXiv:1103.3627 and Banerjee et.al. in arXiv:1005.3044. We additionally examine the meaning of these zero modes, finding that they Wick-rotate to quasinormal modes of the AdS$_2$ black hole. They are also interpretable as matrix elements of the discrete series representations of $SO(2,1)$ in the space of smooth functions on $S^1$. We generalize our results to general even dimensional AdS$_{2n}$, again finding a series of zero modes which are related to discrete series representations of $SO(2n,1)$, the motion group of $H_{2n}$.Comment: 27 pages; v2: minor updates and JHEP versio

1-Jet Riemann-Finsler Geometry for the Three-Dimensional Time

The aim of this paper is to develop on the 1-jet space J^1(R,M^3) the Finsler-like geometry (in the sense of distinguished (d-) connection, d-torsions and d-curvatures) of the rheonomic Berwald-Moor metric of order three. Some natural geometrical field theories (gravitational and electromagnetic) produced by the preceding rheonomic Berwald-Moor metric of order three are also exposed.Comment: 14 page

Charm Decays and Spectroscopy at BABAR

We present searches for rare charm decays of the form $X_c^+ \to h^{\pm} \ell^{\mp} \ell^{(')^+}$, where $X_c^+$ is a charm hadron either $D^+$, $D_s^+$, or $\Lambda_c^+$, and $\ell^{(')^{\pm}}$ is an electron or muon. These modes are based on 384 $fb^{-1}$ of $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We also present the flavor-changing neutral-current decays $D^0 \to e^+e^-$, $D^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, and $D^0 \to e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp}$ that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 468 $fb^{-1}$ of data. The decay $D^0 \to e^+ \mu^-$ is further lepton-flavor violating, and thus occur only through very slow neutrino mixing. These decays constitute sensitive probes for possible new-physics contribution. We report new limits on the branching fractions of these decays.Comment: Contributed to the Proceedings of 36th International Conference on High Energy Physics, July 4-11, 2012, Melbourne, Australia.
