Perancangan Sistem Informasi Pembayaran Online Menggunakan Payment Gateway

Transaksi elektronik menguntungkan karena dapat mengurangi biaya transaksi bisnis dan dapat memperbaiki kualitas pelayanan kepada pelanggan. Walaupun demikian, sering sekali layanan yang ditawarkan melalui media elektronik mudah sekali disalahgunakan oleh pihak – pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Seperti halnya pada saat terjadi komunikasi yang melibatkan jumlah potongan yang harus dilakukan oleh akun bank tertentu dan penambahan nilai uang pada akun yang lain. Untuk menangani masalah tersebut, salah satunya adalah protokol SSL (Secure Socket Layer) dimana merupakan salah satu protokol untuk berkomunikasi melalui internet, yang artinya SSL berisi aturan untuk menjamin komunikasi yang terjadi aman. Untuk mengimplementasikan SSL tersebut, penulis merancang website payment gateway yang nantinya dapat berguna untuk mendeskripsikan informasi pembayaran dan membandingkan nilai hash yang dikirimkan penjual. Sehingga dengan adanya website payment gateway ini maka pihak customer dan merchant bisa mengetahui bagaimana sebenarnya komunikasi e-commerce berjalan di internet

All Who Wander: On the Prevalence and Characteristics of Multi-community Engagement

Although analyzing user behavior within individual communities is an active and rich research domain, people usually interact with multiple communities both on- and off-line. How do users act in such multi-community environments? Although there are a host of intriguing aspects to this question, it has received much less attention in the research community in comparison to the intra-community case. In this paper, we examine three aspects of multi-community engagement: the sequence of communities that users post to, the language that users employ in those communities, and the feedback that users receive, using longitudinal posting behavior on Reddit as our main data source, and DBLP for auxiliary experiments. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of features drawn from these aspects in predicting users' future level of activity. One might expect that a user's trajectory mimics the "settling-down" process in real life: an initial exploration of sub-communities before settling down into a few niches. However, we find that the users in our data continually post in new communities; moreover, as time goes on, they post increasingly evenly among a more diverse set of smaller communities. Interestingly, it seems that users that eventually leave the community are "destined" to do so from the very beginning, in the sense of showing significantly different "wandering" patterns very early on in their trajectories; this finding has potentially important design implications for community maintainers. Our multi-community perspective also allows us to investigate the "situation vs. personality" debate from language usage across different communities.Comment: 11 pages, data available at https://chenhaot.com/pages/multi-community.html, Proceedings of WWW 2015 (updated references

Pengaruh Investment Opportunity Set (IOS), Mekanisme Good Corporate Governance dan Reputasi KAP terhadap Kualitas Laba Perusahaan (Studi Empiris pada Perusahaan Property And Real Estate yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia 2010-2012)

This study aimed to examine the effect of investment opportunity set (IOS), good corporate governance mechanism (audit committee, independent directors, institutional ownership, managerial ownership) and public accounting firms reputation on quality of corporate earnings. The sample was taken using the method of purposive sampling from property and real estate company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2010 until 2012. Obtained 81 samples from 33 property and real estate company for 3 years. Hypothesis testing is performed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that audit committee have significant effect on corporate earnings. While investment opportunity set (IOS), independent directors, managerial ownership and institutional ownership of the firms reputation does not have significant effect on quality of corporate earnings.Keyword: Investment opportunity set (IOS), good corporate governance mechanism, public accounting firms, quality of corporate earnigs

Reconciling social norms with personal interests: indigenous styles of identity formation among Pakistani youth

Research on identity formation has been conducted mostly in Western contexts. We extend and complement such research by exploring qualitatively the strategies and styles of identity formation employed by emerging adults in Pakistan. Whereas Western theories of identity formation often provide a negative view of normative orientation as “blind obedience” without exploring alternatives, our thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 12 Pakistani emerging adults suggests a much more complex interplay between personal interests and normative influences on identity formation. Participants described various ways of reconciling normative expectations (parental, religious, and cultural) with their personal interests, preferences, and explorations, when deciding about their careers, relationships, and values. In Pakistani culture, normative influences seem to play a more positive and flexible role in identity formation than is suggested by previous Western research

Offset truss hex solar concentrator

A solar energy concentrator system comprises an offset reflector structure made up of a plurality of solar energy reflector panel sections interconnected with one another to form a piecewise approximation of a portion of a (parabolic) surface of revolution rotated about a prescribed focal axis. Each panel section is comprised of a plurality of reflector facets whose reflective surfaces effectively focus reflected light to preselected surface portions of the interior sidewall of a cylindrically shaped solar energy receiver. The longitudinal axis of the receiver is tilted at an acute angle with respect to the optical axis such that the distribution of focussed solar energy over the interior surface of the solar engine is optimized for dynamic solar energy conversion. Each reflector panel section comprises a flat, hexagonally shaped truss support framework and a plurality of beam members interconnecting diametrically opposed corners of the hexagonal framework recessed within which a plurality of (spherically) contoured reflector facets is disposed. The depth of the framework and the beam members is greater than the thickness of a reflector facet such that a reflector facet may be tilted (for controlling the effective focus of its reflected light through the receiver aperture) without protruding from the panel section

Monitoring Vibration of a Model of Rotating Machine

Mechanical movement or motion of a rotating machine normally causes additional vibration. A vibration sensing device must be added to constantly monitor vibration level of the system having a rotating machine, since the vibration frequency and amplitude cannot be measured quantitatively by only sight or touch. If the vibration signals from the machine have a lot of noise, there are possibilities that the rotating machine has defects that can lead to failure. In this experimental research project, a vibration structure is constructed in a scaled model to simulate vibration and to monitor system performance in term of vibration level in case of rotation with balanced and unbalanced condition. In this scaled model, the output signal of the vibration sensor is processed in a microcontroller and then transferred to a computer via a serial communication medium, and plotted on the screen with data plotter software developed using C language. The signal waveform of the vibration is displayed to allow further analysis of the vibration. Vibration level monitor can be set in the microcontroller to allow shutdown of the rotating machine in case of excessive vibration to protect the rotating machine from further damage. Experiment results show the agreement with theory that unbalance condition on a rotating machine can lead to larger vibration amplitude compared to balance condition. Adding and reducing the mass for balancing can be performed to obtain lower vibration level
