“Wreck IT Ralph”: Studi Genre Pada Film Disney Animation Studios

“Wreck It Ralph” adalah sebuah film animasi produksi Disney Animation Studios yang menceritakan kehidupan dan petualangan seorang penjahat di dunia permainan bernama Ralph. Film ini adalah sebuah film yang membawa konvensi-konvensi genre yang berbeda dari film Disney sebelumnya. Peneliti melakukan analisis genre terhadap film “Wreck It Ralph” menggunakan 6 konvensi genre menurut Jane Stokes, yaitu setting, lokasi, peristiwa-peristiwa naratif, plot, karakter, dan ikonografi, untuk mengetahui genre apa yang dikonstruksikan dalam film. Genre adalah sebuah sistem penting yang dibuat oleh industri untuk menarik penonton sebanyak-banyaknya, dan memuat isu-isu sosial. Melalui analisis genre ini, peneliti menemukan bahwa “Wreck It Ralph” mengonstruksikan genre aksi, drama, dan fantasi, dengan campuran 10 genre lain. Peneliti juga menemukan adanya pergeseran konvensi dari Disney pada genre drama dan fantasi. Melalui genre drama, Disney membawa bullying sebagai tema utama, yang belakangan menjadi populer di Amerika Serikat. Dengan demikian, genre dan bullying sama-sama menjadi sebuah komoditas untuk mendatangkan keuntungan bagi industri

Bullying on Elementary School Students

Bullying usually occurs around the school environment such as in the class, toilet, corridor, or after school activities. This research aims to identify bullying behavior on students at schools.

Analisa Gas Terlarut pada Minyak Transformator Daya 150 KV dengan Menggunakan Metode Duval Pentagon

Transformer oil is one of the important components of a transformer, because in addition to its function as an insulator which provides the function of inter-winding insulation inside the transformer, as well as the cooling medium to absorb heat from the transformer core and transformer winding. The content of gases dissolved in transformer oil indirectly indicate the condition of the transformer itself. Therefore, analysis of transformer oil or Diissolved Gas analys (DGA) needs to be done to determine the type of interference that may occur in the transformer, which can be directly carried out an action and special attention to the transformer before the condition worsens. The final task is about the maintenance actions that must be done to the results of gas content dissolved in transformer insulating oil. This research was conducted by comparing some methods of interpretation that is TDCG, Duval triangle, and Duval pentagon. The test sample used for analysis is the transformer oil samples at some substations owned by PT. PLN (Persero) P3BS UPT Pekanbaru, Riau. The results showed that increasing the amount of dissolved combustible gas in transformer oil will result in reduced performance of the transformer. This would explain that the transformer has impaired which can be disturbances thermal (thermal fault), partial discharge, or arcing

Perbandingan Aplikasi Dekonvolusi Pada Domain T-X Dan Tau-P Linear Untuk Mereduksi Multipel Data Seismik 2D Laut

Akibat adanya gelombang yang terperangkap dalam lapisan air laut maupun lapisan batuan, akan timbul efek multipel. Gelombang terpantul dalam lapisan yang sama, sehingga akan memberikan informasi waktu rambat gelombang yang lebih besar. Diperlukan suatu metode untuk menghilangkan multipel tersebut tanpa mengganggu event primernya. Salah satu metode adalah dekonvolusi yang bisa dilakukan pada domain time-offset (t-x) dan intercept time-ray parameter (tau-p) linear. Pada domain t-x, data langsung difilter menggunakan dekonvolusi prediktif. Sedangkan prinsip metode tau-p linear adalah mengubah domain t-x menjadi domain tau-p dan multipel akan difilter menggunakan dekonvolusi prediktif. Data yang telah difilter tersebut akan dikembalikan ke domain t-x dengan multipel yang telah tereduksi. Hasil dari kedua metode tersebut akan dibandingkan. Perbandingan dapat dilihat melalui amplitudo, spectral analysis dan stack. Amplitudo multipel dekonvolusi linear memberikan nilai lebih rendah daripada dekonvolusi . Pada shot gather, dekonvolusi tau-p linear mereduksi multipel di area middle sampai far offset yang terdapat Perulangan tidak konsisten. Spectral analysis dekonvolusi tau-p linear lebih halus dibandingkan dekonvolusi yang mengindikasikan noise tereduksi. Hasil stack menunjukkan pereduksian multipel yang lebih bersih dengan reflektor primer yang lebih menerus pada stack dekonvolusi . Dekonvolusi tau-p linear memberikan hasil terbaik dalam pereduksian multipel. Pada domain tersebut perioditas multipel lebih stabil. Dekonvolusi dalam domain t-x tidak maksimal mereduksi multipel karena perioditas multipel tidak stabil pada posisi non-zero offset. Pada domain tau-p perioditas multipel lebih stabil

Interdependence of Influence between Risk Management Behavior, MSME Characteristics, and Overconfidence on Business Sustainability: (A case study in Indonesia)

More than 50% of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia run their business for reasons of livelihood, while 30% do this since MSMEs are profitable, and may support their living costs. This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of risk management behavior, characteristics of MSMEs through overconfidence on MSME business sustainability, and consequently MSMEs as a source of livelihood. The result of this study indicates that risk management behavior has a significant positive effect on overconfidence, while the characteristics of MSMEs have a significant negative effect on that. In turn, it’s shown that overconfidence had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of MSMEs. However, the characteristics of MSMEs and risk management behavior had no significant positive effect on the sustainability of MSMEs. These results indicate also that MSME entrepreneurs’ overconfidence plays a major role in managing their business, which could be considered by the local government and/or the central government in determining MSME policies, such as placements to sell which are given and regulated by each local government considering the accessibility of sellers and buyers as well as their safety.    Cite this paper: Jaluanto, Tyoso S.

Predicting erythropoietin resistance in hemodialysis patients with type 2 diabetes

<p>Background: Resistance to ESAs (erythropoietin stimulating agents) is highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients with diabetes and associated with an increased mortality. The aim of this study was to identify predictors for ESA resistance and to develop a prediction model for the risk stratification in these patients.</p> <p>Methods: A post-hoc analysis was conducted of the 4D study, including 1015 patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing hemodialysis. Determinants of ESA resistance were identified by univariate logistic regression analyses. Subsequently, multivariate models were performed with stepwise inclusion of significant predictors from clinical parameters, routine laboratory and specific biomarkers.</p> <p>Results: In the model restricted to clinical parameters, male sex, shorter dialysis vintage, lower BMI, history of CHF, use of ACE-inhibitors and a higher heart rate were identified as independent predictors of ESA resistance. In regard to routine laboratory markers, lower albumin, lower iron saturation, higher creatinine and higher potassium levels were independently associated with ESA resistance. With respect to specific biomarkers, higher ADMA and CRP levels as well as lower Osteocalcin levels were predictors of ESA resistance.</p> <p>Conclusions: Easily obtainable clinical parameters and routine laboratory parameters can predict ESA resistance in diabetic hemodialysis patients with good discrimination. Specific biomarkers did not meaningfully further improve the risk prediction of ESA resistance. Routinely assessed data can be used in clinical practice to stratify patients according to the risk of ESA resistance, which may help to assign appropriate treatment strategies.</p&gt

Mammary Paget's disease occurring after mastectomy

BACKGROUND: Mammary Paget's disease and extramammary Paget's disease are neoplastic conditions, in which there is intraepithelial (usually intraepidermal) infiltration by neoplastic cells showing glandular differentiation. Mammary Paget's disease occurs exclusively on the nipple/areola complex from where it may spread to the surrounding skin. CASE PRESENTATION: We here describe a case of Paget's disease occurring on the thoracic wall site of a previous simple mastectomy, and also briefly summarise the most important aspects leading to a diagnosis of mammary Paget's disease. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of mammary Paget's disease occurring after mastectomy. The absence of the nipple/areola complex obviously raised some questions concerning whether it was mammary or extra-mammary Paget's disease, and how it could occur in the absence of the nipple/areola complex

Characterising white matter in Huntington's disease

Background: Investigating early white matter (WM) change in Huntington’s Disease (HD) can improve our understanding of the way in which disease spreads from the striatum. Objectives: Here, we provide a detailed characterisation of pathology-related WM change in HD. We first examined WM microstructure using diffusion-weighted imaging, then investigated both underlying biological properties of WM and products of WM damage including iron, myelin plus neurofilament light (NfL), a biofluid marker of axonal degeneration – in parallel with the mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT). Methods: We examined WM change in HD gene-carriers from the HD-CSF cohort, baseline visit. We used standard diffusion MRI to measure metrics including fractional anisotropy (FA), a marker of WM integrity, and diffusivity; a novel diffusion model (NODDI) to measure axonal density and organisation; T1 and T2 weighted structural MRI images to derive proxy iron content and myelin-contrast measures; and biofluid concentrations of NfL (in CSF and plasma) and mHTT (in CSF). Results: HD gene-carriers displayed reduced FA and increased diffusivity compared to controls, both of which were also associated with disease progression, CSF and mHTT levels. HD gene-carriers also displayed proxy measures of reduced myelin-contrast and iron in the striatum. Conclusion: Collectively, these findings present a more complete characterisation of HD-related microstructural brain changes. Correlation between reduced FA, increased axonal orientation and biofluid markers suggest that axonal breakdown is associated with increased WM degeneration, while higher quantitative T2 signal and lower myelin-contrast may indicate a process of demyelination limited to the striatum
