A Regression Analysis of Impostor Phenomenon and Gender and Competence Motivation

Impostor phenomenon is a motivational construct described by an inability to internalize success, persistent self-doubt coupled with a sense of not belonging. The phenomenon is measured inconsistently, as researchers continue to use a scale based on outdated understandings of gender identity. In this thesis, I used two logistic regressions and two linear regressions to assess if a newer scale focused on competence motivation, the Self-Perception Profile for Adults is predictive of a scale historically used to measure impostor feelings of adults (Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale). I recruited a sample of undergraduates (N = 167), which is a population that tends to have high rates of impostor-like feelings. These participants took an online survey in which they responded to scales measuring impostor-like feelings along with a scale measuring competence motivation. Using the method of scoring impostor-like feelings on a continuous was most informative. Physicality, home management, sense of humor, intelligence, and global scores of the self-perception scale were predictive of the participant’s level of impostor

Transformasi Bentuk Ubur-Ubur Pada Busana Kasual Batik Kontemporer

Dalam karya “Transformasi Bentuk Ubur-Ubur Pada Busana Kasual Batik Kontemporer” ini penulis terinspirasi menciptakan karya karena Ketertarikan penulis terhadap makhluk laut terutama pada ubur-ubur karena bentuknya yang lentur tak bertulang dan tidak memiliki bentuk wajah yang jelas namun dapat hidup layaknya hewan pada umumnya. Serta kekayaan dan keindahan makhluk laut dan semua lautan yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia, melalui karya ini pula penulis ingin memghimbau masyarakat terutama pada kalangan anak muda atau mahasiswa senantiasa menjaga alam Indonesia dari kerusakan tangan manusia. Proses karya seni Tugas Akhir ini menggunakan metode pendekatan estetika dan metode pendekatan ergonomi, sedangkan untuk metode penciptaannya menggunakan metode penelitian berbasis praktik. Pengumpulan data melalui studi lapangan dengan cara observasi langsung dan studi pustaka untuk mendapatkan informasi penting tentang batik dan ubur-ubur. Dalam proses teknik perwujudan yang diimplememtasikan pada seluruh karya menggunakan teknik batik colet dan tutup celup dengan pewarna sintetis remasol dan napthol. Karya yang dihasilkan dari penciptaan Tugas Akhir ini adalah 4 karya busana kasual. Pada masing-masing karya memiliki keunikan visual tersendiri, namun ketika semua karya akan menghasilkan suatu keharmonisan antara busana dan penggunanya. Diharapkan dari penciptaan karya ini dapat bermanfaat bagi penikmat seni dan masyarakat pada umumnya. Selain itu juga mengubah sudut pandang pada sebagian masyarakat bahwa batk merupakan karya seni yang dapat dikembangkan sedemikian rupa tanpa batas, dapat memberi kontribusi dan wacana kreatif pada masyarakat tentang pengembangan karya seni kriya yang kreatif dan inovatif dalam dunia seni

Kinetics of Nonisothermal Degradation of Some Polymer Composites: Change of Entropy at the Formation of the Activated Complex from the Reagents

Studying the nonisothermal kinetics of degradation of rice husks in air or nitrogen atmosphere, polypropylene and tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer filled with different quantities of rice husks flour or the products of its thermal degradation, namely “white” or “black” rice husks ash, a linear dependence was observed between the ln and , known as the kinetic compensation effect or theta rule. A linear relationship was also established between and the change of the entropy Δ≠ for the formation of the activated complex from the reagents. These dependences are related to the assumption of identical kinetic mechanisms of thermal degradation of the composites studied. The negative values of Δ≠ obtained show that the activated complex is a “more organized” structure than the initial reactants and that these reactions may be classified as “slow” ones. It may be concluded that the products of the thermal degradation of rice husks in a fluidized bed reactor can successfully replace the more expensive synthetic fillers to obtain different polymer composites. These polymer composites can lead to the futuristic “organic-inorganic hybrid materials” with specific properties
