Single-trial analysis of EEG during rapid visual discrimination: enabling cortically-coupled computer vision

We describe our work using linear discrimination of multi-channel electroencephalography for single-trial detection of neural signatures of visual recognition events. We demonstrate the approach as a methodology for relating neural variability to response variability, describing studies for response accuracy and response latency during visual target detection. We then show how the approach can be utilized to construct a novel type of brain-computer interface, which we term cortically-coupled computer vision. In this application, a large database of images is triaged using the detected neural signatures. We show how ‘corticaltriaging’ improves image search over a strictly behavioral response

Village Community and Flora Biodiversity Management in Home Garden System at Central of Sumba Regency

Flora biodiversity is a strategic resource due its various potential uses for human benefit. Population growth is sometimes considered to be a contributory factor in the degradation of the biological resources, conversely, the population plays an important role in its conservation. This research aimed to understand the flora biodiversity management, structure and composition of plants in home-garden system. The research was conducted in Central Sumba Regency. Methods used were interview and observation. Data were analysed descriptively and qualitatively. The result showed that the flora biodiversity management in home garden based on poly-culture approach, a holistic beneficially as a socio-cultural-religious attribute, economic-income and ecology-conservation. The structure and composition of plant in the home-garden they include the variation of the important value index. The expansion of the residential areas positively impact the flora biodiversity conservation in home-garden system

The Stern-Gerlach experiment and the electron spin: a quasi history example

Nossa proposta neste trabalho é utilizar o conceito de quasi-história como perspectiva de análise para a forma de apresentação didática de conteúdos de física. Pretendemos mostrar as transformações sofridas pelo conhecimento, desde os primeiros registros até a forma como ele aparece nos livros didáticos. O conteúdo a ser trabalhado é o experimento de Stern-Gerlach, geralmente associado à descoberta do spin do elétron, e que desempenhou um importante papel no desenvolvimento da teoria quântica no século XX. Analisando os trabalhos originais e utilizando alguns fatos da história da ciência, discutiremos as modificações sofridas por este conteúdo até a forma em que ele é apresentado nos livros didáticos utilizados nos cursos de graduação em física e engenharias.The aim of this work is to use the concept of quasi history to analyze the form of didactical presentation of the physics contents. We intend to stress the changes made to the knowledge, since the first records by the way it appears in textbooks. The content to work is the experiment of Stern-Gerlach, usually associated with the discovery of the electron spin, and which played an important role in the development of quantum theory in the twentieth century. Analyzing the original work and using some facts of history of science, we will discuss the modifications made by this content to the form in which it is presented in textbooks used in graduate courses in physics and engineering

Pengetahuan dan Perilaku Mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran dan Farmasi Universitas Cenderawasih dalam Upaya Pencegahan Kanker Serviks

The Study of Global Burden of Diseaase Cancer Collaboration shown In 2015, there were 17.5 million cancer cases worldwide and 8.7 million deaths. Aims of this research to find out the knowledge level and behavior the female students of medicine and pharmacy Uncen in efforts prevention of cervical cancer. This research is non experimental research which is analyzed descriptively. Cross sectionel design where data collection was done only one and data collection in August 2017 by survey method and questionnaire as research instrument. The location of the research was done in the faculty of medicine and program study of pharmacy Cenderawasih University. The results obtained from this study were total of 359 female students, age 22 respondents (23.12%), unmarried 98.89%, respondents from jayapura, living with parents, often discussing with family, especially mother, and they talked about reproductive health. the most respondents get information about cervical cancer prevention from lecturer's subjects that is 63,79%, electronic media 57,94% and 55,99% get information from print media. The conclusion of this research is the level of female student knowledge about cervical cancer, cervical cancer prevention and cervical cancer prevention behavior of female students of Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy study program of Cenderawasih University is considered good

Lende Ura, sebuah Inisiatif Masyarakat dalam Rehabilitasi Hutan dan Lahan di Sumba Barat Daya

Masyarakat lokal memiliki peran strategis dalam mendukung kegiatan rehabilitasi hutan dan lahan. Berbagai pola adaptasi masyarakat lokal terhadap lingkungan merupakan salah satu sumberdaya yang perlu mendapatkan perhatian dalam perencanaan pembangunan kehutanan berkelanjutan. Manusia tidak dapat dipisahkan dari lingkungannya, dan sebaliknya manusia adalah produk dari lingkungan, sehingga berbagai bentuk adaptasi lingkungan banyak dijumpai berdasarkan persepsi dan pengalaman berinteraksi dalam pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya hutan, tanah dan air. Inisiatif lokal pada tataran filosofis maupun praktis, sesungguhnya merupakan modal dasar bagi pembangunan. Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang inisiatif lokal Lende Ura yang ada pada masyarakat Sumba Barat Daya, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif melalui pendokumentasian literatur dan wawancara mendalam terkait fokus kajian. Penelitian dilakukan tahun 2009. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif naratif. Lende Ura merupakan salah satu bentuk inisiatif lokal yaitu sebuah filosofi kehidupan masyarakat di Sumba Barat Daya yang memandang hutan sebagai jembatan bagi datangnya hujan. Masyarakat memahami bahwa hutan yang terpelihara dengan baik akan menjadi jembatan bagi turunnya hujan sehingga mendukung USAha pertanian dan ketersediaan air bagi manusia dan makhluk hidup lainnya. Konsep Lende Ura mendorong masyarakat menghargai setiap komponen sumberdaya alam yang ada, serta berpengaruh baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung terhadap proses terjadinya hujan. Karenanya, masyarakat tidak melakukan penebangan liar, menghindari kebakaran hutan dan lahan, memelihara daerah tangkapan air melalui budidaya pertanian campuran lahan kering serta memanfaatkan hasil hutan non kayu

Indeks Kepuasan Pengguna Situs Web E-Gov di Bali dengan Metode EUCS dan CSI

Provinsi Bali memiliki 8 (delapan) situs web Pemerintah Kabupaten, 1 (satu) situs web Pemerintah Provinsi, dan 1 (satu) situs web pemerintah Kota. Akan tetapi pengelola dari masing – masing situs web e-gov tidak pernah melakukan pengukuran indeks kepuasan pengguna terhadap fasilitas layanan informasi yang ditampilkan pada situs web e-gov tersebut secara rutin. Pengukuran indeks kepuasan pengguna situs web e-gov secara nasional terakhir dilakukan oleh Kementrian Komunikasi dan Informatika (KOMINFO) pada ICT Pura tahun 2012. Untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pengguna terhadap fasilitas layanan pada situs web e-gov Pemerintah di Provinsi Bali, penelitian ini menggunakan metode End-User Satisfaction Index (EUCS) dan Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) untuk dapat mengetahui kategori web e-gov dalam suatu survei kepuasan dan memberikan rekomendasi perbaikan layanan informasi pada situs web e-gov masing –masing Pemerintah Daerah di Provinsi Bali. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah indeks kepuasan pengguna situs web e-gov yang menempatkan situs web Kabupaten Klungkung (tertinggi) dan situs web e-gov Kabupaten Tabanan (terendah)

Sistem Optimalisasi Daya Serap Air Tanah

Indonesia has been experiencing water crisis despite its large natural sources. The eastern part of Indonesia suffer more than other areas. This activity is proposing what so called rainfall water trap that can be used for irrigation and domestic needs when dry season is coming. The approach used to realize the program is technology application in the form of development of rainfall water trap. The program can be utilized by involving people or community in the area that is perceived to have water scarcity problem during the dry season
