Projection Analysis of Business Text in The Jakarta Post

This research aimed to find out kinds of projection relation and to explain how the most dominant projection relation is used in business texts in The Jakarta Post. This research was conducted by using the descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data were taken from clause complexes in some business text articles such as “RI Asks India to Cut Palm Oil Tariffs” (Text A), “Dumai refinery to cut costs by 25%” (Text B) and “NTT exports octopus to China” (Text C). As a result, both projected locution and projected idea were obtained. In terms of projection relation analysis, it is found that two kinds of projection relation were used in Text A, Text B, and Text C. The kinds that were not found in the three articles of business texts in The Jakarta Post were hypotactic idea and paratactic idea. The kind of projection relation which dominantly occurred in the three articles of business texts in the paper of The Jakarta Post was hypotactic locution with the frequency reaching to 61,54% while the frequency of paratactic locution was only 38,46 %.     Keywords: Projection relation, the Jakarta Post, business texts

Peran Center for Internasional Forestry Research (Cifor) Di Indonesia Terkait Mekanisme Reducing Emission From Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) 2007-2014

This research aimed to cexplain the role of an International organization CIFOR at a Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Indonesia. The organization is an organization that focused on forestry research. Since the issue of climate change become the attention of the world and also the attention of student. Indonesia became one of the foremost in support of the issue. In COP 13 which is a string of framework under the UNFCCC appears a scheme for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. The scheme also is the reference Indonesia and other countries for support to solve the problem of climate change, such a scheme known as REDD. The theory used in this paper is the role theory. In this research, The method used of qualitative methods, qualitative research is a descriptive understanding. This research found that the role of International organizations in supporting and contributing to problem a country can be as Motivator, communicator, and Fasilitator

Performance Analysis of a Monopole Antenna with Fluorescent Tubes at 4.9GHz Application.

This paper presents of analysis the performance monopole antenna with fluorescent tubes. The antenna was designed at the operating frequency which is 4.9 GHz. The commercially fluorescent tubes consist of a glass tube filled with mixture mercury vapor and argon gas. After get sufficient voltage the gas inside the fluorescent tube will ionize to plasma and formed plasma column. The plasma frequency is equal to 5.634e11 Hz. The plasma is highly conducting and acts as a reflector. When all of the tubes surrounding the antenna are electrified, the radiation is trapped inside when the plasma frequency is greater than radio frequency. An accomplishment of the design has been carried out using CST microwave studio software. The developed antenna has potential in military application. To conclude, antenna’s performance was analyzed in terms of return loss, radiation pattern and gain. Keywords : Plasma, monopole antenna, return loss, radiation pattern, gain

Non-Supersymmetric Attractors and Entropy Function

We study the entropy of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes which exhibit attractor mechanism by making use of the entropy function. This method, being simple, can be used to calculate corrections to the entropy due to higher order corrections to the action. In particular we apply this method for five dimensional non-supersymmetric extremal black hole which carries two magnetic charges and find the R^2 corrections to the entropy. Using the behavior of the action evaluated for the extremal black hole near the horizon, we also present a simple expression for C-function corrected by higher order corrections.Comment: 15 pages, Latex file, v2: references and some additional comments added, minor corrections, some comments about 5D supersymmetric BH added. v3:minor corrections, few comments added, refs. adde

PrivateRide: A Privacy-Enhanced Ride-Hailing Service

In the past few years, we have witnessed a rise in the popularity of ride-hailing services (RHSs), an on-line marketplace that enables accredited drivers to use their own cars to drive ride-hailing users. Unlike other transportation services, RHSs raise significant privacy concerns, as providers are able to track the precise mobility patterns of millions of riders worldwide. We present the first survey and analysis of the privacy threats in RHSs. Our analysis exposes high-risk privacy threats that do not occur in conventional taxi services. Therefore, we pro- pose PrivateRide, a privacy-enhancing and practical solu- tion that offers anonymity and location privacy for riders, and protects drivers’ information from harvesting attacks. PrivateRide lowers the high-risk privacy threats in RHSs to a level that is at least as low as that of many taxi services. Using real data-sets from Uber and taxi rides, we show that PrivateRide significantly enhances riders’ privacy, while preserving tangible accuracy in ride matching and fare calculation, with only negligible effects on convenience. Moreover, by using our Android implementation for experimental evaluations, we show that PrivateRide’s overhead during ride setup is negligible. In short, we enable privacy- conscious riders to achieve levels of privacy that are not possible in current RHSs and even in some conventional taxi services, thereby offering a potential business differentiator

Semiclassical Strings Probing NS5 Brane Wrapped on S^5

We study little string theory on R^1 x S^5, defined by a theory which lives on type IIA N NS5 branes wrapped on S^5, using its supergravity dual. In particular we study semiclassical rotating closed strings in this background. We also consider Penrose limit of this background that leads to a plane wave on which string theory is exactly solvable.Comment: 14 pages, Latex, v2: typos corrected, Refs. added, v3: typos correcte

New Attractors, Entropy Function and Black Hole Partition Function

By making use of the entropy function formalism we study the generalized attractor equations in the four dimensional N=2 supergravity in presence of higher order corrections. This result might be used to understand a possible ensemble one could associate to an extremal black hole.Comment: 20 pages, latex file, V2: minor corrections, typos corrected, Refs added, V3: the version appeared in JHE

District flood vulnerability index: urban decision-making tool

Flood vulnerability assessment as an essential part of the urban flood management is done by various methods by several researchers. In fact, the improvement in assessment methods is related to the necessity for enhanced decision-making procedures; for instance, economic or infrastructural investments in cities can be assigned in the best form. To achieve this aim, introducing indices for evaluating vulnerability and identifying more vulnerable zones and then doing relevant comparisons can be useful. District flood vulnerability index (DFVI) developed by the author uses 25 indicators in its calculation. Nevertheless, it is obvious that some of these indicators have no effect on the consequences. This paper presents the results of the analysis for the selection of the most significant indicators of the DFVI construction. This index is appropriate for urban district scaling (or: the urban district scale) and the various components of flood vulnerability (social, economic, environmental and physical). DFVI was made by analyzing the indicators’ relevance and by studying the main indicators needed to depict reality of the urban district floods in an effective way. For this purpose, expert elicitation was done by Delphi and AHP method in two separate phases. Then, all these results were combined in order to construct DFVI equations. Finally, the index was implemented in Kuala Lumpur city’s districts. This paper outlines which district of cities (in this case Kuala Lumpur) are most vulnerable to flood hazard with regard to the system’s components, that is, social, physical, environmental and economic
