Joint Planck and WMAP Assessment of Low CMB Multipoles

The remarkable progress in cosmic microwave background (CMB) studies over past decade has led to the era of precision cosmology in striking agreement with the $\Lambda$CDM model. However, the lack of power in the CMB temperature anisotropies at large angular scales (low-$\ell$), as has been confirmed by the recent Planck data also (up to $\ell=40$), although statistically not very strong (less than $3\sigma$), is still an open problem. One can avoid to seek an explanation for this problem by attributing the lack of power to cosmic variance orcan look for explanations i.e., different inflationary potentials or initial conditions for infl ation to begin with, non-trivial topology, ISW effect etc. Features in the primordial power spectrum (PPS) motivated by the early universe physics has been the most common solution to address this problem. In the present work we also follow this approach and consider a set of PPS which have features and constrain the parameters of those using WMAP 9 year and Planck data employing Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis. The prominent feature of all the models of PPS that we consider is an infra-red cut off which leads to suppression of power at large angular scales. We consider models of PPS with maximum three extra parameters and use Akaike information criterion ($AIC$) and Bayesian information criterion ($BIC$) of model and Bayesian information criterion ($BIC$) of model selection to compare the models. For most models, we find good constraints for the cut off scale $k_c$, however, for other parameters our constraints are not that good. We find that sharp cut off model gives best likelihood value for the WMAP 9 year data, but is as good as power law model according to $AIC$. For the joint WMAP 9+Planck data set, Starobinsky model is slightly preferred by $AIC$ which is also able to produce CMB power suppression up to $\ell\leq30$ to some extent.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables, matches with the published version, abstract is shortened to keep it within arXiv's limit (1920 characters

PEMBELAJARAN GEOMETRI MELALUI PMRI BERBANTUAN E-LEARNING DI MASA COVID-19 PADA MAHASISWA UNIVERSITAS PGRI PALEMBANG

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana kemampuan mahasiswa PGRI dalam menyelesaikan pembelajaran pembuatan bahan ajar matematika geometri berkonteks PMRI. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Universitas PGRI Palembang melalui berbantuan E-Learning SISFO Universitas PGRI Palembang pada kelas 5G PGSD. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah dengan metode deskriftif kualitatif. Sumber data adalah mahasiswa yang diminta untuk membuat bahan ajar dengan menggunakan metode PMRI. pada pertemuan pertama 32% yang sudah mendekati bahan ajar benar, pada pertemuan ke 2 mahasiwa sudah sedikit memahami tentang pembelajaran tersebut sehingga ada penambahan dalam persen menjadi 50%,sehingga masih 15% yang belum sedikit mengerti tentang pebuatan bahan ajar PMRI ini, pada minggu selanjutnya sudah hampir 95% mengerti tentang bahan ajar matematika melalui PMRI ini. Hasil pembelajarannya menggunakan dokumentasi dan angket hasil dalam pembuatan bahan ajar dalam pembelajaran PMRI di matakuliah Pengembangan Pembelajaran matematika SD.Kata Kunci: Pembelajaran, PMRI, E-learnin

Komunikasi Kelompok “Social Climber” Pada Kelompok Pergaulan Di Surabaya Townsquare (Sutos)

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui cara berkomunikasi dalam kelompok “social climber” pada saat berada dalam lingkungan pergaulan mereka di Surabaya Townsquare (Sutos). Skripsi ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Metode yang digunakan oleh peneliti adalah studi kasus dengan observasi serta wawancara mendalam sebagai metode pengumpulan data. Pada akhirnya penelitian studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran serta pemahaman terhadap proses komunikasi kelompok “social climber”. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam aktivitas komunikasinya, kelompok Climber menggunakan media untuk menyampaikan pesan mereka, berupa pesan verbal (istilah-istilah) maupun juga pesan non verbal (isyarat gerakan tubuh, fashion, gadget, dan aktivitas di sosial media). Setiap pesan dipilih sesuai dengan apa yang ingin disampaikan kepada anggota kelompok Climber ataupun publik lingkungan pergaulan mereka dengan cara menunjukkan peran tertentu, yaitu mereka berada di dalam kelas sosial menengah keatas. Kesan ini dimunculkan oleh kelompok Climber sebagai suatu pertunjukan agar sudut pandang yang melihat ini (publik lingkungan pergaulan dan anggota kelompok) sesuai dengan tujuan mereka yaitu "dipandang" berasal dari kalangan menengah ke atas dan mereka dapat diterima oleh anggota kelompok maupun publik dalam lingkungan pergaulannya

Analisis Kepuasan Masyarakat Peserta Program Sarase Warga Sukowati (Saraswati) Terhadap Pelayanan Di RSUD Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Kabupaten Sragen (Studi Pelayanan Pasien Rawat Inap)

Society satisfaction is a condition where the service performance received is accordance with or greater than the people expectation of the public service. In order that the implementation of health service provider for poor people can run well and be optimum in improving the level of public health, the Government of Sragen held a regional health insurance program namely Sarase Warga Sukowati (Saraswati). The public health service providers in this study is RSUD dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro in Sragen Regency. The research methodology used was SERVQUAL to measure the satisfaction of Saraswati Program Member based on their expectation on the performance of service which is run by Parasuraman et al (1985). The type of research is descriptive analysis through quantitative approach by involved 90 respondents, namely the Saraswati Program Member which was hospitalized. Then the data analysis technique used Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) in form of gap analysis with compatibility level and cartesian diagram. The result of the study indicates that based on the service quality theory by Parasuraman et al in the dimension of service quality: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and emphaty, the overall average dimension of compatibility level is amounted to 90,01% so that it is categorized as satisfying. While the analysis result of cartesian diagram indicates that the indicator of the ease of procedure, waiting room availability and the hospitality of medical personnels are categorized to A quadran so that the performance is less satisfying. Suggestions that the writer can give are to add customer service counters that explain the procedures and assist in completing the inpatient service facilities and provide optimum waiting room for television media facilities, as well as excellent training services on how to tidy, friendly and competent in patient positions; Service ethics and establishment of attitudes/ attitudes of service; Patient type tip; And service role play
