One Dimensional Man and The Future of Indonesian Spirit of “Gotong Royong”

Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan signifikansi perkembangan teknologi terhadap pandangan hidup masyarakat modern yang kemudian dispesifikkan pada dinamika penghayatan dan implementasi nilai Gotong Royong. Semangat Gotong-royong di dalam masyarakat Indonesia mulai terkikis oleh dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh modernitas. Tesis Herbert Marcuse tentang “One-Dimensional Man” menjadi perspektif yang digunakan untuk merefleksikan kondisi sosial masyarakat modern. Metode analisis data yang digunakan yaitu metode analisis deduktif yang mengacu pada model penelitian kualitatif Alan Bryman. Penelitian ini menawarkan sebuah hipotesis yang disandarkan pada teori sosial Herbert Marcuse bahwa masyarakat modern didominasi oleh kesadaran palsu yang kemudian mereduksi manusia ke arah yang kontraproduktif dengan semangat Gotong-royong. Penelitian ini juga berupaya merekonstruksi teori Marcuse yakni dengan meletakkan sosio-epistemologi sebagai basis paradigmatis untuk memperkuat kerangka kerja implementasi nilai Gotong-royong menjadi sebuah praksis sosial.

Activated Carbon Derived From Pentace Triptera, Intsia Bijuga And Hevea Brasiliensis Sawdust Via Microwave-Induced Potassium Hydroxide Activation For Dyes Adsorption

Synthetic dyes are widely applied in various industries which has resulted in the water pollution. Therefore, this study aims to synthesis activated carbon (AC) from Pentace triptera (PS), Intsia bijuga (IS) and Hevea brasiliensis (HS) for blue (MB) and remazol brilliant violet 5R (RBV) dye adsorption via microwave-induced potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation adopted together with carbon dioxide (CO2) gasification. Optimum preparation conditions for all ACs prepared were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). ISAC showed high Bruneaur-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area and total pore volume of 952.23 m2/g and 0.584 cm3/g, respectively compared to PSAC and HSAC. All adsorbents best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model with ISAC showed higher maximum monolayer adsorption capacity (Qm) of 434.78 and 212.77 mg/g, respectively for MB and RBV dye at 30ºC. Kinetic studies showed that all system followed a pseudo-second order model with film diffusion was the rate-limiting step controlling adsorption. Thermodynamic studies confirmed that all systems were endothermic in nature. For the column studies, the better correlation of breakthrough data shown by Thomas and Yoon-Nelson model. The ACs had good reusability performance for MB and RBV adsorption especially up to three cycle using ethanol as solvent

STRUKTURASI IDENTITAS UMAT BERAGAMA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ANTHONY GIDDENS

Artikel ini mengkaji identitas umat beragam sebagai suatu konsep umum dalam diskursus sosiologi agama. Pengkajian tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori strukturasi Anthony Giddens. Adapun elemen utama dalam teori tersebut adalah struktur penandaan (signifikasi), struktur dominasi, dan struktur legitimasi. Ketiga elemen tersebut digunakan untuk memahami proses konstruksi identitas umat beragama, mulai dari pelibatan wacana, istilah, dan konfigurasi bahasa sebagai langkah mengartikulasikan pemahaman tentang realitas sosial. Pemahaman itu kemudian merigidkan simbol-simbol keagamaan yang menjadi penanda identitas kolektif. Tahapan berikutnya yaitu tahap pembakuan identitas kolektif sebagai identitas umat beragama yang dilegitimasi oleh kuasa-kuasa yang melekat pada pelaku (agency) sehingga menjadikan identitas umat beragama menjadi baku. Ketiga struktur itu saling terhubung dalam dualitas yang meneguhkan bahwa struktur bersifat mengakomodir (enabling) bukan pengekangan (constraining), di mana menjadikan tindakan sosial menjadi mungkin.This article examines the identity of various people as a general concept in the discourse of the sociology of religion. The assessment was carried out using the Anthony Giddens structuration approach. The main elements in this theory are the structure of signification, the structure of domination, and the structure of legitimacy. These three elements are used to understand the process of constructing the identity of religious communities, starting from the involvement of discourse, terms, and language as a step to articulate an understanding of social reality. That understanding then trifles the religious symbols that become collective identities. The next stage is the stage of standardizing collective identity as the identity of religious communities which is legitimized by the power attached to the actor (agency) so that the identity of the religious community becomes standardized. The three structures are interconnected in a duality that affirms that the structure is accommodating (enabling) not constraining, where social action becomes possible

Pilot study on investigation of Thermal Sensation Votes (TSV) and students' performance in naturally ventilated classroom

Thermal comfort is essential for students' wellbeing, health, and performance. A conducive classroom must consider the acceptable range of heat and its impact on student performance. The study aims to conduct a pilot test for the determination of thermal acceptability and student performance in existing Malaysian classrooms using physical and subjective assessments. The methodology requires physical measurement using KIMO AMI 310 instrument, as well as subjective assessment via satisfaction survey adapted from ASHRAE 55 and performance assessment adapted from WHO Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery (WHO NCTB). Physical measurement parameters, such as indoor temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and prevailing mean outdoor temperature, were measured in parallel with subjective assessment of thermal acceptability and performance assessment. Three days of data collection were conducted in the secondary school located in Endau, Johor. There are three classes involved with a total of 46 students. Each class was equipped with two ceiling fans and both ceiling fans were regulated to the speed of four. The overall physical and subjective assessment procedure took approximately 60 minutes per classroom. The findings showed that all the investigated classes were in the range of acceptable operative temperature and complied with ASHRAE Standard 55 for both 80% and 90% acceptability limits. Pearson correlation analysis showed a small positive relationship between thermal sensation vote (TSV) and learning performance was obtained. The results also showed a higher performance score at the TSV value of -1 suggesting the students tend to have higher performance scores when they voted feeling slightly cool. Thus, the results of the pilot test gave new insight into the effective method to improve the methodology for the actual data collection
