KAJIAN MAKNA LUKISAN EKSPRESIONIS AFFANDI

Affandi is Indonesia’s most outstanding painter. An exprecionist master, his work have puIndonesia on the map of international art. He embodies throught his work the successful aculturationbetween Indonesian and western artistic inputs. His painting give Indonesian artistic tradition, whichpervade all his life and works, a totally new expressive language. When faced with hardship, that oyouth in a county under the yoke of the colonizer, his answer has always been to work and work moreHe thus became an artist addicted to his art. The subject of this writing is to study Affandi’s peculliaapproach toward the problems of form, function and meaning-by form is meant the visual aspect of hiwork; by function their use and utility; and by meaning their content. With regard to the theoriticaframework a combination of art theory, aesthetic, cultural theory, theory of symbols and functionalismis called upon when relevant. The study is qualitative and it is therefore supported by research on theartist’s background, working techniques and processes as well as by research on his work proper. Anevaluation of his influence is also presented

Privacy Preserving Optics Clustering

OPTICS is a well-known density-based clustering algorithm which uses DBSCAN theme without producing a clustering of a data set openly, but as a substitute, it creates an augmented ordering of that particular database which represents its density-based clustering structure. This resulted cluster-ordering comprises information which is similar to the density based clustering’s conforming to a wide range of parameter settings. The same algorithm can be applied in the field of privacy-preserving data mining, where extracting the useful information from data which is distributed over a network requires preservation of privacy of individuals’ information. The problem of getting the clusters of a distributed database is considered as an example of this algorithm, where two parties want to know their cluster numbers on combined database without revealing one party information to other party. This issue can be seen as a particular example of secure multi-party computation and such sort of issues can be solved with the assistance of proposed protocols in our work along with some standard protocols

LOAD BALANCING FOR BIG DATA ENTITY MATCHING USING BLOCK SPLIT

Entity Matching (EM) is a complex problem and has great impact on data quality. In EM we usually match all the combination of entity pairs using different similarity measures and judge if there is any match between entities. Mapreduce based parallel programing model can be used to match these entities. Even distribution of data into the map and reduce tasks will play vital role in the productivity of Mapreduce based programing model. If the dataset is large and has skewed data, then the distribution should be done effectively to achieve load balancing. In this paper, I have implemented an approach of blocking technique called “Block Split”. Block split will reduce the search space of match tasks by splitting larger blocks into multiple small blocks and process it using mapreduce model. This approach utilizes two mapreduce jobs, one to identify the data distribution in each block and use this distribution to perform the match tasks in the second job. The effectiveness of block split approach is described in terms of ‘recall’ and ‘precision’. To improve recall I iteratively applied blocking of different keys by assigning every input record to different blocks (one per blocking key) and then found matches per blocks. Using this we will most likely find more matches but, we may come across many redundant matches. I have optimized the above approach by using “Signature Based Pair Comparison”. We evaluated all our approaches on spark clusters

A Case Study of Turnaround Principal Identification and Selection in One Urban School District

Through a case study approach, this qualitative study examined public school district leaders’ perspectives on turnaround principal competencies and actions. Furthermore, this study explored the strategies for identifying and selecting turnaround principals among district leaders in one district and their perceptions of the challenges associated with turnaround principal shortages. Participant responses were compared to existing, research-based turnaround principal competencies and led to direct reflections of the existing competencies. The research findings indicated that participant perspectives of the competencies associated with turnaround principals reflect existing, research-based competencies. The results also indicated that the participants placed more emphasis on certain competencies than others. Based on participant perspectives, two competencies associated with turnaround principals emerged: belief in children and job affinity. Finally, the researcher found that while the use of turnaround leader competencies might serve as strong indicators for identifying potential leaders, participants in this study did not utilize competencies in isolation or consistently in practice during selection and identification processes

HOFKER PELUKIS REALIS PENGAGUM EKSOTISME BALI

Seni lukis realis merupakan salah satu stilistik yang berkembang di Indonesia yang banyak digemari oleh para seniman, terlebih lagi pada tahun 40-an. Salah satu seniman yang menekuni stilistik realis adalah Willem Gerrad Hofker asal Amsterdam, Belanda yang sangat tertarik dengan objek wanita Bali dengan segala aktifitas kehidupannya. Sebagai seniman realis, Hofker mengungkapkan realitas objek masyarakat Bali terutama para wanita dengan tatanan busanya. Budaya berbusana wanita Bali seperti yang nampak pada karya Hofker sebenernya merupakan tradisi masyarakat setempat pada 1940-an dan sebelumnya. Budaya seperti itu pada masa sekarang masih dapat dijumpai di daerah pedesaan, terutama generasi tua yang dulunya pernah melewati tradisi berbusana seperti itu. Penampilan berbusana seperti itu tentunya merupakan hal menarik, khas, dan istimewa bagi Hofker

Conservative management of vesicovaginal fistula: a rare case report

Vesicovaginal Fistula is a debilitating condition that has affected women for millinea. Spontaneous closures of VVF with continuous bladder drainage for varying periods have been reported by few authors. Here we present a case of post hysterectomy VVF managed conservatively. A 45 year old parous woman presented with continuous leakage of urine following hysterectomy. The clinical diagnosis of Vesicovaginal Fistula was proven by cystoscopy and CT cystography. VVF healed by continuous bladder drainage for 4 weeks. Non-surgical treatment with continuous bladder drainage can also result in complete healing of small VVFs

Real quantum operations and state transformations

Resource theory of imaginarity provides a useful framework to understand the role of complex numbers, which are essential in the formulation of quantum mechanics, in a mathematically rigorous way. In the first part of this article, we study the properties of ``real'' (quantum) operations both in single-party and bipartite settings. As a consequence, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for state transformations under real operations and show the existence of ``real entanglement'' monotones. In the second part of this article, we focus on the problem of single copy state transformation via real quantum operations. When starting from pure initial states, we completely solve this problem by finding an analytical expression for the optimal fidelity of transformation, for a given probability of transformation and vice versa. Moreover, for state transformations involving arbitrary initial states and pure final states, we provide a semidefinite program to compute the optimal achievable fidelity, for a given probability of transformation.Comment: 9 pages.

Реалізація принципу рівності перед кримінальним законом під час кримінально-правової кваліфікації діяння в Україні

In the article under consideration, the author proves facts in a number of scientific provisions that are important for the practice of criminal law. After analyzing the scientific works on this issue, it was proved, that the study of the principle of equality is relevant given the distorted understanding of the principle in Ukraine. The article proves the thesis about the role of the principle of equality before the criminal law during the crime qualification. They can be described by the following provisions: 1) compliance with the rules of criminal law qualification of the act and application them to persons regardless of their racial, national, social origin, religion, social or political views, professional status, etc .; 2) at the same time, law enforcement bodies during the criminal-legal qualification must take into account both the objective, legal differences of the persons, whose action is qualified, and the individual characteristics of the act itself. Such consideration of objective differences requires «differentia equality». Violations of the principle of equality before the criminal law will be errors or abuses of law enforcement agencies. Such errors or abuses are of two types: 1) different criminal-legal qualification of the act in the case of similar legal situations; 2) the same criminal-legal qualification of the act in the case of different legal situations; 3) ignoring the features that have legal significance for the qualification. These errors or abuses can be considered a violation of the principle of equality before the criminal law only if they discriminate against certain categories of subjects on certain grounds. Therefore, not any errors or abuses in qualifications can be considered a violation of the principle of equality before the criminal law, but only discriminatory. Such errors are unintentional. Instead, abuse is always intentional, often due to non-legal material factorsВ результате исследования получен ряд научных положений, которые имеют важное значение для практики применения уголовного закона. Проанализировав научные работы по рассматриваемому вопросу, было доказано, что исследование принципа равенства является актуальным, учитывая искаженное понимание рассматриваемого принципа в Украине. В статье доказано тезисы о роли принципа равенства перед уголовным законом при уголовно-правовой квалификации. Их можно описать следующими положениями: 1) соблюдение правил уголовно-правовой квалификации деяния и применять их в отношении лиц, независимо от их расового, национального, социального происхождения, религиозной принадлежности, общественных или политических взглядов, профессионального статуса и т.д.; 2) вместе с тем, правоприменительным органам при уголовно-правовой квалификации необходимо учитывать как объективные, правовые различия лиц, действия которых квалифицируется, так и индивидуальные признаки самого деяния. Такое учета объективных различий требует дифференцированная равенство. Нарушением принципа равенства перед уголовным законом будут ошибки или злоупотребления правоприменительных органов. Такие ошибки или злоупотребления бывают двух видов: 1) разная уголовно-правовая квалификация деяния в случае подобных юридических ситуаций; 2) одинаковая уголовно-правовая квалификация деяния в случае различных юридических ситуаций; 3) игнорирование признаков, имеющих правовое значение для квалификации. Эти ошибки или злоупотребления могут считаться нарушением принципа равенства перед уголовным законом только тогда, когда они дискриминируют отдельные категории субъектов по определенным признакам. Поэтому, не любые ошибки или злоупотребления в квалификации могут считаться нарушением принципа равенства перед уголовным законом, а лишь дискриминирующие. Такие ошибки имеют непреднамеренный характер. Зато, злоупотребление всегда является умышленным, часто обусловлено неправовыми материальными факторамиУ результаті дослідження одержано низку наукових положень, які мають важливе значення для практики застосування кримінального закону. Проаналізувавши наукові роботи щодо розглядуваного питання, було доведено, що дослідження принципу рівності є актуальним з огляду викривлене розумінням розглядуваного принципу в Україні. У статті доведено тези про роль принципу рівності перед кримінальним законом під час кримінально-правової кваліфікації. Їх можна описати такими положеннями: 1) дотримання правил кримінально-правової кваліфікації діяння та застосовувати їх щодо осіб, незалежно від їх расового, національного, соціального походження, релігійної приналежності, суспільних або політичних поглядів, професійного статусу тощо; 2) разом з тим, правозастосовним органам під час кримінально-правової кваліфікації необхідно враховувати як об’єктивні, правові відмінності осіб, діяння яких кваліфікується, так й індивідуальні ознаки самого діяння. Таке врахування об’єктивних відмінностей вимагає диференційована рівність. Порушенням принципу рівності перед кримінальним законом будуть помилки або зловживання правозастосовних органів. Такі помилки або зловживання бувають двох видів: 1) різна кримінально-правова кваліфікація діяння у випадку подібних юридичних ситуацій; 2) однакова кримінально-правова кваліфікація діяння у випадку різних юридичних ситуацій; 3) ігнорування ознак, які мають правове значення для кваліфікації. Ці помилки або зловживання можуть вважатися порушенням принципу рівності перед кримінальним законом лише тоді, коли вони дискримінують окремі категорії суб’єктів за певними ознаками. Тому, не будь-які помилки або зловживання у кваліфікації можуть вважатися порушенням принципу рівності перед кримінальним законом, а лише дискримінуючі. Такі помилки мають ненавмисний характер. Натомість, зловживання завжди є умисним, часто зумовлене неправовими матеріальними чинникам

Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories

Quantum resource theories provide a mathematically rigorous way of understanding the nature of various quantum resources. An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other within the physical constraints of the theory. The standard approach to this problem is to study approximate or probabilistic transformations. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. Here, we investigate this intermediate regime, providing limits on both, the fidelity and the probability of state transitions. We derive limitations on the transformations, which are valid in all quantum resource theories, by providing bounds on the maximal transformation fidelity for a given transformation probability. We also show that the deterministic version of this bound can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels, which goes beyond the previously known bounds of channel manipulations. As an application, we show that the fidelity between Popescu-Rohrlich box and an isotropic box cannot increase via any locality preserving superchannel. Furthermore, we completely solve the question of stochastic-approximate state transformations via local operations and classical communications in the case of pure bipartite entangled state transformations of arbitrary dimensions and two-qubit entanglement for arbitrary final states, when starting from a pure bipartite state.Comment: 6+9 pages, 2 figures, significantly changed, new results adde
