PENGARUH SENSE OF HUMOR TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAAN PSIKOLOGIS MAHASISWA TINGKAT AKHIR

Psychological well-being is the condition of an individual who can accept everything within himself so that his life has purpose and meaning. One of the factors that can support psychological well-being is a sense of humor because a person will be able to view every negative event more positively. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sense of humor on psychological well-being in final year students. This study used a correlational quantitative approach. The data collection method used accidental sampling. The subjects of this study were 201 final year students from various universities in Indonesia from semester 7 and above. The measuring instruments used were Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (RPWBS) for psychological well-being variables and Multidimensional Sense of Humor (MSHS) for sense of humor variables. The results showed a significant value of p = 0.000 <0.05 with a contribution value of 50.0% in the sense of humor variable to the psychological well-being variable. So it is found that the hypothesis is accepted in the sense that there is an influence between sense of humor on the psychological well-being of final year students

Three-dimensional simulations of non-stationary accretion by remnant black holes of compact object mergers

(abridged) Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with an Eulerian PPM code are presented for the time-dependent evolution of accretion tori around nonrotating and rotating stellar-mass black holes (BHs), using a pseudo-Newtonian gravitational potential to approximate the effects of general relativity. The initial configurations are assumed to be remnants of binary neutron star (NS) or NS+BH mergers and consist of a 4 solar mass BH with varied spin, girded by a torus with a mass between 0.01 and 0.2 solar masses. The evolution of tori without and with physical shear viscosity is simulated, using a realistic equation of state and following the energy loss and lepton number change due to neutrino emission by a neutrino-trapping scheme. The time-dependent efficiency of converting rest-mass energy to neutrinos is found to reach 10 percent, the efficiency of converting neutrino energy into a pair-photon fireball by neutrino annihilation can reach several percent. The rate of the latter process declines with time much less steeply than the total neutrino luminosity, because the ongoing protonization of the torus ensures a rather stable product of neutrino and antineutrino luminosities. The neutrino emission increases steeply with higher viscosity, larger torus mass, and larger BH spin in corotation with the torus. For rotation rates as expected for post-merger BHs (a > 0.5) and reasonable values of the alpha viscosity (alpha ~ 0.1), the considered tori release sufficient energy in neutrinos to account for the energetics of the well-localized short gamma-ray bursts recently detected by Hete and Swift, if collimation is invoked as predicted by hydrodynamic jet simulations.Comment: 23 pages, 15 figures (high resolution available upon request), accepted by Astron.

Feasibility Study of Solar Power Massive Usage in Indonesia: Yield versus Cost-Effective

The aim of this study is to analyze the cost production of solar power utilization comparing with its annual yield especially in Indonesia. Solar cell module employed is poly-crystalline silicone with Peak Power 20 Wp, Power Current (Imp) 1.17 A and Power Voltage (Vmp) 17.1 V. To obtain the maximum power of the sun, the module is static fixed in 10-20 N adjusting to the equator line. The measurement is conducted in Timah Manufacture Polytechnic which is situated in 1020' S and 1060 E. The output is observed by multimeter data logger for every hour average. The cable employed between solar module and the multimeter and the battery is NYA Eterna 2.5 mm2 450/750 V with SNI number 04-2698 SPLN 42, the long is 40 meter and have resistance about 0.6-0.7 W. The measurement output indicates that the maximum solar power is at 11.00 to 14.00 WIB. In these times, the current output is more than Imp of the Module. By calculating the average of energy received in a day, the energy received is 65%-75% of Imp. Therefore by mathematically calculation, the annual yield of current is about 4,982.68 Ampere and in 25 years will be around 124,566.90 Ampere. According to PLN statistic report in 2008, the average cost production in 2007 is Rp.706.62/KWH and the cost production of the solar energy is about Rp.440.819/KWH. This calculation is included the investment, overhead and 10% of inflation /year. By comparing to the regional minimum revenue (UMR) per month in 2008, the cost of investment for the solar power usage is about 6-7 times. Although break-even-point will be occurs in 10 years, the affordability of Indonesian for massive usage of solar power is still too hard and need funded by government and others funding groups.  Keywords: Solar Cell, Cost-Effective, Poly-Crystalline-Silicone, Annual Yiel

Scrap Rubber and Asphalt for Ballast Layer Improvement

The use of scrap rubber from waste motorcycle tire and asphalt materials is expected to improve the quality of the ballast structure. The objective of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of ballast mixture with additional scrap rubber (uniformed size 3/8†and graded size No.4, 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1") and asphalt materials through compressive strength test by Micro-Computer Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The samples are made in a ballast box with a size of 40 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm. The parameters of this research are the vertical deformation, the aggregate abrasion, and the elastic modulus of the ballast layer. It could be concluded that asphalt 2% able to improve the stiffness of the ballast layer so it could minimize the vertical deformation and increase the ability to retain the loads up to 28%. Moreover, the use of scrap rubber materials, especially with various sizes between No.4, 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" combined with 2% asphalt could reduce the ballast abrasion up to 57%. However, the use of scrap rubber material could reduce the stiffness of the ballast layer which leads to a decrease in the elastic modulus ranging from 50% to 60%. While on the other hand, asphalt material could improve the stiffness of the ballast layer so that the elastic modulus could be increased up to 21%
