A Web-based Geographic Information System for Aceh Natural Hazards

 Aceh province is the most affected area by the tsunami of 26 December 2004. Aceh also has experiencing a number of natural hazards; flood, earthquakes, and volcano’s eruptions. Until now, Aceh has no natural hazards information system which can be used to increase public awareness in order to reduce the impact of the hazards. Natural hazards information system provides hazard maps as the guideline for disaster risk mitigation planning. Therefore, the development of a Web GIS based information system for Aceh natural hazards, referred as Aceh Natural Hazards Information System (ANHIS), is a very strategic decision to increase public awareness of the risks of natural disaster hazard in Aceh. This paper proposes conceptual design and the development of prototype for ANHIS. The main purpose of ANHIS is to visualize many natural hazards maps and disseminate information of the hazardous areas for disaster agencies, researchers and communities in order to help them act on warning issue. In order to develop the prototype, the system requirements, configuration, system design and implementation are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the results of prototype for ANHIS are demonstrated in terms of individual hazard map and multi-hazard map of many natural hazards in Aceh. Finally, the conclusions give the perspectives for future implementation of ANHIS

The Effect of Dhikrullah on Brain Health According to Neuroscience

Dhikrullah according to verse 2 of chapter al-Anfal and verse 28 of chapter ar-Rad in the Koran has a vibrational effect on the calmness of the heart. Dhikrullah has been practiced by Muslims for more than a thousand years, but the explanation of the implications of the dhikrullah's vibration on human health from the neuroscience approach has yet to be completed. This study is an academic response to get scientific answers about the influence of dhikrullah on the health of the human brain. The attention of Islamic scholars to dhikrullah phenomena from the scientific approach is still far from hope, so the explanation of the effects of the dhikrullah's vibration on human mental health has not been completed. In this study, the authors used combined data, qualitative data from 4 respondents to find the model of dhikrullah and quantitative data from 10 subjects to obtain samples of brain waves through Electro Encephalo Graf (EEG) to see the effects of the dhikrullah on human brain waves. The results of the study show that the brain tends to adjust its frequency with the frequency of the sound stimulus it receives through the ear. Dhikrullah's vibration influences beta waves and alpha waves on the subject's brain waves while running the dhikrullah. According to EEG, dhikrullah is proven to be able to present alpha waves as a stimulus to neurotransmitters in the human brain to produce endorphins. Therefore, the authors conclude that this study is a new approach to see the process of the significance of the dhikrullah's vibration on human health. The United Nations, especially WHO, can use dhikrullah vibration as an approach to help human beings who need a solution from a spiritual approach permanently

SIFAT PAPAN SEMEN PARTIKEL KAYU KARET (Cement Board Property of Rubber Wood Particle)

Aim of the study was to assess the suitability of rubber wood particles in the production of cement boards. This research was conducted at the woodworkshop of the Forestry Faculty of province Tanjungpura University and the Government Polytechnic Laboratory of Pontianak. Factors examined include the use of particles of different size, namely rough particle (a1), medium particle (a2) and soft particle (a3), and using different cement qualities namely 100 % ( b1), 125 % ( b2) and 150 % ( b3). The properties of cement board particles tested included the physic properties (water quality and density) and mechanic properties (firmness of static refraction (MOR) and thickness reduction caused by 3 kg / cm surface pressure). The test result were compared to the standard of DIN 1101. The gathered data were analyzed using the factorial trial method with complete random model (RAL) and 3 (three) repetitions. The best results were adieved by combining soft particles with 150 % cement quality. The use of roughs Particles and 125 % cement quality produced the best density value. while the use of soft particles and 150 % cement quality produced best results regarding water quality, firmness of static refraction (MOR) and thickness reduction caused by 3 kg / cm surface pressure.
