This research is a development (Research and Development), while the design development using 4-D model of a modified. Students who become the subject of research is class student X.2 as many as 30 students at SMA Negeri 1 Pangkajene. Research data collection is done through a questionnaire sheet motivation, observation sheets participation and achievement test and then the data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the device is an authentic assessment developed included performance tests, journals students and LKS after expert validation and limited testing, the device authentic assessment is declared valid, practical and reliable, making it feasible to use in teaching physics, especially on material temperature and Heat. With the conclusion of a) a device profile Penialain valid authentic, practical and reliable, b) the authentic assessment increases student motivation, c) the authentic assessment increases student participation, d) authentic assessment tools improve student learning outcomes. The results of descriptive study showed that the enforceability of the authentic assessment is good and is in the category entirely accomplished with increased 18.95% student motivation, student participation increased by 26.67% and 16.56% of student learning outcomes. It is therefore recommended no studies that are relevant to this study by adding penilaia self (self-asessesment) and using authentic assessment as an alternative assessment for professional teachers

Riparian Corridors Encroachment and Flood Risk Assessment in Ile-Ife: A GIS Perspective

The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.Recent development and expansion of paved surfaces as a result of urban growth has resulted in encroachment of riparian corridors, the immediate effect of which poses flood risk to affected areas. Geographic Information System (GIS) method was employed in this study to determine the level of encroachment as well as areas susceptible/at risk to flood and flooding. Results from the study indicated that urban and agricultural land uses had encroached significantly on the riparian corridor and had disrupted the ecosystem services of the corridor. Results also indicated that major parts of the watershed had low flood risk but serious encroachment exists therein. Buildings as many as 1129 had already encroached into the 30 metres minimum setback standard which are mainly riparian corridor and the buildings which had encroached into the corridor fall within the high flood risk zone of the watershed

Selective Attention for Context-aware Neural Machine Translation

Despite the progress made in sentence-level NMT, current systems still fall short at achieving fluent, good quality translation for a full document. Recent works in context-aware NMT consider only a few previous sentences as context and may not scale to entire documents. To this end, we propose a novel and scalable top-down approach to hierarchical attention for context-aware NMT which uses sparse attention to selectively focus on relevant sentences in the document context and then attends to key words in those sentences. We also propose single-level attention approaches based on sentence or word-level information in the context. The document-level context representation, produced from these attention modules, is integrated into the encoder or decoder of the Transformer model depending on whether we use monolingual or bilingual context. Our experiments and evaluation on English-German datasets in different document MT settings show that our selective attention approach not only significantly outperforms context-agnostic baselines but also surpasses context-aware baselines in most cases.Comment: Accepted at NAACL-HLT 201

Trends in the Development of Physics Learning Multimedia in Indonesia: A Literature Review

This study aims to analyze the development of multimedia technology in physics learning based on the needs of the process and learning outcomes. This research is a literature review research. The research subjects consisted of ten journal articles selected from the Scopus Index database in the last five years. The results of data analysis show that learning physics with multimedia can stimulate students' learning abilities well. The trend of research development shows that the use of multimedia in physics learning in Indonesia is growing rapidly at this time. In addition, multimedia learning physics is more on the content of introduction to solid matter physics, earth and space science, multimedia learning physics, experimental physics, electricity, modern physics, introduction to core physics, and quantum physics. The conclusion obtained from this analysis is that the level of multimedia needs in physics learning in Indonesia is still very hig

The Representation of Persians as Villains in a Movie ‘300’: An Analysis of Orientalism Perspective by Edward Said

This paper investigates the ways the Persians are represented in the movie ‘300’. Furthermore, the study also analyzes the relationship between the movie and the current socio-political issues between the United States and Iran. This study uses Edward Said’s (1978) Orientalism as the main theoretical framework and Davis, Mules and Thwaites’ (1994) character and characterization as the supporting theoretical framework. In addition, Brian’s (2005) Film and Politicsin Americais used to to analyze the relationship between the movie ‘300’ and the socio-political issues between the U.S. and Iran. The study finds that Persians are characterized as being inferior, evil, savage, bestial, and corrupt,amplifying their positions as the villains in the movie. This negative portrayals, from a perspective of the Orientalist, areforms of pejorative stereotypes. With regard to the relationship between the movie and the current socio-political issue between the U.S. and Iran, it seems apparent that the movie is used asapropaganda by the U.S. government. This can be clearly seen from the negative representation of Persians as villains, the movie producer, and the time of the movie release. All the findings above indicate that a film can be used as a tool for a propaganda.Keywords: Orientalism, Orient, Occident, Character and Characterization, Representation, Persian

On Improving The Performance And Resource Utilization of Consolidated Virtual Machines: Measurement, Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction

This dissertation addresses the performance related issues of consolidated \emph{Virtual Machines} (VMs). \emph{Virtualization} is an important technology for the \emph{Cloud} and data centers. Essential features of a data center like the fault tolerance, high-availability, and \emph{pay-as-you-go} model of services are implemented with the help of VMs. Cloud had become one of the significant innovations over the past decade. Research has been going on the deployment of newer and diverse set of applications like the \emph{High-Performance Computing} (HPC), and parallel applications on the Cloud. The primary method to increase the server resource utilization is VM consolidation, running as many VMs as possible on a server is the key to improving the resource utilization. On the other hand, consolidating too many VMs on a server can degrade the performance of all VMs. Therefore, it is necessary to measure, analyze and find ways to predict the performance variation of consolidated VMs. This dissertation investigates the causes of performance variation of consolidated VMs; the relationship between the resource contention and consolidation performance, and ways to predict the performance variation. Experiments have been conducted with real virtualized servers without using any simulation. All the results presented here are real system data. In this dissertation, a methodology is introduced to do the experiments with a large number of tasks and VMs; it is called the \emph{Incremental Consolidation Benchmarking Method} (ICBM). The experiments have been done with different types of resource-intensive tasks, parallel workflow, and VMs. Furthermore, to experiment with a large number of VMs and collect the data; a scheduling framework is also designed and implemented. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the ICBM and framework
