RACIAL PREJUDICE IN WILL EISNER’S FAGIN THE JEW GRAPHIC NOVEL

This study discusses  racial prejudice issue experienced by main character in a graphic novel entitled Fagin The Jew by Will Eisner (2003).  This study aims to explore the racial prejudice through the prejudice scale as the manifestation of prejudice action and also reveal the ego defense as the response to prejudice.  The method used in conducting this study is qualitative approach and the theory of prejudice by Allport (1954) is used to analyze the data.  The results  show  that there are four scales of prejudice act occur within the story.  These scales are verbal rejection (antilocution), avoidance, discrimination, and physical attack. Moreover, the study exposes that the victims did some ego defenses mechanism, namely denial of membership, slyness and cunning and enhanced striving

Generation of the second-harmonic Bessel beams via nonlinear Bragg diffraction

We generate conical second-harmonic radiation by transverse excitation of a two-dimensional annular periodically-poled nonlinear photonic structure with a fundamental Gaussian beam. We show that these conical waves are the far-field images of the Bessel beams generated in a crystal by parametric frequency conversion assisted by nonlinear Bragg diffraction.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. submitte

Hubungan Motivasi Berprestasi, Prilaku Kepemimpinan Kepala Sekolah Dan Etos Kerja Dengan Kinerja Guru Di SMA N 1 Kubutambahan

This study aimed to determine: (1) the relationship between achievement motivation with teacher performance in SMA N 1 Kubutambahan, (2) the relationship between principal leadership behaviors with teacher performance in SMA N 1 Kubutambahan, (3) the relationship between the performance of the teachers work ethic in SMA N 1 Kubutambahan, (4) simultaneous relationship between achievement motivation, school leadership and work ethic with the performance of teachers in SMA N 1 Kubutambahan. This study was designed with a correlational design ex-post facto by using a quantitative approach.The study population was all teachers in SMA N 1 Kubutambahan. The sample retrieval technique using census study with the number 47. Data were collected by questionnaires. Data were analyzed by multiple regression and partial analysis. The results showed that: (1) there is a significant contribution to the achievement motivation with teacher performance through the regression equation Y = 95.582 + 0.669 X1 (p <0.05) with a contribution of 44.6% and the effective contribution of 18.26%, (2) there is a significant contribution between principal leadership behaviors with teacher performance through the regression equation Y = 91.918 + 0.705 X2 (p <0.05) with a contribution of 59.7% and the effective contribution of 35.95%, (3) there is a significant contribution to the work ethos of teacher performance through the regression equation Y = 83.236 + 0.762 X3 (p <0.05) with a contribution of 41.9% and the effective contribution of 18.07%, (4) there is a significant contribution between achievement motivation, school leadership behavior, and work ethos simultaneously with the performance of teachers of SMAN I Kubutambahan. through the regression equation Y = 55.794 + 0.274 X1 + 0.425 X2 + 0.328 X3 (p <0.05) with a contribution of 72.3%

Photonic quasicrystals for general purpose nonlinear optical frequency conversion

We present a general method for the design of 2-dimensional nonlinear photonic quasicrystals that can be utilized for the simultaneous phase-matching of arbitrary optical frequency-conversion processes. The proposed scheme--based on the generalized dual-grid method that is used for constructing tiling models of quasicrystals--gives complete design flexibility, removing any constraints imposed by previous approaches. As an example we demonstrate the design of a color fan--a nonlinear photonic quasicrystal whose input is a single wave at frequency $\omega$ and whose output consists of the second, third, and fourth harmonics of $\omega$, each in a different spatial direction

Observable Bulk Signatures of Non-Abelian Quantum Hall States

We show that non-abelian quantum Hall states can be identified by experimental measurements of the temperature-dependence of either the electrochemical potential or the orbital magnetization. The predicted signals of non-abelian statistics are within experimental resolution, and can be clearly distinguished from other contributions under realistic circumstances. The proposed measurement technique also has the potential to resolve spin-ordering transitions in low density electronic systems in the Wigner crystal and strongly-interacting Luttinger liquid regimes.Comment: Minor change

Analisis Faktor Yang Memengaruhi Ketimpangan Pendidikan

: Analysis of Factors Affecting Educational Inequality. This article presents the results of research on educational inequality in the province of East Java. This descriptive correlational study was based on the panel data obtained from the Directorate General of Budget and Fiscal Balance and the Statistics of Indonesia in the period of 2008-2012. The data were analyzed using an application program referred to as Eviews 6, with the Gini index as a measure of the degree of inequality. The analysis re­veals the existence of inequality of education in the province of East Java. In addition, there is a rela­tionship between the variables of government expenditure on education, gender gap, and the household expenditure on education and the variable of educational inequality

Coulomb drag at \nu = 1/2: Composite fermion pairing fluctuations

We consider the Coulomb drag between two two-dimensional electron layers at filling factor \nu = 1/2 each, using a strong coupling approach within the composite fermion picture. Due to an attractive interlayer interaction, composite fermions are expected to form a paired state below a critical temperature T_c. We find that above T_c pairing fluctuations make the longitudinal transresistivity \rho_D increase with decreasing temperature. The pairing mechanism we study is very sensitive to density variations in the two layers, and to an applied current. We discuss possible relation to an experiment by Lilly et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 1714 (1998)].Comment: REVTeX, 4 pages, 1 figur
