Narasi Pendidikan Islam di Aceh: Biografi Intelektual M. Arifin Amin

Perkembangan pendidikan Islam di Aceh Timur selalu merujuk pada salah seorang tokoh pendidikan Islam yang telah banyak mendedikasikan dirinya bagi pendidikan Islam. Ironisnya, nama ini tidak pernah direkam dalam lintasan sejarah pendidikan (Islam) Aceh. Tulisan ini menginvestigasi tidak hanya profil dan karya tulis M. Arifin Amin, tetapi juga kontribusi Arifin terhadap perkembangan pendidikan Islam serta faktor yang sangat dimungkinkan lahirnya inisiasi untuk mendirikan lembaga-lembaga pendidikan Islam di Aceh Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan perspektif sosiologi historis Max Weber dengan menggunakan causal analysis untuk menginterpretasikan berbagai faktor yang melahirkan tindakan Arifin terhadap pendidikan Islam di Aceh Timur. Penelitian ini menggali informasi dari informan yang dilakukan melalui indepth interview dan mengumpulkan karya intelektual serta dokumen lembaga-lembaga pendidikan Islam di mana Arifin merupakan tokoh sentral. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Arifin tidak hanya terlibat aktif dalam organisasi sosial dan pendidikan, tetapi juga aktif dalam bidang politik dan sejarah

Dual band rectangular dielectric resonator antenna for WLAN application

A compact dual band ring shape rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RRDRA) to operate at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHZ WLAN application is proposed. In this design the dielectric resonator is fed by modified 50Ω trapezoidal micro strip line situated on top of the FR4 substrate. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidth achieved at 2.4 GHZ is 12.42% (2.3149-2.6132) and 12.9% (2.21-2.52) respectively; whilst for 5 GHZ at 13% (5.1795-5.8914) and 13.2% (5.08-5.81) for S11<-10 dB. And the gain of the proposed antenna is 4.9dBi and 5.9 dBi at 2.4 GHz 5GHZ respectively. Results are simulated using Ansoft High frequency structural simulator (HFSS) for the study of impedance bandwidth, return loss, radiation pattern and antenna gain. Furthermore the antenna has been fabricated and tested. The measured characteristics of the proposed antenna are in good agreement with the simulated results

Penerapan Media Simulasi Virtual untuk Meningkatkan Penguasaan Konsep Listrik Dinamis melalui Pembelajaran Kontekstual di Sman 4 Pekanbaru

The aims this study to determine the incresing dynamic electric concepts with the application of virtual simulation media through contextual learning in class X SMAN 4 Pekanbaru. The subjects were students of class X1 and X2 class. X1 class as a class experiment with the number of students by 37 votes, while class X2 as the control class with the number of students as many as 37 people. Data collection instrument in this research is test the mastery of concept of dynamic electric that consists of 10 items essay. Analysis of the data in this research is descriptive analysis to see the picture of increasing mastery of the concept of dynamic electricity students by using the value of the gain is normalized and inferential analysis to know there is no difference between the classes who use the virtual simulation media through contextual learning with classes that do not use the application virtual simulation media of the dynamic electric concept mastery. From the analysis of the data shows: the value of the gain is normalized experimental class was 0.76 with a high category, while the value of the normalized gain control group was 0.71 with a high category and there value significance 0,765>0,05 and (3,482>2,028) so accepted, meaning there is a difference between a class that uses the application of virtual simulation media through contextual learning with classes that do not use the media application of virtual simulation of the dynamic electric concept mastery. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of virtual simulation media through contextual learning can be used for learning in class X1 SMAN 4 Pekanbaru

Dynamics of semi-flexible polymer solutions in the highly entangled regime

We present experimental evidence that the effective medium approximation (EMA), developed by D.C. Morse [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 63}, 031502, (2001)], provides the correct scaling law of the macroscopic plateau modulus $G^{0}\propto\rho^{4/3}L^{-1/3}_{p}$ (where $\rho$ is the contour length per unit volume and $L_{p}$ is the persistence length) of semi-flexible polymer solutions, in the highly entangled concentration regime. Competing theories, including a self-consistent binary collision approximation (BCA), have instead predicted $G^{0}\propto\rho^{7/5}L^{-1/5}_{p}$. We have tested both the EMA and BCA scaling predictions using actin filament (F-actin) solutions which permit experimental control of $L_p$ independently of other parameters. A combination of passive video particle tracking microrheology and dynamic light scattering yields independent measurements of the elastic modulus $G$ and $L_{p}$ respectively. Thus we can distinguish between the two proposed laws, in contrast to previous experimental studies, which focus on the (less discriminating) concentration functionality of $G$.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, Phys.
