Kedua, implementasi vokal Rita Tila pada Pop Sunda, yang menggunakan ornamentasi tembang, pesindenan dan kawih yang membuat identitas kultur Sunda semakin nampak.Adapun pada lagu versi Pop Sunda, teknik yang digunakan Rita Tila tidak terlalu kompleks. Ketiga, ciri khas Rita Tila dalam pembawaan vokal Pop Sunda, yang tidak menghilangkan unsur-unsur karawitan sekar dalam membawakan lagu Pop Sunda, halini terlihat dari teknik dan ornamentasi yang bersumber dari tradisi karawitan Sunda. .... This research is grounded by the presence of soft power era in the 21st century which is all its beauty and unique vocalization methods, as well as the technique of singing is not simple, which makesSundanese music has the potential to become popular and recognized by the world.. This study aims to see the vocal style of Rita Tila in singingSundanese pop songs. This research uses qualitative approach with descriptive analysis method. Technique of collecting data is done by interview, observation, and documentation study. The results of this study describes: First, vocal style of Rita Tila in making Pop Sunda which can be seen from song structure, scale, song form, vocal technique, and musical instrument. All of them Rita Tila mek a different style with other vocalist. Second, the implementation of Rita Tila’s vocal on Pop Sunda, which uses ornamentation oftembang, pesindenan and kawih. As for the song version of Pop Sunda, the technique used by Rita Tila is not too complex..Third, the characteristic of Rita Tilawhen singing PopSunda, which does not eliminate the elements of sekarkarawitanwhensinging the songs of Pop Sunda, it is seen from the techniques and ornamentation derived from the tradition of karawitanSunda

Evaluation of the added mass for a spheroid-type unmanned underwater vehicle by vertical planar motion mechanism test

ABSTRACTThis paper shows added mass and inertia can be acquired from the pure heaving motion and pure pitching motion respectively. A Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) test for the spheroid-type Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) was compared with a theoretical calculation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in this paper. The VPMM test has been carried out at a towing tank with specially manufactured equipment. The linear equations of motion on the vertical plane were considered for theoretical calculation, and CFD results were obtained by commercial CFD package. The VPMM test results show good agreement with theoretical calculations and the CFD results, so that the applicability of the VPMM equipment for an underwater vehicle can be verified with a sufficient accuracy

DeepHealthNet: Adolescent Obesity Prediction System Based on a Deep Learning Framework

Childhood and adolescent obesity rates are a global concern because obesity is associated with chronic diseases and long-term health risks. Artificial intelligence technology has emerged as a promising solution to accurately predict obesity rates and provide personalized feedback to adolescents. This study emphasizes the importance of early identification and prevention of obesity-related health issues. Factors such as height, weight, waist circumference, calorie intake, physical activity levels, and other relevant health information need to be considered for developing robust algorithms for obesity rate prediction and delivering personalized feedback. Hence, by collecting health datasets from 321 adolescents, we proposed an adolescent obesity prediction system that provides personalized predictions and assists individuals in making informed health decisions. Our proposed deep learning framework, DeepHealthNet, effectively trains the model using data augmentation techniques, even when daily health data are limited, resulting in improved prediction accuracy (acc: 0.8842). Additionally, the study revealed variations in the prediction of the obesity rate between boys (acc: 0.9320) and girls (acc: 0.9163), allowing the identification of disparities and the determination of the optimal time to provide feedback. The proposed system shows significant potential in effectively addressing childhood and adolescent obesity

Time-delayed Spatial Patterns in a Two-dimensional Array of Coupled Oscillators

We investigated the effect of time delays on phase configurations in a set of two-dimensional coupled phase oscillators. Each oscillator is allowed to interact with its neighbors located within a finite radius, which serves as a control parameter in this study. It is found that distance-dependent time-delays induce various patterns including traveling rolls, square-like and rhombus-like patterns, spirals, and targets. We analyzed the stability boundaries of the emerging patterns and briefly pointed out the possible empirical implications of such time-delayed patterns.Comment: 5 Figure

Inhibitory Effect of Inflexinol on Nitric Oxide Generation and iNOS Expression via Inhibition of NF-κB Activation

Inflexinol, an ent-kaurane diterpenoid, was isolated from the leaves of Isodon excisus. Many diterpenoids isolated from the genus Isodon (Labiatae) have antitumor and antiinflammatory activities. We investigated the antiinflammatory effect of inflexinol in RAW 264.7 cells and astrocytes. As a result, we found that inflexinol (1, 5, 10 μM) suppressed the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) as well as the production of nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and astrocytes. Consistent with the inhibitory effect on iNOS and COX-2 expression, inflexinol also inhibited transcriptional and DNA binding activity of NF-κB via inhibition of IκB degradation as well as p50 and p65 translocation into nucleus. These results suggest that inflexinol inhibits iNOS and COX-2 expression through inhibition of NF-κB activation, thereby inhibits generation of inflammatory mediators in RAW 264.7 cells and astrocytes, and may be useful for treatment of inflammatory diseases
