Festival Peh Cun Menelusuri Tradisi Etnis Cina di Kota Tangerang
Penelitian ini mencoba menelusuri sejarah lahirnya sebuah tradisi Peh Cun yang biasa dilakukan oleh etnis Cina di Kota Tangerang. Peh Cun adalah salah satu perayaan hari besar etnis warga keturunan Cina yang jatuh pada hari kelima bulan kelima (go gwee cee go) di tahun Imlek. Tradisi Peh Cun ini merujuk pada legenda tentang seorang pembesar pada masa Dinasti Couw (340-278 SM), yang juga seorang sastrawan dan budayawan besar, yaitu Khut Goan.Tradisi ini juga identik dengan Festival Perahu Naga di Kali Cisadane, Kota Tangerang. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis. Prosedur penelitian mengarah pada penggambaran situasi secara sistematik, faktual, dan akurat mengenai sejumlah gejala, seperti fenomena upacara tradisional Peh Cun yang hingga kini masih dilaksanakan oleh komunitas Cina di lokasi penelitian
Stereoscopic camera and viewing systems with undistorted depth presentation and reduced or eliminated erroneous acceleration and deceleration perceptions, or with perceptions produced or enhanced for special effects
Methods for providing stereoscopic image presentation and stereoscopic configurations using stereoscopic viewing systems having converged or parallel cameras may be set up to reduce or eliminate erroneously perceived accelerations and decelerations by proper selection of parameters, such as an image magnification factor, q, and intercamera distance, 2w. For converged cameras, q is selected to be equal to Ve - qwl = 0, where V is the camera distance, e is half the interocular distance of an observer, w is half the intercamera distance, and l is the actual distance from the first nodal point of each camera to the convergence point, and for parallel cameras, q is selected to be equal to e/w. While converged cameras cannot be set up to provide fully undistorted three-dimensional views, they can be set up to provide a linear relationship between real and apparent depth and thus minimize erroneously perceived accelerations and decelerations for three sagittal planes, x = -w, x = 0, and x = +w which are indicated to the observer. Parallel cameras can be set up to provide fully undistorted three-dimensional views by controlling the location of the observer and by magnification and shifting of left and right images. In addition, the teachings of this disclosure can be used to provide methods of stereoscopic image presentation and stereoscopic camera configurations to produce a nonlinear relation between perceived and real depth, and erroneously produce or enhance perceived accelerations and decelerations in order to provide special effects for entertainment, training, or educational purposes

Pecinan as an Inspiration the Contribution of Chinese Indonesian Architecture to an Urban Environment
Since the abrogation of Presidential Instruction Number 14/1967 which banned Chinese customs celebrations and religion in public, there has been a revival in Chinese festivals, language, art, media, culture and not in the least in the field of architecture and urban planning. With increasing interest in heritage and the support of the Indonesian government for heritage cities programmes, several promising initiatives involving Chinese architecture have been launched in cities both large and small. A brief glance of the history of Chinese Indonesian architecture is given, as well as some recent initiatives in selected cities plus a discussion of the importance of public space in accommodating Chinese festivals. Study of old maps and photographs prompts reflections on the characteristics and development of Pecinan during the colonial era and of their later history. The analysis in this article and examples of recent developments in the cities discussed can be used as an inspiration in the revitalization of Pecinan, thereby contributing in an attractive and livable urban environment

Right for the Right Reasons: Training Differentiable Models by Constraining their Explanations
Neural networks are among the most accurate supervised learning methods in
use today, but their opacity makes them difficult to trust in critical
applications, especially when conditions in training differ from those in test.
Recent work on explanations for black-box models has produced tools (e.g. LIME)
to show the implicit rules behind predictions, which can help us identify when
models are right for the wrong reasons. However, these methods do not scale to
explaining entire datasets and cannot correct the problems they reveal. We
introduce a method for efficiently explaining and regularizing differentiable
models by examining and selectively penalizing their input gradients, which
provide a normal to the decision boundary. We apply these penalties both based
on expert annotation and in an unsupervised fashion that encourages diverse
models with qualitatively different decision boundaries for the same
classification problem. On multiple datasets, we show our approach generates
faithful explanations and models that generalize much better when conditions
differ between training and test
