Pemetaan Daerah Rawan Longsor Berbasis Gis di Kota Batu

Kota Batu terletak didaerah pegunungan dan ditetapkan oleh Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) Jawa Timur sebagai daerah perbukitan yang rawan longsor. Tanah Longsor tidak dapat dicegah secara pasti  namun  kita  dapat  melakuakan  upaya  untuk  meminimalisir  terjadinya  tanah  longsor  pada  daerah  rawan longsor. Tanah longsor di Kota batu dapat menggangu kelancaran mobilitas dan merugikan masyarakat karena akses mobilitas atau jalan disana terdiri dari lereng dan bukit yang terjal. Adanya pemetaan pada daerah rawan longsor akan  membantu untuk  meminimalisir terjadinya tanah longsor. Dari permasalahan diatas  saya sebagai penulis ingin mengambil judul Pemetaan Daerah Rawan Longsor Berbasis GIS Di Kota Batu untuk membantu masyarakat  secara  update  mengetahui  dan  mengawasi  daerah  yang  dijadikan  titik  rawan  longsor  agar  dapat meminimalisir  jatuhnya  korban  dan  kerugian  yang  banyak  ketika  terjadi  tanah  longsor  dengan  menggunakan metode SMART (Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique) untuk menentukan tingkat status daerah rawa

Is Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics compatible with Duality

Supersymmetry applied to quantum mechanics has given new insights in various topics of theoretical physics like analytically solvable potentials, WKB approximation or KdV solitons. Duality plays a central role in many supersymmetric theories such as Yang-Mills theories or strings models. We investigate the possible existence of some duality within supersymmetric quantum mechanics.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure

ABSTRAKPerkembangan zaman dan teknologi semakin membuat dunia pendidikan menghadapi persoalan krisis nilai moral dan karakter yang semakin memprihatinkan. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan adanya variasi model pembelajaran dalam pendidikan kewarganegaraan yang berfokus kepada pembinaan nilai moral atau afektif peserta didik sebagai warga negara muda. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penerapan model pembelajaran VCT pada pembelajaran PPKn dan implikasinya terhadap teori belajar humanistik dalam membentuk nilai moral peserta didik di SMP Negeri 70 Bandung. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan  model pembelajaran VCT dan implikasinya terhadap teori humanistik dalam membentuk nilai moral kejujuran dan tanggung jawab dilakukan dengan tahap: (1) tahap persiapan dengan penyusunan rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran, (2) tahap penayangan, pengamatan, dan analisis isi video, (3) presentasi hasil pengamatan dan analisis video, (4) tahap klarifikasi nilai, (5) tahap verifikasi dan kesimpulan, (6) tahap rencana implementasi nilai-nilai kehidupan. ABSTRACTThe development of the times and technology has increasingly made the world face the problem of a crisis of moral values and character that is increasingly apprehensive. Therefore, it is necessary to have a variety of learning models in civics education that focus on fostering the moral or affective values of students as young citizens. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the VCT learning model to civics learning and its implications for humanistic learning theory in shaping the moral values of students at SMP Negeri 70 Bandung. This is  qualitative research with a descriptive method. The results of the study show that the application of the VCT learning model and its implications for humanistic theory in forming the moral values of honesty and responsibility is carried out in the following stages: (1) the preparation stage by preparing a lesson plan; (2) the stage of showing, observing, and analyzing video content; (3) the presentation of observation and analysis results; (4) the value clarification stage; (5) the verification and conclusion stage; and (6) the life values implementation plan stage

Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder and Down Syndrome Is there a link?

An extremely premature male neonate presented with an unusual multisystem dysfunction within the first 24 to 48 hours of life. The unfolding of clinical events and investigations revealed a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD). TMD was the main indication for karyotyping of this premature infant without clinical symptoms of Down syndrome. The awareness of TMD in a newborn warrants karyotype analysis to look for trisomy 21 and a close surveillance because of its potential progression to true leukaemia.

Adoption Of Social Networks In Business: Study Of Users And Potential Users In Oman

Web 2.0 technologies have become effective tools in recent years, being used by people everywhere for everything. One of the most effective types of Web 2.0 technology is online social networks. Social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, are being used in communication and for building social capital between people. However, they have become important tools in the business world, and business people have realized that social networks are applicable tools in their daily business tasks. There is a belief that social networking and social media are going to transform people’s live styles, change their cultures, revolutionize communication, and reform the existing business models. From this standpoint, this research investigates and attempts to understand the adoption of social networks in business. This research raises three main questions: 1) What is the impact of utilizing social networks in business?, 2) How does business increase opportunities by adopting social networks?, and 3) What are the obstacles that discourage certain organizations from utilizing social networks in their business? The main theoretical objectives of this research are to investigate and explore the opportunities and reasons behind adopting social networks in business, to investigate the impacts of social networks on business and what the consequences are for individual businesses, and to discover the reasons which are preventing certain businesses from adopting social networks. In order to achieve the research’s objectives about 130 questionnaires were distributed to different private organizations in Oman. Some of the initial findings of this exploratory study are that the majority of organizations that participated fall into the ‘services’ category; 57% of the respondents have face-to-face meetings as well as online/email to communicate with their customers, and 81% of these organizations allow their employees to access/browse the Internet during working hours; 31% of the organizations said that the main gain from utilizing social networking is to encourage and empower employees to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links; 62% of the organizations agreed that one of the obstacles preventing them from adopting social networking is the lack of quantifiable business benefits. This study is expected to help businesses that are trying to gain competitive advantage by deploying these new technologies and ideas for the enhancement of their operations

Attitude and knowledge towards concussion among doctors and rugby players in Malaysia

Malaysia is faced with the inadequacy of research studies assessing the attitudes and knowledge towards concussions among doctors and rugby player. This lack of knowledge and unsafe attitudes can lead to short and long term sequelae if a CC is not managed correctly. The poor understanding and misconception regarding concussions could result in a lack of proper reporting and lead to more players and doctors ignoring the injury. This is a cross sectional study among doctors and rugby players in Malaysia to assess knowledge and attitude towards . Self-administered questionnaire, RoCKAS-ST is adopted from previous study. Questionnaire was given to 285 rugby players and 217 doctors with return rate of 63% and 23% respectively. Descriptive analysis and univariate ANOVA was used to analyse the statistical response. Both doctors and rugby players recorded good attitude index compared to other previous study however the knowledge index of rugby players in Malaysia is subpar. There is significant differences in knowledge index among doctors and rugby players in Malaysia More training and education programme regarding should be done in Malaysia to increase the level of knowledge and attitude in both group of rugby players and doctors especially those in emergency medicine, family medicine, sports medicine, neurosurgery, surgery and orthopaedics

Free-Layer-Thickness-dependence of the Spin Galvanic Effect with Spin Rotation Symmetry

Spin-orbit coupling near the surface of a ferromagnetic metal gives rises to spin-to-charge conversion with symmetry different from the conventional inverse spin Hall effect. We have previously observed this spin galvanic effect with spin rotation symmetry (SGE-SR) in a spin valve under a temperature gradient. Here we show there are two processes that contribute to the SGE-SR, one of which is sensitive to the free magnetic layer thickness, while the other only depends on the interface of the free layer. Based on the free-layer-thickness-dependent study, we extrapolate the spin diffusion length of Py to be 3.9+/-0.2 nm. We also propose that the SGE-SR can help to quantitatively study the spin Seebeck effect in metallic magnetic films.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, This version is to replace the original version, which has a typo in Eq.
