Design Of Neural Network Circuit Inside High Speed Camera Using Analog CMOS 0.35 ¼m Technology

Analog VLSI on-chip learning Neural Networks represent a mature technology for a large number of applications involving industrial as well as consumer appliances. This is particularly the case when low power consumption, small size and/or very high speed are required. This approach exploits the computational features of Neural Networks, the implementation efficiency of analog VLSI circuits and the adaptation capabilities of the on-chip learning feedback schema. High-speed video cameras are powerful tools for investigating for instance the biomechanics analysis or the movements of mechanical parts in manufacturing processes. In the past years, the use of CMOS sensors instead of CCDs has enabled the development of high-speed video cameras offering digital outputs , readout flexibility, and lower manufacturing costs. In this paper, we propose a high-speed smart camera based on a CMOS sensor with embedded Analog Neural Network

BILINGUALISM AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THE MOTHER TONGUE IN MULTILINGUAL SINGAPORE

Two issues have been identified that act against the development of a strong bilingual and biliteracy proficiency among pupils in Singapore schools: 1. English is perceived as having a much higher status than the Mother Tongue (MT) and the language in which success is primarily measured given its primacy as the language of instruction in all subjects except the MT. Consequently, children’s use of their MT has been observed to decline in favour of English; 2. English and the MT are taught in effect as a form of double monolingualism, in watertight compartments, with no opportunity for bilingual learning or reflection in class on the relationship between the two languages. This artificially blocks pupils’ access to the other language and prevents the development of a more robust bilingual. In this presentation, I will describe the ways in which the MT is maintained in Singapore, and in particular focus on the research that has recently been completed on the use of dual language books to rejuvenate the interest and ability to read in Malay in bilingual Malay children

PENERAPAN PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA REALISTIK (PMR) SMP DI MAKASSAR

Keabstrakan objek matematika dan pendekatan pembelajaran yang kurang tepat, menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab sulitnya belajar matematika bagi para siswa. Mereka merasa apa yang dipelajarinya kurang bermanfaat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sehingga mereka merasa “dipaksa” untuk mempelajari sesuatu yang berada di luar jangkauan daya pikirnya. Akibatnya, prestasi belajar matematika di Indonesia masih relatif rendah dan tidak mengalami peningkatan yang berarti. Pembelajaran matematika khususnya di jenjang pendidikan dasar sebaiknya dikaitkan dengan pengalaman kehidupan nyata siswa. Salah satu pendekatan pembelajaran matematika yang mengaitkan pengalaman kehidupan nyata siswa dengan pembelajaran matematika adalah Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik (PMR). Melalui penerapan Pendekatan PMR di SMP Negeri 34 Makassar diperoleh bahwa: (1) Ketuntasan belajar secara klasikal: tuntas, yaitu sebanyak 85,37% siswa memperoleh skor ≥ 65% dari skor total hasil tes;  (2) Kemampuan guru dalam mengelola pembelajaran: efektif; (3) Aktivitas Siswa: Efektif; dan (4) Respon siswa: positif. Dengan demikian penerapan pendekatan pembelajaran matematika realistik SMP di Makassar efektif. Berdasarkan analisis inferensial diperoleh bahwa hasil belajar siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran matematika realistik lebih baik dibandingkan dengan hasil belajar siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran matematika konvensional

FASE-FASE PERKEMBANGAN MANUSIA DALAM ISLAM DAN RELEVANSINYA TERHADAP PEMIKIRAN MUHAMMAD IZZUDDIN TAUFIQ

This research describes the phases of human growth and development according to Islam and the views of Muhammad Izzuddin in his work on the Qur'an and Embryology. To obtain superior investment in children, it is necessary to pay attention to the education and development of children from the womb. Because the period in the womb is the basis for further development. This type of research is a literature review which takes the stages of reading, reviewing and recording various literature or reading materials that are appropriate to the subject matter, then filtered and set forth in a theoretical framework. The results of this study indicate that Islam explains human life has begun before birth. Humans have a spirit that has lived before the time of his birth in the world. On a day called mistaq day, all human souls gather to give testimony acknowledging the oneness and divinity of Allah. The Qur'an posits that humans were basically created from soil, then in the next creation process from the mixing of male sperm and female ovum originating from the essence of the soil. Judging from the stages of its development, it consists of several phases, namely: 1) Soil extract stage, 2) Semen stage, 3) Germ stage (meeting of male sperm and female ovum), 4) Alaqah stage, 5) Mudgha stage, 6) Stage izhama, 7) Lahman stage, 8) Khalqan akhar stage. Broadly divided into four global periods, namely, the nutfah period of forty days, the alaqah period of approximately forty days, the mudghah period also lasts approximately forty days, and the period of the fetus or the development of the mudghah which is given a spirit

Classroom Management Talk in Teaching English at SMPN 2 Watampone

This paper depicts the transactional expressions used by the teacher in teaching English, the students’ understanding of those transactional expression used, and the transactional expressions which gave benefit to the students. There were twenty two students and one English teacher involved as the subjects. The subjects were the students of the seventh grade of A of SMPN 2 Watampone and an English teacher who taught English in that class. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method by using a discourse analysis. The triangulation data were applied in this research. The researcher used observation sheet that entailed video recording to collect the data about the transactional expressions used by the teacher. To get deeper data about the transactional expressions used by the teacher, the researcher also employed interview instrument entailing audio recording. An open ended questionnaire was also distributed to the students to know about their understanding of the transactional expressions used by the teacher and the transactional expressions which gave benefit to them. The findings of this research revealed the real transactional expressions (management talk) used by the teacher in teaching English, the percentage of the students’ understanding of the transactional expressions used, and the beneficial transactional expressions for them.Key words: Classroom interaction, Management talk (transactional expressions), Students’ understanding, the beneficial transactional expressions, English Teacher, Students

Examining the technical efficiency of small industries: A case study of the crackers industry in South Sumatera, Indonesia

Small industries are life-sustaining for communities because of their political and strategic position in terms of creating job opportunities and increasing revenue. One small industrial sector that has the potential to be developed is the food industry. Small food industries are widely scattered in every area, including in the city of Palembang. A small industrial group of food that became one of the culinary icons in Palembang is the cracker industry. This type of industry is a culinary icon that has been famous for foreign countries. Nevertheless, the cracker industry is still experiencing obstacles in terms of capital and marketing. The cost of raw materials is relatively expensive to technically trigger the industry inefficiencies. Therefore, it is necessary to review the technical efficiency of this small industry.  The variables used in this study were capital, labor, and output. The data used is secondary data that is analyzed by using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approach. The results showed that the technical efficiency achievement of small industrial crackers in South Sumatera is still categorized as low. The use of labor input is more effective than capital use as a result of the utilization of technology and local resources. Therefore, the development of small industrial crackers through an efficiency approach cannot be separated from the application of technology, human resource management, marketing, and business climate

Trafficking of women in Entikong Sub-District Sanggau Regency, Indonesia

This study investigates and analyzes various phenomena related to transnational trafficking of women in Entikong Sub-District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan, from the recruitment of the departure abroad to various human rights violations experienced by Indonesian women. The qualitative analysis method is used in this study. In general, trafficking of women in the Indonesia-Malaysia border regions is a phenomenon that arises due to the lack of legal protection, both while the victims are still in Indonesia and after they arrive abroad. This phenomenon has a negative impact on ensuring legal protection for women and the impact on the emergence of human rights violations (torture, harassment, exploitation, intimidation, rape, confinement, and forced sexual intercourse.)
