Simulation of speed control brushless DC motor using gaussian fuzzy logic controller

This paper presents a control scheme of a Fuzzy Logic for the brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives. The BLDC motor has some advantages compare to others type of motors. However, the nonlinearity of this motor drive characteristics cause it is difficult to handle using conventional proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller. In order to overcome this main problem, Fuzzy Logic controller with a Gaussian membership function is developed. The mathematical model of BLDC motor is derived. The controller is designed to tracks variations of speed references and stabilizes the output speed during load variations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by develop simulation model in Matlab Simulink software. The simulation results show that the proposed Fuzzy Logic controller (FLC) produce significant improvement control performance compare to the PID controller for both condition controlling speed reference variations and load disturbance variations

COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY HIGHER EDUCATIONAL STUDENTS IN ORAL PRESENTATION OF DAYAK NGAJU LANGUAGE

In an oral presentation of a second language, higher education students commonly face some problems in communication. To overcome these problems, communication strategies are necessary to be employed. In the speaking class of the Dayak Ngaju language course, especially in oral presentation in History of Islamic Civilization Study Program at IAIN Palangka Raya, the students employed communication strategies to overcome the problems in communication. However, most of the students tended to employ certain types of communication strategies in the oral presentation of the Dayak Ngaju language. Furthermore, there were no research reports which had been published regarding the types of communication strategies employed by the students of Dayak Ngaju language as a second language. Thus this study was intended to describe the types of communication strategies employed by the fifth-semester students of History of Islamic Civilization Study Program at IAIN Palangka Raya in oral presentation of Dayak Ngaju language. A descriptive qualitative design was employed in this study. Observation sheets, video recordings, field-notes, and interview guides are the instruments employed in this study. The results of this study showed that the students employed four of five types of communication strategies based on Celce-Murcia’s taxonomy, namely achievement or compensatory strategies, stalling or time-gaining strategies, self-monitoring strategies, and interactional strategies. The most frequent type employed was an achievement or compensatory strategies. Moreover, the most frequent subtype was code-switching.

Derivational Suffixes in Reading Texts of Higher Educational English Textbook

This research aims to analyze the types of derivational suffixes used in reading texts of the higher educational English textbook. This research employed qualitative research, specifically content analysis, as the research design. The data involved derivational suffixes found in 15 reading texts of the higher educational English textbook English for Islamic Studies, used by the al-Qur’an and Tafsir Sciences study program students at IAIN Palangka Raya. The data collected were analyzed systematically. This research indicated four types of derivational suffixes in the reading texts of the higher educational English textbook: nominal, adjectival, adverbial, and verbal. Nominal suffixes were the most frequently used derivational suffixes in the reading texts of the higher educational English textbook. The research findings implied that the types of derivational suffixes frequently occurring in higher educational English textbook reading texts should be emphasized more in teaching reading comprehension

Selain itu, keindahan Kota juga akan berkurang jika masyarakat membuang sampah tidak pada tempatnya. Karena itu diperlukan komunikasi Persuasif oleh Dinas Lingkungan Hidup untuk menciptakan masyarakat yang sadar akan kebersihan dan keindahan lingkungan

Televisi sebagai Media Dakwah Islam dalam Kehidupan Masyarakat Indonesia

Da'wah which initially only uses traditional media, then develops by using the touches of modern technology including television. Television is one of the modern media that can be used to preach today. Television has one goal, which is to attract people's attention to the content of the message conveyed. As a medium of communication, television can play its role as an interesting channel to convey messages of kindness to the public. Including religious messages that are commonly called da'wah. The advantages of propaganda through television media do not only depend on the advantages possessed by this media. Likewise for a Preacher who wants to take advantage of television media, he is required to fully understand how to use this media, including determining the methods and techniques of preaching. Because without the proper methods and techniques of da'wah in using television media, it will only waste energy and costs, and will also increase the distance of Da'wah activities with the community. This research uses content analysis
