Preliminary Studies on the fluctuation of the biomass of sizefractionated zooplankton in sea grass bed of Pulau Tinggi, Malaysia

Zooplanktons biomass was extensively studied in the sea grass bed of Pulau Tinggi, Malaysia for six months. In 2015, sampling months were April, June, October, whereas in 2016, April, June, August were the sampling months. A cone shaped plankton net was used with 0.30 m mouth, 1.00 m length and 100 μm mesh size. The fractionation of zooplankton size was carried out in to >2000 μm (large), 501-2000 μm (medium) and <500 μm (small). Zooplankton was classified as copepods, larvaceans, chaetognaths, cnidarians, ctenophores, decapods and polychaetes. Copepods were categorized as Calanoida, Poecilostomatoida, Cyclopoida and Harpacticoida but identified as a total of 54 species, 26 genera and 19 families. We conclude that among the biomass of 3 size fractions; medium (36%) was dominant followed by large and small (32% each) throughout the study period

LEGALISASI HUKUM WARIS DI INDONESIA : SUATU PENDEKATAN HISTORIS

A comprehensive understanding of how the history of the application of Islamic law, especially inheritance law in Indonesia so that it can occur and enter the national legal system, then examines the socio-economic history of Islamic law in Indonesia is the first step to answer it, especially in the historical aspects of Islamic law legislation. This historical study must also be traced from the earliest period, namely since the arrival of Islam to the archipelago, because the existence and position of Islamic law today cannot be separated from the history of Islam in the archipelago itself. With this historical approach, a complete picture will be seen of how the process of wrestling Islamic law legislation, especially inheritance, as well as the aspects and forms of legislation that occurs. This research was conducted through a descriptive analysis approach, therefore the contribution of concrete ideas about the history of the implementation of inheritance law in Indonesia by experts was foun

Visual Recognition of Bengali Sign Language using Local Binary Pattern Compared with ANN

This paper presents an overview of visual recognition of Bengali Sign Language. In this paper we learn and detect a sequence of sign words and recognize the sign language that are understandable to the deaf and hearing impaired people to help normal people understand the meaning of these words. The research discusses the characteristics of the human sign languages, the requirements and difficulties behind visual sign recognition, how to deal with others persons and the different techniques used in the sign language recognition. The paper consists of two major parts, namely the learning part and the detection part. The system takes the sign images as its input. First sign images are learnt by the proposed system. When a sign image is given for recognition, the detection part identifies the image with the help of previously learned images. For learning and detection we have used local binary pattern compared with back propagation algorithm of Artificial Neural Network. We believe that this research will be of much help to express their thoughts and feelings between the deaf people and the normal people

SIR-Based Power Control Algorithms in CDMA Networks

This paper incorporates a comprehensive study about the distributed power control algorithm in cellular communication systems The algorithm requires only interference power estimations and or signal-to-interference ratio SIR estimations form the base station and converge even in cases where limits on available power render the target SIR unattainable Power control plays an important role to high demand for wireless communication services shows the need for technology to further increase the capacity of cellular communication systems The capacity of the system is maximized if the transmitter s power control is controlled so that its signal arrives at base station with minimum required signal-to-interference ratio Nash equilibrium power provides substantial power savings as compared to the power balancing algorithm and Foschini and Miljanic Algorithm while reducing achieved SIR only slightly Simulations show that the benefit of the Nash equilibrium power control over the power balancing solution increases as receiver noise power or number of users in the cell increase

OOD/OOP experience in the Science Operations Center part of the ground system for X ray Timing Explorer mission

The Science Operations Center (SOC) for the X-ray Timing Explorer (XTE) mission is an important component of the XTE ground system. Its mandate includes: (1) command and telemetry for the three XTE instruments, using CCSDS standards; (2) monitoring of the real-time science operations, reconfiguration of the experiment and the instruments, and real-time commanding to address the targets of opportunity (TOO) and alternate observations; and (3) analysis, processing, and archival of the XTE telemetry, and the timely delivery of the data products to the principal investigator (PI) teams and the guest observers (GO). The SOC has two major components: the science operations facility (SOF) that addresses the first two objectives stated above and the guest observer facility (GOF) that addresses the third. The SOF has subscribed to the object oriented design and implementation; while the GOF uses the traditional approach in order to take advantage of the existing software developed in support of previous missions. This paper details the SOF development using the object oriented design (OOD), and its implementation using the object oriented programming (OOP) in C++ under Unix environment on client-server architecture using Sun workstations. It also illustrates how the object oriented (OO) and the traditional approaches coexist in SOF and GOF, the lessons learned, and how the OOD facilitated the distributed software development collaboratively by four different teams. Details are presented for the SOF system, its major subsystems, its interfaces with the rest of the XTE ground data system, and its design and implementation approaches

Studi Kelayakan Kompetensi Profesional Guru Di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurul Hikmah Sukajati Haurgeulis Tahun 2019

Teacher competence is very important, so a teacher must have the ability to professionally improve the implementation of his duties in the field of education. It is useful for educating the nation's children. This feasibility study aims to formulate policies related to the quality of education improvement that is focused on the condition of proper madrasah ibtidaiyah (MI) teachers based on the professional competencies possessed by each teacher. This study uses a qualitative method with a cross sectional technique to analyze the data of each MI teacher based on academic qualifications according to the field of study he teaches. The findings of this study indicate that there are still many MI teachers who do not have undergraduate academic qualifications as stipulated in Law No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers. The ratio between the number of Elementary Schools (SD) and MI (both private and public) in Haurgeulis District is 5:1; or the number of SD is 41 consisting of 31 public elementary schools and 10 private elementary schools, while the number of MI is only 8, all of which are private. It can be argued that public interest and the government's response to MI are still relatively low, partly because there are still relatively few competent teachers. Keywords: Feasibility Study; Professional Competence; Madrasah Ibtidaiyah AbstrakKompetensi guru sangat penting, sehingga seorang guru harus memiliki kemampuan dalam peningkatan profesional pelaksanaan tugasnya di bidang pendidikan. Hal itu berguna untuk mencerdaskan anak bangsa. Studi kelayakan  ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan kebijakan yang terkait dengan mutu peningkatan pendidikan yang difokuskan pada kondisi guru madrasah ibtidaiyah (MI) yang layak berdasarkan kompetensi profesional yang dimiliki oleh setiap guru. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik cross sectional (potong lintang) untuk menganalisis data setiap guru MI berdasarkan kualifikasi akademik sesuai dengan bidang studi yang diajarkannya. Hasil temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak guru MI yang belum berkualifikasi akademik sarjana sebagaimana ditetapkan dalam  Undang-Undang No.14 tahun 2005 tentang Guru dan Dosen. Nisbah antara jumlah Sekolah Dasar (SD)  dengan MI (baik swasta maupun negeri) di Kecamatan Haurgeulis yaitu 5:1; atau jumlah SD adalah 41 terdiri atas 31 SD negeri dan 10 SD swasta, sedangkan jumlah MI baru 8, semuanya berstastus swasta. Dapat dikemukakan bahwa minat masyarakat dan respon pemerintah terhadap MI masih relatif rendah disebabkan antara lain karena guru yang berkompeten masih relatif  kurang.Kata Kunci: Studi Kelayakan; Kompetensi Profesional; Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
