Perancangan Sign System dan Infografis Desa Wisata Bejiharjo, Gunungkidul Yogyakarta

Wisata merupakan sebuah kegiatan yang bertujuan untuk meregangkan otot pikiran yang kaku setelah melakukan aktifitas pekerjaan baik pekerjaan kantor ataupun pekerjaan yang berkaitan dengan tugastugas. Saat ini berwisata merupakan sebuah kebuatuhan atau menjadi trand dikalangan anak muda Indonesia. Banyak tempat wisata berlomba-lomba menarik wisatawan agar datang menuju tempat wisata, berbagai macam cara digunakan untuk mempromosikan wisata baik memalui media sosial maupun media-media cetak lainnya. Banyaknya promosi yang dilakuakan megakibatkan sedikit melupakan aspek pendukung yang sangat dibutuhkan yaitu sebuah sign system yang berfungsi menunjukan arah menuju tempat wisata, tentulan terlihat begitu kurang apabila mengetahui suatu objek wisata akan tetapi tidak ada informasi tentang jalur menuju objek wiata tersebut. Perancangan sign system utamanya yaitu sebagai bentuk informasi yang fungsinya membuat wisatawan merasa nyaman saat ingin berwisata. Selain itu ada juga infografis yang memiliki tujuan hampir sama yaitu sebagai petunjuk petunjuk wisata ataupun petunjuk sebagai graphic instruction, perancangan ini bertujuan sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab pengelola untuk memberikan rasa aman kepada wisatawan yang berkunjung. Setelah tujuan utama tercapai maka barulah menambahkan nilai estetik dalam sebuah perancangan, nilai estetik yang berkaitan dengan sebuah identitas dan keindahan sebuah tempat wisata dapat membangun Susana baru saat berwisata. Keamanan, kenyamanan saat berwisata tidak hanya tanggung jawab pengelola wisata akan tetapi juga wistawan juga memiliki andil untuk menjaganya agar tetap terlihat indah dan terjaga

Studying media events in the European social surveys across research designs, countries, time, issues, and outcomes

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Palgrave via the DOI in this record.Scholars often study isolated media effects using one method at one time point in one country. We seek to generalise the research in this area by examining hundreds of press-worthy events across dozens of countries at various points in time with an array of techniques and outcome measures. In particular, we merge a database containing thousands of events with five waves of the European Social Survey to conduct analyses across countries and individuals as well as within countries and for specific respondents. The results suggest that there is an impressive degree of heterogeneity when it comes to how citizens react to political developments. Some events generate significant opinion changes when groups of individuals who are 'treated' are compared with 'control' cases. However, other events produce modest or even null findings with methods that employ different counterfactuals. Thus, findings of both strong and weak media effects that scholars have uncovered over the years could be a function of methodological choices as well as context-specific factors such as institutional arrangements, media systems, eras, or event characteristics. Data limitations also make some research designs possible while they preclude others. We conclude with advice for others who wish to study political events in this manner as well as discussion of media effects, broadly construed

Morphological and organic spectroscopic studies of a 44-million-year-old leaf beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in amber with endogenous remains of chitin

This study details the quality of preservation of amber deposits in the Eocene. Through Baltic amber crack-out studies using Synchrotron Micro-Computed Tomography and Scanning Electron Microscopy it was found that the cuticle of a specimen of leaf beetle (Crepidodera tertiotertiaria (Alticini: Galerucinae: Chrysomelidae)) is exceptionally well preserved. Spectroscopic analysis using Synchrotron Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy suggests presence of degraded α -chitin in multiple areas of the cuticle, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy supports the presence of organic preservation. This remarkable preservation is likely the result of several factors such as the favourable antimicrobial and physical shielding properties of Baltic amber as compared to other depositional media, coupled to rapid dehydration of the beetle early in its taphonomic process. We provide evidence that crack-out studies of amber inclusions, although inherently destructive of fossils, are an underutilised method for probing exceptional preservation in deep time

Manipulated vs. measured: Using an experimental benchmark to investigate the performance of self-reported media exposure

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.Media exposure is one of the most important concepts in the social sciences, and yet scholars have struggled with how to operationalize it for decades. Some researchers have focused on the effects of variously worded self-report measures. Others advocate the use of aggregate and/or behavioral data that does not rely on a person’s ability to accurately recall exposure. The present study introduces the prototype of an experimental design that can be used to improve measures of exposure. In particular, we show how an experimental benchmark can be employed to (1) compare actual (i.e., manipulated) and self-reported values of news exposure; (2) assess how closely the self-reported measures approximates the performance of “true” exposure in an empirical application, and (3) leverage the experimental benchmark to investigate whether a variation in question wording improves the accuracy of self-reported exposure measures

The puzzle of double referendums in the European Union

If voters are asked to vote twice on the same issue in a single year, why might they initially reject the proposal but then vote to approve it the second time? This has happened three times in EU referendums (Denmark on the Maastricht Treaty in 1992–93 and Ireland on the Nice Treaty in 2001–02 and the Lisbon Treaty in 2008–09). No work has yet compared all six of these referendum campaigns. I focus on the campaign strategies of the Yes and No sides and investigate whether campaigners act differently in the second campaigns. Based on fieldwork in Denmark and Ireland, 38 in-depth interviews with campaigners and public opinion data, I show that the Yes campaigners learned from their mistakes and changed their campaign strategies in the second rounds. Not only did they secure guarantees from the EU to neutralize the No side's arguments; they also used more emotional campaign arguments in the second campaigns

The Nature and Origins of Misperceptions: Understanding False and Unsupported Beliefs About Politics

PublishedThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Wiley via the DOI in this record.Political misperceptions can distort public debate and undermine people's ability to form meaningful opinions. Why do people often hold these false or unsupported beliefs, and why is it sometimes so difficult to convince them otherwise? We argue that political misperceptions are typically rooted in directionally motivated reasoning, which limits the effectiveness of corrective information about controversial issues and political figures. We discuss factors known to affect the prevalence of directionally motivated reasoning and assess strategies for accurately measuring misperceptions in surveys. Finally, we address the normative implications of misperceptions for democracy and suggest important topics for future research.This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (Grant Agreement No. 682758).

Advancing sustainability: Using smartphones to study environmental behavior in a field-experimental setup

Ecological sustainability is the defining challenge of our time. Here we suggest a methodological approach that could help to investigate how environmental behavior (transport behavior, energy consumption, food consumption, goods consumption, wasting) dilemmas can be overcome on an individual level in real life by using smartphones to collect daily behavioral data in a field-experimental setup. Previous related studies are reviewed and we discuss how the boundaries of what can be done with smartphones for data collection and experimental purposes can be pushed further to allow for complex behavioral studies. Results from a pilot study are presented to discuss the feasibility and potential of this approach. The pilot shows that studying social dilemma behavior via smartphones is feasible and has potential value as a behavioral intervention tool

Political parties, motivated reasoning, and public opinion formation

A key characteristic of democratic politics is competition between groups, first of all political parties. Yet, the unavoidably partisan nature of political conflict has had too little influence on scholarship on political psychology. Despite more than 50 years of research on political parties and citizens, we continue to lack a systematic understanding of when and how political parties influence public opinion. We suggest that alternative approaches to political parties and public opinion can be best reconciled and examined through a richer theoretical perspective grounded in motivated reasoning theory. Clearly, parties shape citizens' opinions by mobilizing, influencing, and structuring choices among political alternatives. But the answer to when and how parties influence citizens' reasoning and political opinions depends on an interaction between citizens' motivations, effort, and information generated from the political environment (particularly through competition between parties). The contribution of motivated reasoning, as we describe it, is to provide a coherent theoretical framework for understanding partisan influence on citizens' political opinions. We review recent empirical work consistent with this framework. We also point out puzzles ripe for future research and discuss how partisan-motivated reasoning provides a useful point of departure for such work
