Department of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports in Semarang Regency needs in accordance with plan and periodically to conduct education and training of principal’s managerial competence and to optimize the role of supervisor in constructing and assisting the principal of the target school

Analisis Gaussian Dan Edge Connection Dalam Penajaman Deteksi Tepi Menggunakan Metode Canny

Edge detection is one of many ways to get information from an image without big data storage needed. In this research, the edge detecting is done by implementing Canny edge detection algorithm. The focus of this research is to analyze the effect of two variables of the first process of Canny, Gaussian filter smoothing, that is size of matrix and variance, to the sharpening of edge detection. The testing is done by changing the size of the matrix and the value of the variance. The results showed that the best matrix size and variance for sharp edge detection is less than 30x30 and 30

Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate in thePresence of Nanosized Ferric Oxide

The catalytic effect of two different sizes of a-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesised using an electrochemicalmethod was investigated on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) using differentialscanning calorimetry as a function of catalyst concentration.  The nanosized ferric oxide particles exhibitedmore of a catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP than commercial Fe2O3  particles. A loweringof the high-temperature decomposition of AP by 59 oC was observed after mixing with 2 Wt per cent ofa-Fe2O3  particles with the very fine size of 3.5 nm. The mixture produced a high heat release of 4.574 kJ/g compared to 0.834 kJ/g of pure AP. The kinetic parameters were evaluated using Kissinger method. Thedecrease in the activation energy and increase in rate constant confirmed the catalytic activity of thesenanoparticles.Defence Science Journal, 2008, 58(6), pp.721-727, DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.58.169

Plant-Derived Protectants in Combating Soil-Borne Fungal Infections in Tomato and Chilli

Fungal infections transmitted through the soil continue to pose a threat to a variety of horticultural and agricultural products, including tomato and chilli. The indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides has resulted in a slew of unintended consequences for the surrounding ecosystem. To achieve sustainable productivity, experts have turned their attention to natural alternatives. Due to their biodegradability, varied mode of action, and minimal toxicity to non-target organisms, plant-derived protectants (PDPs) are being hailed as a superior replacement for plant pesticides. This review outlines PDPs’ critical functions (including formulations) in regulating soil-borne fungal diseases, keeping tomato and chilli pathogens in the spotlight. An in-depth examination of the impact of PDPs on pathogen activity will be a priority. Additionally, this review emphasises the advantages of the in silico approach over conventional approaches for screening plants’ secondary metabolites with target-specific fungicidal activity. Despite the recent advances in our understanding of the fungicidal capabilities of various PDPs, it is taking much longer for that information to be applied to commercially available pesticides. The restrictions to solving this issue can be lifted by breakthroughs in formulation technology, governmental support, and a willingness to pursue green alternatives among farmers and industries

Schizophrenia Found in Jerry Hickfang's Character in “the Voices” Movie

The Voices movie is analyzed in this study because it is based on true story and also lots of lesson in life found in it such as, mental illness, behaves, and communicate. This research aimed at identifying the types of hallucination and the types of language abnormalities as reflected in the schizophrenic conversations of Jerry Hickfang's character in The Voices movie. The method used by the researcher is descriptive qualitative. The data of this study were analyzed by using Veague's theory about hallucination and using Liddle et al (2002) theory about language abnormalities. In the process of analyzing all of those data, the researcher had some procedures namely watching the movie for several times, reading the movie script, then analyzing Jerry Hickfang's character related to behaviour and language. The researcher mentioned two findings, they are types of hallucination and language abnormalities. For the types of hallucination, there are 3 types of hallucination stated in this movie, namely auditory hallucination, visual hallucination and olfactory hallucination. For the types of language abnormalities, there are 2 types of it stated in this movie, namely disorganization and dysregulation. In disorganization, there are 3 subtypes, namely looseness, peculiar use of word and non- logical reasoning (peculiar logic). In dysregulation, there are 2 subtypes namely perseveration and distractibility. There are 4 data of both (hallucination and language abnormalities)
