Ruang Kelas: Memori Kolektif Dalam Fotografi Kontemporer

Memori kolektif merupakan bagian konstruksi sosial yang memiliki makna sebagai suatu ingatan berproses yang pertama-tama berada dalam konteks sosial tertentu. Ruang kelas  Sekolah dasar selain sebagai fasilitas pembelajaran antara siswa dan guru, ruang kelas juga merupakan tempat yang membentuk kolektif atau kelompok sosial. keberadaan benda-benda yang berada di ruang kelas sekolah dasar menjadi penting dikarenakan selain material dan fungsinya tapi juga sebagai budaya benda (Material Culture) yang memiliki dimensi historis dalam ingatan kolektif. Pengkarya berusaha memicu ingatan benda-benda yang berada di ruang  kelas dengan menvisualkan benda-benda yang menjadi subjek, dengan teknik jukstaposisi yang mendampingkan dan menekankan asosiasi antara benda-benda pada setiap frame foto dan mekonstruksi suatu narasi. Menggunakan fotografi sebagai medium cukup mumpuni sebagai teknologi tiruan realitas dengan citra. Terutama dalam fotografi kontemporer.Fotografi Kontemporer adalah sebuah Karya fotografi yang membebaskan diri dari kemapanan fotografi yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Fotografi kontemporer adalah sebuah cara membidik sesuatu dari sisi yang sungguh-sungguh berbeda dari kebiasaan umumnya, dengan isi proporsi yang diberikan untuk rentang waktu tertentu. dimana pengkarya mencoba untuk memicu ingatan atau pengalaman terhadap benda-benda yang ada diruang kelas

SISTEM GARIS FINISH PACU JALUR MENGGUNAKAN SENSOR CAHAYA DAN LASER BERBASIS ARDUINO UNO

Saat ini jalur finis landasan pacu dilengkapi dengan monitor garis tenol untuk mendukung keputusan dewan juri untuk memutuskan kemenangan suatu rute. Dengan sistem ini masih terdapat beberapa permasalahan salah satunya adalah lambatnya juri dalam menentukan pemenang dikarenakan rekaman video yang tidak jelas sehingga harus memutar video tersebut berulang kali untuk memastikan pemenangnya, Masalah lain yang menyulitkan penonton untuk melihat pemenang di setiap hilir jalur datang terlambat ke arena pacuan kuda tidak melihat mana yang menang. Dari permasalahan tersebut penulis membuat sistem garis finish berbasis sensor dengan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno. Sistem ini dibuat agar para juri lebih terbantu dalam menentukan keputusan pemenang suatu trayek dan masyarakat dapat lebih mudah mengakses informasi lintasan yang sedang berjalan dan dokumentasi lintasan

The New Public Administration and Service Delivery in Public Organizations in Nigeria.

Abstract: We examined the relationship between New Public Administration and Service Delivery in Public Organizations in Nigeria. The main focus of new administration is the use of market techniques to improve the performance of the public sector. The main features of NPA include performance contracting, cost recovering, commercialization, decentralization and accountability among others. The study adopts a content analysis method through the use of secondary data. The study recommends among others that the implementation of the reform can be tackled by being more practical, sensitizing public servants in an adequate/timely manner, and taking into cognizance the environmental realities of the Nigerian public service. It concludes that new public management is sine qua non for any civil service that wants to be effective in service delivery

Sedimentology and diagenesis of Neogene sediments in the central Kenya Rift Valley

Sedimentation in the central Kenya Rift between latitudes 0°30'N and 0°45'N is controlled primarily by tectonics and volcanism. Rift-floor subsidence led to the formation of many basins in which fluviatile, lacustrine and colluvial deposits have accumulated from the Miocene epoch to the present. Major lava flows in the region capped most of the Neogene rift sediments after sedimentation in the individual basins, but episodic tectonic uplift and subsidence within the main half-graben have exposed the sediments in some areas, notably west of Lake Baringo. Clastic sediments along the rift shoulder in these basins are derived from metamorphic basement rocks, volcanic rocks or a combination of both sources. This thesis describes the detailed sedimentology and diagenesis of selected Neogene siliciclastic sediments in the central Kenya Rift basins and assesses the potential hydrocarbon reservoir and source rocks in the region. Petrographic and mineralogical analyses of siliciclastic rocks from throughout the region reveal that, in general, sands derived from basement rocks are better potential hydrocarbon reservoirs than those derived from volcanic sources. Sands of volcanic derivation are commonly susceptible to early diagenetic formation of authigenic clay minerals, zeolites, iron oxides and calcite cements, which reduce the porosity and permeability of the rocks before hydrocarbons can be come entrapped. X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analyses of authigenic analcimes in the Miocene Tambach Formation show that they formed by the reaction of clays with saline, alkaline pore fluids, whereas the analcimes in the Kapkiamo and Poi lacustrine sub-basins of the Ngorora Formation likely formed from zeolite precursors, that themselves originated from reaction of volcanic glass with alkaline water. Authigenic analcimes in the sediments of the Ngorora Formation occur as pore-lining and pore-filling cements and predate authigenic smectites. The paleolakes of the Poi and Kapkiamo basins of the Ngorora Formation (Member C) were saline and alkaline (commonly, pH > 9.5) at certain stages and periodically underwent desiccation. Early diagenesis is strongly controlled by groundwater levels and their fluctuations, while the effect of temperature likely becomes more significant with burial. The results of a diagenetic study of selected Miocene siliciclastic sediments in the central Kenya Rift show that the greatest hydrocarbon reservoir potential exists in fluviatile arkosic or quartzose sands that have not experienced much early diagenesis and retain much primary porosity

An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment and Industrial Sector Performance on Nigerian Economy

This research investigated the impact of foreign direct investment and industrial sector performance on Nigeria economy using time series annual data from 1981 – 2015. The study explores dynamics amongst the variables within the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Philip Perron’s (PP) test reveals that all variables contained a unit root and were integrated of order one I(1).  The Johansen Cointegration test result reveals the presence of a long-run relationship between FDI, Industrial Sector Output and GDP. Furthermore, VECM estimate shows that FDI and industrial sector output had a slight significant positive impact on GDP.The study concludes that Nigeria is yet to fully reap the benefit of FDI since its contribution to GDP is still very low at the moment, whilst the contribution of the industrial sector in the country has not been vibrant enough to spur economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends among other things that social and economic infrastructure be improved as this will help lessen the burden of industrialist and eventually lower the cost of doing business and in turn attract FDI inflow into Nigeria.

Determinants of poverty vulnerability in Uganda

Ugandan data shows poverty to be entrenched in rural areas and in large households. Households with heads exposed to education, an improved health status, less reliance on agriculture as the most important source of earnings, access to electricity for lighting and, the presence of markets to sell produce in the community experience improved household well-being. The data also confirms two known stylized facts regarding poverty vulnerability. First, households in the Northern region have a higher probability of being poor than those in Central, Eastern, and Western regions. Second, the ‘annual cropping and cattle northern' and ‘annual cropping and cattle Teso' zones are the agro ecological zones that are positively correlated with poverty vulnerability . The fact that residence in rural areas is associated with higher incidence of poverty suggests that promotion of off-farm employment (for example, through rural electrification) would help reduce vulnerability.Poverty vulnerability, logistic regression, Uganda

The impact of OECD Agricultural trade liberalization on poverty in Uganda

The paper examines the projected impacts of agricultural trade liberalisation by OECD countries on poverty in Uganda and compares them to the poverty impacts of all merchandise trade liberalisation. The overall impact of OECD agricultural trade liberalisation on welfare in Uganda from this simulation is positive in contrast to previous research, nevertheless, the poor appear to be made worse off. The liberalisation of all OECD merchandise trade including non-agricultural commodities reduces welfare for all deciles irrespective of household poverty status, residence and region. The results for global partial merchandise trade liberalisation are similar to those for total trade liberalisation with an overall welfare decline of about 0.5 percent. More specifically, even the modest welfare gains for producers from increased prices seem to be offset by welfare losses from increases in consumer goods. Overall, because of the large subsistence agricultural sector, households tend to experience little or no change in total welfare arising from agricultural price changes. Increases in market value of their agricultural based output tend to be offset by changes in the opportunity cost of their subsistence consumption of the bulk of that output.Microsimulation, agricultural trade liberalization, Uganda , poverty

HIV/AIDS counselling program : a rural Ghana experience

This paper describes an HIV/AIDS counselling training program which has run for two-and-ahalf years at the Holy Family Hospital, Berekum. The training is designed to teach paraprofessionals active listening skills to cope with the spiritual and emotional dimension of the person who is HIV-positive. Parallel to this training, the Hospital established counselling services which have been extended to include home visiting. Difficulties have been the need for emotional support of counsellors, a lack of time and staff, and the lack of financial resources. The overall success of the program, however, has indicated that this form of counselling training is an effective way of addressing the emotional care of persons with HIV/AIDS
