Kepribadian manusia merupakan bentuk tingkah laku manusia berdasarkan sikap dan sifatnya. Kepribadian setiap manusia berbeda-beda, hal ini di pengaruhi oleh dua faktor utama yaitu, faktor internal dan eksternal. Carl Gustav Jung adalah seorang pencipta teori psikologi analitis membagi kepribadian manusia berdasarkan sikap jiwanya menjadi dua tipe yaitu introvert dan ekstrovert. Penciptaan dengan judul “Kepribadian Introvert dalam Fotografi Ekspresi” ini membahas mengenai kepribadian introvert pada manusia. Kepribadian introvert merupakan kepribadian manusia yang lebih cenderung fokus dengan dunia yang ada dalam dirinya sendiri dan membatasi dirinya dengan dunia luar sehingga dalam masyarakat umum, muncul penilaian yang kurang tepat. Sehingga muncul keinginan untuk memvisualkan bagaimana sebenarnya ciri-ciri kepribadian introvert dari sudut pandang seorang introvert dan teori mengenai kepribadian introvert. Media yang digunakan untuk penciptaan karya adalah fotografi ekspresi. Fungsi fotografi ekspresi adalah sebagai media ungkapan perasaan dan gagasan  seorang  fotografer.  Proses digital imaging dilakukan dalam penciptaan karya untuk penambahan elemen dan objek pendukung sebagai media penyampai pesan, agar pesan  yang  ada pada foto bisa sampai kepada penikmat foto. Tujuan penciptaan ini  adalah  untuk menggambarkan bagaimana kepribadian manusia khususnya introvert dapat divisualisasikan melalui media fotografi ekspresi.Human personality is a form of human behavior based on attitude and nature. The personality of every human being is different, this is influenced by two main factors, namely, internal and external factors. Carl Gustav Jung is a creator of analytical psychological theory dividing human personality based on his soul attitude into two types, namely introvert and extrovert. The creation of the title "Introverted Personality in Expression Photography" discusses introverted personality in humans. Introverted personality is a human personality that is more likely to focus on the world that exists in itself and limit itself to the outside world so that in the general public, an inappropriate assessment appears. So the desire arises to visualize how introverted personality traits actually are from the point of view of an introvert and the theory of introverted personality. The media used for the creation is expression photography. It’s for a medium to express the feelings and ideas of a photographer. The digital imaging process is carried out in the creation of works for the addition of supporting elements and objects as message delivery media, so that the message on the photo can reach photo lovers. The purpose of this creation is to describe how human personality, especially introverts, can be visualized through the media of expression photography.

In our modern world electoral sociology, which is under constant scrutiny by the general public, as well as members of the media, in many ways shapes the image of sociology as a scientific discipline. Today sociology is often represented by media reports about the results of public opinion polls on the subject of politics and electoral affairs. Meanwhile a certain other trend is apparent: the high expectations imposed on electoral studies, as well as on their verifiability and efficiency, encourage the further development of sociological research and sociology in general. Scientific studies on electoral processes are defined by the convergence of various schools and paradigms of research, which implies an overlapping of different approaches and methods. This article presents the stages of electoral sociology’s development, from “straw polls” to contemporary theories of electoral behavior (the straw poll stage, electoral sociology in the 1930’s and 1940’s, ecological analysis in electoral sociology, the behavioral approach, the sociological theory on electoral behavior, the socio-psychological theory of electoral behavior, the theory of instrumental rationality), which in modern electoral sociology are known as “post-Gallup” theories. The author reveals the main characteristics of each stage of modern electoral sociology’s development, while highlighting its achievements and value, and giving a comprehensive analysis of modern theories of electoral behavior, with regards to issues located on the line between political sociology and sociology of law. Among these issues special consideration is given to elections as a political phenomenon, the political culture and political attitudes of the electorate, features of voting systems, political mechanisms and electoral technologies.

Advancements in state of the art high density Head/Disk retrieval systems has increased the demand for sophisticated failure analysis methods. From 1968 to 1974 the emphasis was on the number of tracks per inch. (TPI) ranging from 100 to 400 as summarized in Table 1. This emphasis shifted with the increase in densities to include the number of bits per inch (BPI). A bit is formed by magnetizing the Fe203 particles of the media in one direction and allowing magnetic heads to recognize specific data patterns. From 1977 to 1986 the tracks per inch increased from 470 to 1400 corresponding to an increase from 6300 to 10,800 bits per inch respectively. Due to the reduction in the bit and track sizes, build and operating environments of systems have become critical factors in media reliability.Using the Ferrofluid pattern developing technique, the scanning electron microscope can be a valuable diagnostic tool in the examination of failure sites on disks.

Predominantly non-etiological conceptions have dominated the field of mental retardation (MR) since the discovery of the genetic etiology of Down syndrome (DS) in the sixties. However, contemporary approaches are becoming more etiologically oriented. Important differences across MR syndromes of genetic origin are being documented, particularly in the cognition and language domains, differences not explicable in terms of psychometric level, motivation, or other dimensions. This paper highlights the major difficulties observed in the oral language development of individuals with genetic syndromes of mental retardation. The extent of inter- and within-syndrome variability are evaluated. Possible brain underpinnings of the behavioural differences are envisaged. Cases of atypically favourable language development in MR individuals are also summarized and explanatory variables discussed. It is suggested that differences in brain architectures, originating in neurological development and having genetic origins, may largely explain the syndromic as well as the individual within-syndrome variability documented. Lastly, the major implications of the above points for current debates about modularity and developmental connectionism are spelt out.

Summary: Older adults consistently have the highest rates of suicide in most societies. Despite the paucity of studies until recently, research has shown that suicides in later life are best understood as a multidimensional event. An especially neglected area of research is the psychological/psychiatric study of personality factors in the event. This paper outlines one comprehensive model of suicide and then raises the question: Is such a psychiatric/psychological theory applicable to all suicides in the elderly? To address the question, I discuss the case of Sigmund Freud; raise the topic of suicide and/or dignified death in the terminally ill; and examine suicide notes of the both terminally ill and nonterminally ill elderly. I conclude that, indeed, greater study and theory building are needed into the “suicides” of the elderly, including those who are terminally ill.

Summary: The body of evidence suggests that there is a causal association between nonfictional media reporting of suicide (in newspapers, on television, and in books) and actual suicide, and that there may be one between fictional media portrayal (in film and television, in music, and in plays) and actual suicide. This finding has been explained by social learning theory. The majority of studies upon which this finding is based fall into the media “effects tradition,” which has been criticized for its positivist-like approach that fails to take into account of media content or the capacity of audiences to make meaning out of messages. A cultural studies approach that relies on discourse and frame analyses to explore meanings, and that qualitatively examines the multiple meanings that audiences give to media messages, could complement the effects tradition. Together, these approaches have the potential to clarify the notion of what constitutes responsible reporting of suicide, and to broaden the framework for evaluating media performance.

Utilizing a 2 (lyrics: present or absent) × 2 (images: present or absent) design, this study examined the unique effects of sexually degrading music videos and music lyrics on males’ aggressive behavior toward women, as well as males’ endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. Under the guise of a media memory study, 187 male undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Despite the many psychological theories predicting an effect, the presentation of sexually degrading content in a visual or auditory medium (or combination thereof) did not significantly alter the participants’ aggression and self-reported endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. The null findings challenge the many corporate and governmental restrictions placed on sexual content in the media over concern for harmful effects.
