As a developing country, Indonesia has a tolerant society. Nonetheless, demands are currently rising for exclusive real estate models which are bounded from the vicinity by ring-fenced or portals. Understanding the socio-economic conflict is essential for developing urban housing at the gated community. This research is focused on the gate community housing in Makassar, which represents the condition of cities in Indonesia. The study combines both quantitative-qualitative analysis and spatial analysis. The data collection was obtained by observation and interviewing the neighborhood community. The data analysis uses triangulate combinations, which are essential performance analysis (IPA), Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), and the system information of geography analysis. The results show from 272 real estates in the city of Makassar there are 85.7percent of the gate communities in the city of Makassar which all show vulnerability to socio-economic conflicts. Although, the level of exclusivity increases, the socio-economic interactions tied between gate community residents and non-residents prevent social conflict from emerging.

Abstract Residential fragmentation undermines integration by physically excluding some urban dwellers through walling, fencing and use of barriers limiting interactions. Research has shown that many cities in the Global South are experiencing spatial fragmentation issues associated with increasing inequalities, social exclusion and proliferation of gated communities. This results in distinct residential fragments with limited interactions and unequal quality of life (QoL) conditions of the residents of the fragments. The aim of this paper is to describe the association between residential fragmentation and QoL based on three residential fragments in the city of Nairobi (Kenia). A mixed method approach was applied to understand fragmentation in the city and analyse integration and QoL satisfaction in the fragments. Household surveys and key informant interviews were main data collection methods. Data analysis methods used included descriptive statistics, spatial and content analysis. The results show, as expected, slum residents felt the least integrated symbolically compared to the planned non-gated and gated community residents. Similarly, gated community residents have higher QoL satisfaction compared to other types of fragments. There is a strong positive correlation between symbolic integration and QoL domains related to housing and safety in the slum, indicating that people who are satisfied with housing also have a sense of belonging to their neighbourhood. In contrast, community integration has a negative correlation with safety in the gated community implying that when the residents are satisfied with safety, they tend to have low social networks. Based on the empirical evidence, fragmentation is related to specific domains of QoL as it is associated with spatial exclusion through barriers and gating and marginalization of the poor making it harder for them to feel integrated. The residential fragments reflect the intense divides in Global South cities in terms of QoL conditions and access to services.

Gated communities in Jakarta had increased in numbers ever since the incident of 1998 riots. The Idea that was meant to create a better community carried out side-effects that highlighted the differences in terms of races and class. It led to a formation of a divided society where people would be less likely to interact with the other groups. The upper middle class chinese is one that has grown colder toward the larger society. This can be seen clearly in how the height of fences in local houses has kept increasing up until now. They rarely use public spaces where people from different backgrounds are present. And as long as public buildings come as an intervention from the outside world, this group will remain untouched. The Adaptive Public Space in Pluit is based on an idea called "Living Architecture" that thinks of architecture not as a final product. Rather, it embraces the possible architectural changes that could happen as a means of adapting in respose to future changes. Though both the idea and the building comes as an intervention, its sustainability fully depends on the contribution of the locals. Participatory design method is applied not in the pre-construction phase, but instead, in the process of maintaining the continuity of this project. It is a place where those who live in abundance materially can donate anything they want to those in need around them, solving issues caused by the social gap through a small scale project. This is a project in which people are asked to be a participant and not just a guest. Keywords:  change; contribution; donate; gated community; social gap Abstrak Sejak kerusuhan 1998, komunitas berpagar telah tumbuh signifikan dalam hal jumlah di Jakarta. Ide yang awalnya ditujukan untuk menyediakan lingkungan yang lebih aman justru semakin menegaskan perbedaan yang ada dalam hal etnis maupun kemampuan ekonomi. Hal ini menyebabkan masyarakat semakin terbagi dan tidak terbiasa berinteraksi dengan kelompok yang berbeda. Etnis Tionghoa menengah atas adalah salah satu yang semakin menutup diri dari lingkungan sekitarnya. Hal ini terlihat jelas pada semakin tingginya pagar rumah dan intensitas penggunaan ruang publik bersama oleh kelompok ini sangat rendah. Dalam menghadapi hal ini, pembangunan ruang publik belum dapat menjawab persoalan yang ada karena masih berupa intervensi langsung dari pihak luar. Berangkat dari tema arsitektur yang hidup, Ruang Publik Adaptif Pluit hadir bukan sebagai produk akhir arsitektur tetapi awal dari upaya adaptasi sebuah produk arsitektur terhadap lingkungan saat ini dan perubahan yang akan datang. Program dan bangunan yang ada merupakan bentuk intervensi dari dunia arsitektur namun keberlangsungannya bergantung penuh pada peran warga lokal dalam keseharian mereka. Dalam hal ini metode perancangan partisipatori diterapkan bukan dalam perancangan tetapi dalam kelanjutannya. Sebagai tempat di mana kelompok menengah atas bisa mendonasikan dari kelebihan mereka kepada yang membutuhkan, ketegangan akibat kesenjangan sosial diharapkan dapat diselesaikan dari skala terkecil. Ruang publik yang memberikan ruang bagi penggunanya untuk menjadi partisipan dan bukan sekedar tamu.

Abstract De Dreu and Gross predict that attackers will have more difficulty winning conflicts than defenders. As their analysis is presumed to capture the dynamics of decentralized conflict, we consider how their framework compares with ethnographic evidence from small-scale societies, as well as chimpanzee patterns of intergroup conflict. In these contexts, attackers have significantly more success in conflict than predicted by De Dreu and Gross's model. We discuss the possible reasons for this disparity.

AbstractWe applied advanced image enhancement techniques to explore in detail the characteristics of the small-scale structures and/or the low contrast structures in several Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) observed by SOHO. We highlight here the results from our studies of the morphology and dynamical evolution of CME structures in the solar corona using two instruments on board SOHO: LASCO and EIT.

A new family of scanning probe microscopes has emerged that is opening new horizons for investigating the fine structure of matter. The earliest and best known of these instruments is the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). First published in 1982, the STM earned the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics for two of its inventors, G. Binnig and H. Rohrer. They shared the prize with E. Ruska for his work that had led to the development of the transmission electron microscope half a century earlier. It seems appropriate that the award embodied this particular blend of the old and the new because it demonstrated to the world a long overdue respect for the enormous contributions electron microscopy has made to the understanding of matter, and at the same time it signalled the dawn of a new age in microscopy. What we are seeing is a revolution in microscopy and a redefinition of the concept of a microscope.Several kinds of scanning probe microscopes now exist, and the number is increasing. What they share in common is a small probe that is scanned over the surface of a specimen and measures a physical property on a very small scale, at or near the surface. Scanning probes can measure temperature, magnetic fields, tunneling currents, voltage, force, and ion currents, among others.

It is now well established that the phase transformation behavior of YBa2Cu3O6+δ is significantly influenced by matrix strain effects, as evidenced by the formation of accommodation twins, the occurrence of diffuse scattering in diffraction patterns, the appearance of tweed contrast in electron micrographs, and the generation of displacive modulation superstructures, all of which have been successfully modeled via simple Monte Carlo simulations. The model is based upon a static lattice formulation with two types of excitations, one of which is a change in oxygen occupancy, and the other a small displacement of both the copper and oxygen sublattices. Results of these simulations show that a displacive superstructure forms very rapidly in a morphology of finely textured domains, followed by domain growth and a more sharply defined modulation wavelength, ultimately evolving into a strong <110> tweed with 5 nm to 7 nm period. What is new about these findings is the revelation that both the small-scale deformation superstructures and coarser tweed morphologies can result from displacive modulations in ordered YBa2Cu3O6+δ and need not be restricted to domain coarsening of the disordered phase. Figures 1 and 2 show a representative image and diffraction pattern for fully-ordered (δ = 1) YBa2Cu3O6+δ associated with a long-period <110> modulation.

Abstract: We review research on response-latency based (“implicit”) measures of attitudes by examining what hopes and intentions researchers have associated with their usage. We identified the hopes of (1) gaining better measures of interindividual differences in attitudes as compared to self-report measures (quality hope); (2) better predicting behavior, or predicting other behaviors, as compared to self-reports (incremental validity hope); (3) linking social-cognitive theories more adequately to empirical research (theory-link hope). We argue that the third hope should be the starting point for using these measures. Any attempt to improve these measures should include the search for a small-scale theory that adequately explains the basic effects found with such a measure. To date, small-scale theories for different measures are not equally well developed.
