AbstractOur aim in this study was to determine students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards cheating in assessing students’ performance. We used mixed methodology and the main research method was a case study. We aimed to describe how our respondents: 1. recognize ethical misconduct (EM) in several situations given through case studies, 2. understand the roles of each subject involved, 3. predict consequences of the EM and how they understand its possible causes, 4. create individual answers to EM or resolve problem situations. The research sample of students (120) includes participants from three basic study programs and two postgraduate programs in the field of education. A sample of teachers (42) was obtained from a number of faculties by random selection. Our respondents have identified most forms of EM reasonably well, although in some situations, the respondents recognized other errors (poor organization of time for learning, professors’ strict deadline for paper submission, etc.) as EM. Therefore, the issues of ethics are not completely clear to all respondents, which leads to the conclusion that universities must organize training in this field. Both groups of respondents understand EM in a similar way, and whether it is a professor or a student (or students) who commits EM has not affected their responses. Our results suggest that it is necessary to work on the prevention of fraud by discussing the consequences (especially the long-term ones, which were not considerably discussed in the comments), by learning ethical reasoning, by developing functional strategies of learning for the purpose of preventing fraud.

Abstract: Public open spaces are spaces that can be accessed for free and can accommodate a variety of peoples and activities. Therefore, both if in each residential area or at a certain radius there is at least one public open space, no exception in urban villages with a characteristic population density that has become the root of settlement culture in Indonesia. This research then took a case study in one of the villages in the city of Yogyakarta, namely Kampung Gampingan, which despite entering into a slum arrangement according to Mayor Decree Number 216 Year 2016, but still has one existing public open space that still exists utilized by residents around every day, both by children until adults. Related to these findings, this study was conducted as a basic study whose results can be used as a foundation for the arrangement of slums in the future. In its design, public open space must also pay attention to the times and various aspects and needs for the convenience of its users. Although comfort is very difficult to define, at least comfort can be assessed through people's preferences through the responsiveness of each individual. For this reason, through a qualitative-exploratory method using a questionnaire filled out by users of public open spaces in Kampung Gampingan, this study aims to find citizens' preferences for aspects of the comfort of public open spaces based on comfort theory; what matters that must be prioritized or must be avoided in the design for the creation of the convenience of citizens. From this study it was found that in order to achieve the comfort of a public open space, aspects of governance needed include cleanliness, safety, circulation, shape / dimension, noise, lighting, smell, natural/ climate power, and supporting facilities such as the free internet access, parks, CCTV, drink water, trash cans, streetlights, children's games, and furniture.

Oleh karenanya, baik apabila dalam setiap wilayah permukiman warga atau pada radius tertentu terdapat minimal satu buah ruang terbuka publik, tidak terkecuali di kampung kota dengan ciri khas kepadatan penduduknya yang sudah menjadi akar budaya permukiman di Indonesia. Penelitian ini kemudian mengambil studi kasus di salah satu kampung di Kota Yogyakarta yakni Kampung Gampingan, yang meskipun masuk ke dalam penataan kawasan kumuh menurut Surat Keputusan Walikota Nomor 216 Tahun 2016, namun masih memiliki satu buah ruang terbuka publik eksisting yang masih eksis dimanfaatkan warga sekitar setiap harinya, baik oleh anak-anak hingga orang dewasa.Terkait temuan tersebut, maka dilakukan penelitian ini sebagai kajian dasar yang hasilnya dapat digunakan untuk landasan penataan kampung kumuh di masa depan.Dalam perancangannya, ruang terbuka publik juga harus memperhatikan perkembangan zaman serta berbagai aspek maupun kebutuhan demi kenyamanan penggunanya. Meskipun kenyamanan sangat sulit didefinisikan, setidaknya kenyamanan dapat dinilai melalui preferensi warga lewat penilaian responsif setiap individunya. Untuk itu, melalui metode kualitatif-eksploratif dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang diisi oleh pengguna ruang terbuka publik di Kampung Gampingan, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan preferensi warga terhadap aspek kenyamanan ruang terbuka publik yang didasarkan pada teori kenyamanan; hal-hal apa saja yang harus diutamakan maupun harus dihindarkan dalam desain perancangan demi terciptanya kenyamanan warga. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa ternyata untuk mencapai kenyamanan suatu ruang terbuka publik, diperlukan aspek-aspek penataan yang meliputi kebersihan, keamanan, sirkulasi, bentuk/dimensi, kebisingan, penerangan, aroma, daya alam/iklim, dan fasilitas penunjang seperti adanya internet gratis, taman, CCTV, air siap minum, tempat sampah, lampu jalan, permainan anak, serta furnitur.Kata Kunci: Kenyamanan, Ruang Terbuka Publik, Warga, Kampung Gampingan, Kota Yogyakarta

The research on the “Intervision”, used as an empiric case study about the inter-cultural communication between its participants, consists of examining primary sources spread over several archives throughout Europe to collect structural and administrative data, making interviews with contemporary witnesses and evaluating statistics – with mainly the task to widen the perspective on a subject, that was formerly nation-focused or being described with a Western view only. As the preliminary steps of a basic study on the History of the Program Exchange in Eastern Europe during the Cold War, this research became an example, with which challenges one is confronted within an Media Archaeological task.

This chapter on basic study designs provides an overview of the most common design methodologies used in interventional studies. The chapter discusses both the advantages and limitations of parallel group designs (placebo or active control comparison trial, factorial design), repeated measures design (cross-over or between-subjects design), and quasi-experimental designs. It provides examples and discusses designs that are used in specific settings (for example, rare diseases, phases of dug development, and interventions in real life, including large simple trials, N-of-1). The chapter ends with a case study that illustrates the in-depth application of the available options into practice.

Micro-perforated panels (MPPs) are one of the most promising alternatives to conventional porous sound-absorbing materials. Traditionally, the theory of the sound absorption properties of MPPs is based on the assumption that MPPs are a homogeneous material with identical pores at regular intervals. However, in recent years, some MPPs have not met these conditions, and although a variety of designs have been created, their properties and prediction methods were studied in only fewer works. In this paper, considering the wide variety of MPP designs, we made a trial production of heterogeneous MPPs, which are MPPs with holes of different diameters, and studied the prediction method applicable to these MPPs. We measured the normal incidence sound absorption characteristics of those MPPs, backed by a rigid backing and air-cavity in-between, in an impedance tube. The prediction method proposed in this work is to treat the heterogeneous MPPs as combinations of several homogeneous components, and to combine them after applying the existing theory on homogeneous MPPs to each component. As a result, except in a few cases, the measured and predicted values of the absorption properties agreed relatively well. We also found that the arrangement of the holes in the material and the depth of the back cavity affected the agreement between the measured and predicted results.
