This study aims to explain: 1) the relationship of body attitude in Manduda Dance with the activities of the Simalungun community; 2) the relationship between the type of transition in Manduda dance and the activities of Simalungun community; 3) the relationship between the number of active body part in Manduda dance and the patterns of daily activities of Simalungun community; 4) the relationship between business forms and the patterns of study is the formulation of dance style in Manduda dance on Simalungun community in a contextual perspective. The research method used is a qualitative-anthropological approach, specifically called choreometrics, which is to analyze the relationship between dance movements including body attitude, type of transition, the number of active body part, and the forms of business with patterns of daily community activities. Observation, documentation, and interview techniques were used to collect data and then the triangulation data analysis process was carried out to obtain the credibility of the data. The results of this study found that both viewed from body attitude, type of transition, the number of active body part, as well as the forms of effort contained in Manduda dance, were very closely related to the patterns of daily activities of Simalungun community patterned with paddy harvesting agricultural activities.

Piso Surit dance in Karo community has distinctive characteristics in its movement techniques, floor patterns, environmental ethical norms, and symbolic-philosophical images. All of these characteristics grow and develop in line with aspects of the living environment that have been integrated in each form of art. This study aims to explain: 1) the basis and rules of Piso Surit dance; and 2) the concept of  Piso Surit dance choreography. This study uses a choreographic-anthropological approach, which is to analyze the relationship of dance motion with the aesthetic choreographic concept of Piso Surit dance and Karo community's mindset. Observation, documentation, and interview techniques are used to collect data and then the triangulation data analysis process is carried out to obtain the credibility of the data. The results showed that the rules for the use and application of motive motives fall into two categories, namely for male dancers and female dancers. The application of the prevailing floor pattern is dealing with their partners, side by side, and encircling each other. The rules for the use and application of accompaniment patterns intend to create a unified nature that is subtle, gentle, and harmonious. In the concept of choreography, Piso Surit's dance movements are broken down into nine (9) sections. The movements use techniques such as: a) tiptoeing, b) rotating movements, c) stopping fingers, and d) up and down movements. The music used as accompaniment in the Piso Surit dance is a folk song in Karo area with the same title. This dance uses 'beautiful' make-up to emphasize the dancer's facial lines in a dance performance, while the fashion is a dress code as used by Karo community. As a pair dance, the floor pattern applied is to show or emphasize the story of how young Karo young people combine love.

The systematic kinematic analysis method for planar link mechanisms based on their unique procedures can clearly show the analysis process. The analysis procedure is expressed by a combination of many kinds of conversion functions proposed as the minimum calculation units for analyzing a part of the mechanism. When it is desired to perform this systematic kinematics analysis for a specific linkage mechanism, expert researchers can accomplish the analysis by searching for the procedure by themselves, however, it is difficult for non-expert users to find the procedure. This paper proposes the automatic procedure extraction algorithm for the systematic kinematic analysis of closed-loop planar link mechanisms. By limiting the types of conversion functions to only geometric calculations that are related to the two-link chain, the analysis procedure can be represented by only one type transformation function, and the procedure extraction algorithm can be described as a algorithm searching computable 2-link chain. The configuration of mechanism is described as the “LJ-matrix”, which shows the relationship of connections between links with pairs. The algorithm consists of four sub-processes, namely, “LJ-matrix generator”, “Solver process”, “Add-link process”, and “Over-constraint resolver”. Inputting the sketch of the mechanism into the proposed algorithm, it automatically extracts unique analysis procedure and generate a kinematic analysis program as a MATLAB code based on it. Several mechanisms are analyzed as examples to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

In developed countries, especially the big-sized ones like Australia and the USA, a car is almost an inevitable necessity to carry out daily activities. Due to this, used cars have become a great alternative to brand new cars because of their cost effectiveness. In this work, estimation of prices of used cars based on numerous factors is studied statistically. Data is based on prices of used cars sold across Australia. Statistical methods like correlation and permutation tests using linear regression model, exact tests and non-parametric bootstrapping is implemented to study the relationship of price with mileage and year of manufacture of the car using p-values and null hypothesis. Predictions are also made on the price by calculating a 95% confidence interval (CI) of median prices in small portions of the dataset. The study presents potential ideas for understanding correlation between variables and parameters in business studies.

In Inuktituk, nuna means the land. It means the rocks, rivers, mountains and the forests. Nuna is everything, and all parts of the nuna have an inua, which means a living soul. There is a special, if not sacred relationship between members of northern communities and the nuna. However, these sacred relationships are all too often glossed over, if not forgotten. In the social sciences, author John Sorenson articulates a critical argument and evocative opinions about hunting in his article; Hunting is a Part of Human Nature (John Sorenson, “Hunting is a Part of Human Nature,” Culture of Prejudice, Arguments in Critical Social Science. Eds. Judith Blackwell, Murray Smith, John Sorenson, (Canada: Broadview Press, 2003).Sorenson demonstrates that hunting is an unnatural human activity which is linked to a cultural domination over animals. However, in these statements Sorenson neglects to consider the northern hunter in Inuit communities around the world. Cultural myths, social constructions and daily activities prove that hunting animals is a core value to how many Inuit peoples relate to each other and perceive themselves in the cosmos. This is a study that examines the relationship of people, land, animals and faith in order to understand the significance of hunting within Inuit cultures.

Title: Narrative Approach in the Design of Integrated Space Connectivity in Taman Kemang As a commercial area the Taman Kemang street has certain activities based on its functions such as parking ,working, selling (street vendors), eating and relaxing, people who just walk to Lippo Mall Kemang and activities from online transportation to deliver and pick up. However, as a commercial area, the Taman Kemang street does not have the balance of the daily activities as the city space. This is because different activities are defined by time from morning to night and weekdays and weekends. This is because the bordering space that are formed are utilized as parking lots and selling places of the street vendors which it should be utilized more as public spaces. Therefore, in this research, the author uses a narrative approach as an analysis process towards the design stage through the stages of the story - narrative - narration as a problem-solving solution. The process of analysis is based on activities on the Taman Kemang street through the motives of community activities that form events in a certain time. So that in the narrative stage a story concept is formed which is how to revive the bordering space of the daily narrative formed on the Taman Kemang street. Then supported by strategies at the stage of narration through 5 narrative landscape strategies and forming quality space, namely the formation of activity identity, space identity and continuity of the results of the integration of bordering space elements.

Buyung dance is rarely displayed and has begun to be unknown to the public. Also, children, today prefer foreign culture and dance. As a result, the existence of Buyung dance is only limited to recognition, without the benefits that can be felt. The absence of written guidelines in each of the Buyung dance movements is very interesting for researchers to analyze the relationship of the Buyung dance movements with mathematics. This type of research used in this study is qualitative research. In qualitative research, the instrument is the researcher himself and cannot be replaced by others. Data collection techniques used in this study through the method of observation, interviews, and documentation. Every hand movement of the dancers and movements between dancers to one another makes the movements of the dances neat and attractive following the Frieze Group, with four frieze patterns found in the dances of the pitchers.

RingkasanA-Na(d)tayaSati adalah penciptaan karya tari dengan menyatukan prinsip hubungan Anapanasati (napas Buddha) dengan struktur gerak tari klasik Thailand. Tujuan penciptaan agar bisa mengarah pada salah satu bentuk atau metode gerakan tari Thailand yang berfokus pada penggunaan napas sebagai landasan struktur gerakan independen, alami, dengan mengambil kekuatan energi dari dalam ke luar. Hal ini untuk membuat gerakan tersebut bertahan lama sehingga bisa bergerak dalam jangka waktu yang lebih lama, dan merupakan gerak yang tenang melalui meditasi yang alami, tanpa memaksa tubuh. Karya ini bertujuan pula untuk menciptakan gerakan lain dalam tarian Thailand yang konsisten dengan doktrin Buddha, yang sadar akan jangkauannya saat ini dan alami melalui latihan dan kesadaran diri. Dengan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip meditasi dalam bentuk Anapanasati dan teori gerakan tubuh sesuai dengan (teori Pemrograman Motor) dalam anatomi untuk menemukan hubungan dari gerakan tari klasik Thailand yang memberikan arti penting bagi gerakan dengan napas penari. Proses penciptaan hubungan Anapanasati (Napas Buddha) dengan struktur gerak tari klasik Thailand, sebagai pengakuan adanya gerakan baru yang memiliki energi aerobik (Aerobic system) yang beredar sepanjang waktu. Hal ini merupakan sistem tubuh yang menggunakan oksigen untuk membakar sepenuhnya dan terbentuk sebagai energi yang berkelanjutan dan damai dari dalam tubuh yang disebabkan oleh meditasi dengan metode pernapasan sambil melalukan gerakan tari klasik Thailand. Selain itu, tubuh tetap memiliki postur yang jelas, kuat dan unik dengan struktur gerakan tari klasik Thailand namun menjadi lebih ringan, lebih nyaman dan lebih alami. Energi dari napas masuk dan ke luar itu membuat gerakan menjadi terus-menerus, tanpa akhir, tanpa masalah kelelahan dan kontraksi otot saat bergerak ketika menari.AbstractThe dance work creation with the principle of the relationship of Anapanasati (Buddha's breath) in the structure of the classical Thai dance movement. In the aim of being able to lead to one form or method of Thai dance movements that focuses on the use of breath as a foundation for the structure of independent movements, natural, and take energy from the inside to outside. This makes the movement very durable so that it can move for a longer period of time and is a quiet movement through natural meditation, without force. To create another movement in Thai dance that is consistent with Buddhist doctrine, which is aware of its current and natural reach through practice and self-awareness. By applying the principles of meditation in the form of Anapanasati and the theory of appropriate body movements (Motor Programming theory) in anatomy to find the connection of classical dance movements Thailand which gives importance mean to movement with the breath of dancers. The process of creating Anapanasati (Buddha's Breath) with the movement structure of the Thai classical dance as recognition of a new movement that has an aerobic system circulating around the time. This is a body system that uses oxygen to burn completely and is formed as a continuous and peaceful energy from the inside caused by meditation with the breathing method while moving the Thai classical dance movement. Besides that, the body still has a clear and strong posture that is unique with the structure of Thai classical dance movements such as lighter, more comfortable and more natural. The energy of in and out breath makes the movement become continuous, endless, without a problem of fatigue and muscle contraction during movements in the dance.

Data analysis and mathematical techniques play a central role in quantitative data processing. Quantitative researchers estimate (strength) the strength of the relationship of variables, and test hypotheses statistically. Unlike the case with qualitative research. Although qualitative researchers might test a hypothesis in the analysis process, they do not estimate or test hypotheses about the relationship of variables statistically. Through tests or statistical tests can be used as the main means for interpreting the results of research data. It is through this statistical test that we as researchers can compare which data groups and what can be used to determine probabilities or possibilities that distinguish between groups based on an opportunity. Thus, it can provide evidence to determine the validity of a hypothesis or conclusion. In this study, we will discuss the preparation of data for analysis such as editing data, coding, categorizing, and entering data. As well as discussing the differences in data analysis for descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, differences in data analysis for parametric and non-parametric statistics in research, explanations of multivariate data analysis procedures, and also forms of research hypotheses.
