Komunikasi Visual Dalam Relief Karmawibhangga Candi Borobudur

Relief is a 3-dimensional work of art carved on a rock that is related to religious teachings, both Hindu and Buddhist. Relief is used to show religious lessons to followers, one of the relief is the Karmawibhangga relief found in Borobudur Temple which explains about karma law lessons using the community background at that time. This research will discuss the problem of depicting life in Karmawibhangga relief which can be a visual communication medium in the Mataram Kuno era. The purpose of this research was to determine the role of reliefs related to the values of social life and the values of the great traditions of the Karmawibhangga relief at Borobudur Temple. This study used a descriptive analysis method with primary data based on direct observation of the Karmawibhangga relief object at Borobudur Temple, and secondary data in the form of photos from a collection from the Borobudur Temple Conservation Center, as well as literature studies. In visual communication, aesthetics is a part that contains aspects of natural configuration so as to convey the message as a whole. Relief Karmawibhangga is a visual communication medium that depicts life in the ancient Mataram era.

Vortex phase matching as a strategy for schooling in robots and in fish

It has long been proposed that flying and swimming animals could exploit neighbour-induced flows. Despite this it is still not clear whether, and if so how, schooling fish coordinate their movement to benefit from the vortices shed by others. To address this we developed bio-mimetic fish-like robots which allow us to measure directly the energy consumption associated with swimming together in pairs (the most common natural configuration in schooling fish). We find that followers, in any relative position to a near-neighbour, could obtain hydrodynamic benefits if they exhibit a tailbeat phase difference that varies linearly with front-back distance, a strategy we term ‘vortex phase matching’. Experiments with pairs of freely-swimming fish reveal that followers exhibit this strategy, and that doing so requires neither a functioning visual nor lateral line system. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that fish typically, but not exclusively, use vortex phase matching to save energy.

PELATIHAN URBAN FARMING SEBAGAI SOLUSI RUANG TERBUKA HIJAU DI LORONG SIDODADI MEDAN HELVETIA

Kota Medan dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang tinggi ditambah dengan pembangunan pesat seringkali mengubah konfigurasi alami lahan sehingga merugikan keberadaan Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH). RTH Kota Medan yang ada saat ini baru 5,6 % atau 14,84 km2. lorong Sidodadi Kecamatan Medan Helvetia dipilih karena kawasan tersebut merupakan pemukiman padat yang kurang akan RTH dan memiliki kelompok ibu rumah tangga non-produktif. Kebijakan yang dapat dilakukan untuk memulihkan kembali kondisi lingkungan hidup dan mengatasi permasalahan RTH di lorong Sidodadi yaitu dengan menerapkan program urban farming secara vertikultur dengan melibatkan ibu rumah tangga non-produktif. Metode pelaksanaan pelatihan urban farming dengan vertikultur dilakukan dengan 5 tahapan, yaitu tahap persiapan, sosialisasi, pelatihan, pendampingan dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan pelatihan urban farming di lorong Sidodadi mendapat respon yang positif dan antusiasme kelompok sasaran. Seluruh peserta merasakan banyak manfaat dari segi estetika, kenyamanan thermal dan psikis, kesehatan serta ekonomi dan mengakui bahwa lorong Sidodadi terlihat lebih asri dari sebelumnya. Banyak warga non-peserta yang mulai tertarik untuk ikut serta menerapkan program urban farming di rumah mereka sendiri. Warga yang telah menerapkan program tidak lagi membeli beberapa jenis sayur ke pasar. Masalah yang timbul dalam kegiatan ini adalah hama tikus dan aktivitas anak-anak di sekitar lingkungan.Kata kunci : Permukiman Padat, Ruang Terbuka Hijau, Vertikultur Urban Farming Abstract Medan City with high population growth coupled with rapid development often change the natural configuration of the land to the detriment of the existence of Green Open Space (RTH). RTH of Medan City is currently only 5.6% or 14.84 km2. Lorong Sidodadi in Medan Helvetia subdistrict is chosen because the area is a densely populated settlements that lacks of Green Spaces and has a group of non-productive housewives. Policies that can be done to restore environmental conditions and overcome the Green Spaces problem in Sidodadi is by implementing verticulture urban farming program involving non-productive housewife. The method of implementation of urban farming with verticulture training done with 5 stages, namely the preparation stage, socialization, training, mentoring and evaluation. The results of the urban farming training activities in Lorong Sidodadi received a positive response and the enthusiasm of the target group. All participants felt a lot of benefits in terms of aesthetics, thermal and psychic comfort, health and economy and admitted that the aisle Sidodadi looks more beautiful than ever. Many non-participating citizens are getting interested to participate in implementing urban farming programs in their own homes. Residents who have implemented the program no longer buy some types of vegetables to market. Problems that arise in this activity are rat pests and children activity around the environment.

Derivation of the Variants of the Burgers Model Using a Thermodynamic Approach and Appealing to the Concept of Evolving Natural Configurations

Viscoelastic rate-type fluid models involving the stress and frame-indifferent time derivatives of second order, like those in Burgers’ model, are used to describe the complicated response of fluid like materials that are endowed with a complex microstructure that allows them to possess two different relaxation mechanisms as well as other non-Newtonian characteristics. Such models are used in geomechanics, biomechanics, chemical engineering and material sciences. We show how to develop such rate-type fluid models that include the classical Burgers’ model as well as variants of Burgers’ model, using a thermodynamic approach based on constitutive assumptions for two scalar quantities (namely, how the material stores energy and how the energy is dissipated) and appealing to the concept of natural configuration associated with the placement of the body that evolves as the body deforms.

Dividing Intuition, Organizing Attention

Picking up from the discussion of credentials and intuition, we look more closely at the divisions and collusions of phatic and communicative labor that structure bureaucratic forms of encounter. These structures render specific moments that seem to isolate pairs of communicants as if a given contact pair were the natural configuration, the only one upon which to model all communication. In fact, most communication involves multiple parties, is multiply embedded, crosses multiple circles of attention, and sends out chains of multiple interpretants (like the cover of this book). The trick to the dyadic illusion is to distract from all the other, ongoing communications or channels, as well as from the work that has made such a moment of contact possible or necessary. The dyad who makes contact across a border or a frame. Such dyad/frame configurations, infused with repetitions of signs and qualia that signal not only paranoia but also the virtues of scientific transcendence or artistic spiritualty, still rules as a metaphor for all communication.

EXISTENCE RESULTS FOR A POLYMER MELT WITH AN EVOLVING NATURAL CONFIGURATION

We consider a set of equations governing the behavior of a polymer melt which is modeled as a viscoelastic fluid possessing a natural, or stress-free state. The natural configuration is characterized through a symmetric, proper orthogonal intermediate deformation tensor, analogous to the left Cauchy–Green deformation tensor in continuum mechanics. This tensor is required to satisfy an evolution equation. It is shown that the constraint that the intermediate tensor be proper orthogonal is satisfied provided that its initial value satisfies this constraint. Local existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial boundary value problem of the resulting viscoelastic fluid system are established. It is also shown that the local solutions can be extended globally provided that the data are small enough.
