MANAJEMEN METADATA ARSIP AUDIO DENGAN APLIKASI SEDERHANA PERKANTORAN PADA MUSEUM MUSIK INDONESIA

Metadata provides the necessary context to understand and organize systems, data, and content management. Thus the metadata in the archive has a fairly important role, with the existence of archive metadata it will facilitate the management of archives, both static archives or dynamic archives. At the Indonesian Music Museum in Malang City, there are various collections of audio archives from all over Indonesia which are static archives that need to be preserved for their authenticity and physicality as they are part of Indonesia's cultural heritage. The archive collection is divided into various forms, namely in the form of tape cassettes, CDs, and LPs. This study aims to describe the needs of metadata management within the scope of electronic records management. Metadata management is compiled by recording a collection of audio archives on tape cassettes for the pop song category at the Indonesian Music Museum. The metadata management development approach uses a simple office application with Microsoft Access media, so that the audio archive metadata in the Indonesian Music Museum can be digitally compiled. Of course, this can facilitate audio archive retrieval activities and their maintenance.

Application Of E-Government In Welcoming The Era Of Contemporary Industrial Revolution 4.0 In Indonesia

This research aims to find out and examine the application of e-government in welcoming the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 which has recently been very influential in aspects of life in Indonesia. This is very interesting to study because during this transition period all countries and especially Indonesia have implemented the role of industry 4.0 in government components. The research method used in this research uses a type of normative legal research, with the research approaches used being a statutory approach and a case approach. The results of the first research analysis show that the development of the e-government system in Indonesia has begun to increase in quantity, but in terms of quality it is still inadequate because the implementation of e-government has not been evenly distributed throughout the region and it still only functions as a provider of static information. Second, there are fundamental obstacles in the implementation of e-government. -government in the industrial revolution 4.0 is at the regional government level, including; the initiative and meaning of e-government implementation by autonomous regional governments is still individual; implementation via the regional website is not yet supported by an effective management system and work processes due to the readiness of regulations, procedures and limited human resources; Many local governments identify the implementation of e-government as simply creating a local government website (web presence). Third, the projection of e-government in the future, whether the industrial revolution 4.0 is still ongoing or in the future after undergoing regeneration, must have the best formulation, including: ( 1) Good legal regulatory order and legal protection. (2) The government is proclaiming education, especially in the IT sector, as the formation of qualified human resources from now on. (3) Adequate infrastructure and availability of access media. (4) Formation of good character and work ethic for human resources for government officials. (5) Changing the mindset of the apparatus to become a disruptive mindset of the apparatus in Indonesia. (6) The industrial revolution 4.0 is based on a mental revolution. (7) Creating reliable Intrepreneurial Leadership. (8) Strengthening religious education.

Narrating Digital Access, Trauma, and Disability Through Comics and Image Description in Denmark

ABSTRACT Anthropologists explore sequential art, particularly comics, as an accessible medium to co-produce knowledge about trauma and disability with research collaborators. However, practices of image description developed by blind scholars and artists need to be integrated into these projects to ensure visual studies are accessible. Collaborating with sighted service users of drop-in centers in Denmark, we reflect on the process of creating comics and image descriptions about their experiences with digital access, trauma, and disability. By analyzing insights from both drawing and describing images, we propose this method in medical anthropology as one way to build research collaborations that embrace disability expertise.

Performance Analysis of Connection Establishment Procedure Under Beamforming in 5G NR Networks

High demand for reliability, low latency, seamless connectivity lead to the 5 G era. 5 G cellular networks employ a random access based preamble transmission procedure for the initial locking of User Equipment (UEs) to a base station (gNB) and uplink resource scheduling. It is of utmost importance that we evaluate the factors that aid and those that limit the random access procedure in achieving its envisaged goal. In this paper, we develop an analytical model for random access procedure for connection establishment in 5 G when beamforming is employed. The random access medium is modelled as a multi-channel slotted Aloha system. We use an equilibrium point analysis framework to derive the performance metrics namely, the rate at which UEs can lock on to a gNB and the average and variance of the time taken by a new UE to establish connection with the base station. We analyse the impact of the retransmission limit and the number of available preambles for random access on the performance of connection establishment of a UE. Our analysis brings out the importance of the choice of base station configurations with respect to the user demographics of a 5 G NR cell.

Inclusivity and diversity in ‘Actual Play’: Studying The Adventure Zone

‘Actual Play’ is a growing form of play spectatorship which involves the recording and broadcast of tabletop gaming sessions. It has spawned bestselling comics, live shows and television adaptations. Unlike ‘Let’s Play’ videos on YouTube or game livestreaming on platforms like Twitch, there has been little in the way of critical analysis of this new media form. This article therefore aims to understand its audience(s) through qualitative and quantitative content analysis of survey responses from the fan communities of one of the most popular Actual Play shows, The Adventure Zone. We focus on the relationship between Actual Play’s attempts at creating more accessible and inclusive media that welcome all types of people and the more exclusionary, highly gendered aspects of the broader gaming community. These enquiries also serve as a case study for Actual Play as a less-examined area of both play spectatorship and gaming content creation, and points towards potential future study in these areas. This article analyses Actual Play podcast The Adventure Zone to highlight the under-explored dynamics of fan audiences in this area of gaming content creation. Topics covered include audience reception of the creators, engagement with issues of diversity and Actual Play as a tabletop roleplaying game gateway.

Examining Social Media Policy and Records Management in Massachusetts Municipal Governments

ABSTRACTThis paper reports on an exploratory analysis of the social media policies of municipal governments in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With a strong Public Records law and language clearly indicating that social media posts are government records, Massachusetts provides a framing for research into municipal policy on social media use, retention, preservation, and access. Of the 351 municipalities in the Commonwealth, just 87 have publicly accessible Social Media policies. These policies indicate that municipal governments take their responsibilities around social media records management seriously, they do not offer many specifics around how they will engage directly with posts from privately‐owned social media platforms. Implications of these findings suggest that the digital preservation community must continue to develop tools and methods to preserve social media records the support broader efforts around government transparency and accountability, as well as advocate for platforms to include features to support responsible public sector social media use.

The Role of Social Media in Propagating the Religious' Popular Narratives and Radicalization

This research work is about the use of social media by different militant organizations to radicalize people and propagate different religious popular narratives, which are circulating in our society via social media. Social media has lowered the entry barrier of radicalism through different mediums of social media, which are used intentionally by different militant organizations and groups. Social media is a very strong and convincing medium in this technological era most people have internet access and use social media widely. In this paper different platforms of social media are discussed one by one, and how radical groups use these sources of social media to get the moral and financial support of the people, making them radical in their thoughts and extreme in their actions.

Changes and trends based on perceived lifestyles reflected in movies

The impact of movies on society has been studied by researchers and film professionals for decades. However, less attention is focused specifically on changes and trends regarding perceived lifestyles reflected in movies. This paper aims to collect and examine the various trends that have emerged as a social impact of lifestyles through their portrayal in movies (and in some cases, television shows, that are becoming more and more prevalent form of entertainment). As Movies are universally accessible and popular media, they have the potential to influence the values, lifestyles and attitudes of consumers. The relevance and importance are further enhanced by the fact that through the cultural consumption they aid us in familiarizing, understanding and processing the social changes, new lifestyles and current problems. The logical structure of this paper follows the trends as major themes and their emergence in movies. The themes examined – mainly through the systemization and analysis of literary sources and approaches – were health awareness, addictions (tobacco products, alcohol and narcotic drugs in particular), environmental awareness and sustainability, privacy and relationships (through the representation of men and women in various lifecycle stages and the young adults’ perception of sex), and the geek subculture. The research scope of the paper focuses on the western movie releases of the past years, mainly of the United States of America, because they represent the greatest global influence and reach of the movie industry – with constant releases and popularity all over the world. The results of the paper showed that these aforementioned themes reflected in movies have the capacity impact individuals’ values, lifestyles and attitudes. Furthermore, the paper will be useful for any researcher who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of the non-advertisement based – as in not product placement, merchandising or other forms of advertisement in the immediate environment of movies – marketing content that has an impact through popular movies on society and consumer behavior.

Transcending prison walls: Prison podcasts, the listening experience, and narrative change

Prison stories play an important role in people’s understanding of incarceration with the underlying messages often supporting it as an effective solution for the crime problem. While core elements flow between most types of prison representations, advances in media technology present new ways of constructing these stories, making it easier for those who have experienced incarceration to control the message. Podcasting is one such development. This easily accessible medium is able to present a unique listening experience that has been found to induce empathy, strengthen the connection to the subject, and has the potential to contribute to changes in attitudes. This article compares two incarceration narrative podcasts, Ear Hustle and Red Onion Randy—Life in a Supermax, to demonstrate the potential power of this intimate form of media. Drawing from transportation theory, as well as literature on literary journalism and auditory storytelling, it considers how podcasting can be utilized to create a lived or felt experience for listeners that has the potential to begin to shift popular incarceration narratives.

Refugee Journalist Phenomenon as a Consequence of Migration and Refugee Crises: The Role of Social Media in Transferring Refugees’ Role from “Has Been Affected” to “Has Affected”

This study examines the impact of using social media by Syrian refugees, focusing on the shift from receiving messages to sharing content and news related to the Syrian crisis. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the findings indicate that social media has become a more accessible and affordable medium of communication for Syrian refugees, both during and after seeking refuge. The study highlights the transformation of Syrian citizens from citizens who are not allowed to use the internet and social media to "refugee journalists" by being affected by social media. Social media use among Syrian activists or Syrian refugee journalists has contributed to the emergence of the "refugee journalist" phenomenon, which helps convey opinions, voices, and suffering to the world. However, the findings also highlight the negative effects of the "refugee journalist" phenomenon on Syrian refugees, citizens, and activists. The findings also indicate the potential moral violations and lack of integrity and reliability standards in the publishing of activists' stories, leading to distortion of facts and misleading audiences.

The Use of Digital Storytelling to Stimulate Learners’ Listening Comprehension

This study was conducted to investigate the teacher’s ways of teaching digital storytelling to improve learners’ listening comprehension and find out learners’ responses to the use of digital storytelling to stimulate their listening comprehension. The research method employed in this study was a qualitative method with a case study approach. An English teacher and eleventh-grade students at one of the senior high schools in Ciamis took part as the participants. The data were obtained from classroom observation, structured interviews, and questionnaires. The validity data was proceeded by the triangulation method. The finding revealed that the teacher in fact used top-down and bottom-up strategy in teaching listening using digital storytelling. In addition, in teaching and learning process of listening, the teacher used digital storytelling media as an activity that enables students understand what the speaker’ speech from the video, develops student motivation, and improves students' listening skills. This strategy gave students better understanding of a certain topic of listening. Furthermore, the students considered the teaching-learning process of listening through digital storytelling as an activity that makes students understand the speaker speech about in the video. Thus, the use of digital storytelling in learning makes learning joyful because of the ease of use and availability of facilities. The researcher recommended free and easily accessible digital media such as interesting digital storytelling to be practiced in classroom learning.

"Memories of a Forgotten War" and Their Contemporary (Dark) Tourism Implications: An Istrian Media Perspective

Employing a sociological discourse analysis of media reports, this study aims to identify and typologise World War I-related memorial events in the cross-border region of Istria, which is traditionally heavily involved in international tourist flows in Slovenia and Croatia. The theory of memory, social amnesia, and dark tourism are thus intertwined. A corpus of 15 anniversary-related (and all accessible) media reports from three leading regional news media outlets was included in the analysis, which negates the complete social amnesia of war; they were typologised as memorial services or dark exhibitions. We found that memorial events are also related to sport/recreation (diving) and meetings of scholars (conferences, round tables, presentation of the book), which resulted in a revised typology of memorial events. The analysed events scattered throughout the peninsula have limited tourist significance and also reflect the Istrian social reality, specifically multiculturalism and transcultural memory. The paper concludes with an overview of the scholarly and practical implications and limitations of the approach used.

The Reading of Art in Virtual Reality in the Postmodern Period

Postmodernism, a mid-20th-century cultural movement reacting against modernism, challenges grand narratives and absolute truth, emphasising fragmentation. Virtual Reality (VR), simulating real or alternative experiences, has become an accessible artistic medium. Postmodern art in VR is self-referential and interactive, exploring reality-simulation dynamics. Artists like Gibson/Martelli's "The History of the Future" transport users to a dystopian future, emphasising activism and choice. Jacolby Satterwhite employs VR for performance, blurring virtual and real through digital sculptures and live presentations. VR in postmodern art prompts questions about reality and viewer-artwork relationships. As users immerse in virtual environments, the line between reality and simulation blurs, challenging traditional ideas of authorship and interpretation. Multiple perspectives emerge, aligning with a postmodern emphasis on plurality. The abstract concludes by asserting VR's role as a platform for postmodern exploration, enabling new forms of expression and interaction, and pushing artistic boundaries.

Evaluation of restricted access media for the purification of cell culture-derived Orf viruses.

Recently, multimodal chromatography using restricted access media (RAM) for the purification of nanoparticles, such as viruses has regained increasing attention. These chromatography resins combine size exclusion on the particle shell and adsorptive interaction within the core. Accordingly, smaller process-related impurities, for example, DNA and proteins, can be retained, while larger product viruses can pass unhindered. We evaluated a range of currently available RAM, differing in the shells' pore cut-off and the core chemistry, for the purification of a cell culture-derived clarified model virus, namely the Orf virus (ORFV). We examined impurity depletion and product recovery as relevant criteria for the evaluation of column performance, as well as scale-up robustness and regeneration potential for evaluating a multiple use application. The results indicate that some columns, for example, the Capto Core, enable both a high DNA and protein removal, while others, for example, the Monomix Core 60 (MC60), are more suitable for DNA depletion. Furthermore, column regeneration is facilitated by using columns with larger shell pores (5000vs. 700kDa) and weaker binding interactions (anion exchange vs. multimodal). According to these findings, the choice of RAM resins should be selected according to the respective feed sample composition and the planned number of application cycles.

An Interface Setup Optimization Method Using a Throughput Estimation Model for Concurrently Communicating Access Points in a Wireless Local Area Network.

The IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area network (WLAN) has been deployed around the globe as a major Internet access medium due to its low cost and high flexibility and capacity. Unfortunately, dense wireless networks can suffer from poor performance due to high levels of radio interference resulting from adjoining access points (APs). To address this problem, we studied the AP transmission power optimization method, which selects the maximum or minimum power supplied to each AP so that the average signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) among the concurrently communicating APs is maximized.However, this method requires measurements of receiving signal strength (RSS) under all the possible combinations of powers. It may need intolerable loads and time as the number of APs increases. It also only considers the use of channel bonding (CB), although non-CB sometimes achieves higher performance under high levels of interference. In this paper, we present an AP interface setup optimization method using the throughput estimation model for concurrently communicating APs. The proposed method selects CB or non-CB in addition to the maximum or minimum power for each AP. This model approach avoids expensive costs of RSS measurements under a number of combinations. To estimate the RSS at an AP from another AP or a host, the model needs the distance and the obstacles between them, such as walls. Then, by calculating the estimated RSS with the model and calculating the SIR from them, the AP interface setups for a lot of APs in a large-scale wireless network can be optimized on a computer in a very short time. For evaluation, we conducted extensive experiments using Raspberry Pi for APs and Linux PCs for hosts under 12 network topologies in three buildings at Okayama University, Japan, and Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University, Bangladesh. The results confirm that the proposed method selects the best AP interface setup with the highest total throughput in any topology.

Electronic Tender Advertisement System on Operational Performance of Small & Medium Enterprises in Kenya

The aim of the study was to evaluate how the electronic tender advertisement system affects the the operational performance of SMEs in Kenya. Schumpeter’s theory of entrepreneurship has been applied to ground the study. A descriptive study design was adopted. The target population for the study included 2500 SMEs operating in Murang’a County. The Yamane sample formula was used to determine a sample size of 189 SMEs. Drop and pick method was used in administering questionnaires with a response of 88%. The data collected was cleaned before being processed by use of SPSS version 23. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. R2 of 0.671 postulated that 67.1% of the operational performance of SMEs can be attributed to e-tender advertisement. It was concluded that there is a significant effect between E-tender advertisement and SMEs' operational performance. The study recommended that for easier visibility on upcoming tender contracts, firms should opt advertising tender on the most visited or accessible media platform

Religious Digital Literacy of Students in Indonesia and Malaysia

Advances in information and communication technology are so fast, capable of dynamically changing the order of human life. Everyone is increasingly dependent on technology in every inch of their activities, including in the realm of education. The use of technology products in the form of internet access and social media has been massively used by millions of people in the world. Learning, which initially only focused on meeting in class and relying only on printed books, is now developing with the presence of a new era, namely digital literacy, including in religious learning. This study aims to photograph the implementation of digital literacy, the use of digital religious resources and their impact on learning in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study is a type of qualitative research with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Primary data sources come from research journal articles and books that are in accordance with the theme of the discussion while secondary data is used as explanatory data related to the theme. The data analysis technique uses content analysis. The findings or results of the research are that digital literacy in Indonesia and Malaysia both utilize information and communication technology media that relies on internet access, websites and social media. Problems are still found in the two countries, namely related to equity, where in some regions or regions they have not been able to reach the internet optimally and certainly have not been able to fully implement digital literacy. Digital religious literacy of students in Indonesia and Malaysia is by utilizing interesting and free-access content and materials available on the internet and social media. Access to religious material in digital space by students has proven to be able to increase understanding of the material.

Consumer sentiment toward international activist advertising

Companies have been increasingly conveying activist advertising messages to international audiences in response to persisting social ills and unsustainable business practices. Given the ambiguity surrounding the effects of international advertising, this study aims to compare the response of local consumers to a multinational brand’s standardized activist advertising strategy with creative executions adapted to the national contexts of Greece and the USA. The selected brand originates from the USA. The paper used a systematic qualitative approach and sentiment analysis using Microsoft Excel and Azure Machine Learning add-in. Analysis conducted on 1,051 user comments in January 2023 regarding two publicly accessible social media posts of a multinational haircare brand showed both similarities and differences in consumer responses. 662 comments were in English and 389 comments were in Greek. The study’s dataset was anonymized entirely and de-identified. The results indicate that consumer sentiment was largely negative in both countries. Although the relative share of negative comments was significantly higher in the USA (96.7%) than in Greece (59.4%), both groups of consumers placed their emphasis on the same themes (e.g., children and products). Therefore, they have perceived the main message similarly, irrespective of the execution differences. Overall, the findings can be attributed to strategic and tactical issues of the activist advertising campaign, as well as to sociocultural particularities of the national context. In the case of international advertising, attempts to incorporate the brand’s stance on a controversial sociopolitical issue into its advertising strategy pose significant risks to business organizations.
