IMPLEMENTASI PENINGKATAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN SKI MELALUI MEDIA AUDIO VISUAL DI MAN 5 GENUKWATU NGORO JOMBANG

Varying media as a device or strategy that can be used by an educator in developing learning experiences. This media is centered on sound and images. Teachers use this media with the aim of increasing students' interest and enthusiasm for learning. Audiovisual media can attract students' interest, especially if used in SKI subjects that relate to history and past events in practice. By using this media students can minimize boredom. Therefore, educational institutions and teachers must strive to utilize this media in the learning process. Researchers determined 3 research focuses, including: 1). What is the form of audio visual media at MAN 5 Genukwatu Ngoro Jombang, 2). How to implement audio visual media to motivate student learning in SKI subjects at MAN 5 Genukwatu Ngoro Jombang, 3). What are the supporting and inhibiting factors in the use of audio-visual media in the SKI class XI MIPA 1 subject at MAN 5 Genukwatu Ngoro Jombang. In line with the title of the research, the researcher applied a case study type of research with a qualitative approach in his research. Researchers collect the necessary data through field observations, interviews with related sources, and evidence that supports the validity of the data through data documentation if necessary. Researchers achieved the following research results: 1). Class XI MIPA 1 SKI learning activities are held once a week on Mondays for 2 hours (90 minutes). When SKI lessons in class XI MIPA 1 use media or learning tools in the form of audio visuals. LCDs, projectors and speakers are often used as media. 2). By using audiovisual media, we can make students more interested in the programs being broadcast, such as films, pictures, PPT designs, etc. By showing films that are specifically related to the material being discussed, students can eliminate boredom. 3). Supporting factors for the use of audiovisual media in learning activities, first, teacher training in the use of learning media carried out by madrasa heads. The second factor is the availability of the necessary facilities. The first inhibiting factor is that there are no computers available in each class so that teachers can easily use the learning media. The second factor, if there is a clash of voices from other classes, can interfere with the explanation of the video being shown.

Subjective and objective quality evaluation of UGC video after encoding and decoding

The development of the Internet and new media technology has given rise to various forms of media to meet users’ usage needs and expectations. User-Generated-Content (UGC) videos have become a way for users to maximize their participation and express themselves. A large number of UGC videos are uploaded every day on platforms such as Tiktok, Kwai, and Station B. However, the quality of UGC videos is also mixed, with videos with poor image quality providing viewers with a lower user experience. Media service providers need to compress videos uploaded by users to reduce transmission bit rates. How to evaluate the quality of compressed UGC videos is crucial for selecting an appropriate bit rate. In this paper, we have established a UGC database called UGC-New. Concretely, 405 UGC source videos are collected from major video platforms and we encoded the original video using H.264 and H.265 to obtain 2430 distorted videos, resulting in a total of 2835 videos in the dataset. We conducted a subjective human study on this database and obtained 56700 human quality ratings recorded by 100 subjects. At the same time, we also tested a series of VQA models on the dataset for objective analysis and evaluation, including a new one, called New-VQA.

FACIAL ANIMATION AND EMPATHY IN THE<i> LAST OF US PARTS I AND II</i>

For more than a decade the videogame studio Naughty Dog has deployed increasingly sophisticated facial animations, greatly expanding its characters’ abilities to convey realistic and compelling emotion. In a parallel effort, the studio has remediated cinematic forms like the closeup, integrating them with the unique affordances of videoludic media. Naughty Dog’s 2020 The Last of Us Part II takes this a step further, making characters’ faces a vital aspect of the game’s interface: the dynamically changing emotional expression of 25 in-game characters offers fine-grained feedback regarding player choices and actions, and it also encourages players to engage with the characters less like tools or targets and more like autonomous human beings. Through a close study of a single game character, Ellie Williams, my article illuminates the narrative and gameplay impact of this merger of face and interface. Ellie began The Last of Us Part I (2013) as a non-player character (NPC) and, in some ways, an archetypal “damsel in distress,” but she evolved to become a fan favourite as well as the sequel’s protagonist and principal player-character (PC). Along the way, Ellie also became something of a feminist icon: she is a queer young woman who wears practical clothing, a character very different than the stereotypical heroes that dominated previous videogame generations. The success of the games and their central character, I argue, turns on their ability to encourage emotional connections, sometimes called empathy, inviting players to engage with videogame characters in ways that parallel their responses to characters in older media forms.

Making Memory: Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland

This is a study of how collective memory forms out of traumatic experience. It addresses questions about the formation of collective identity out of individual trauma, and, in turn, how individual and collective trauma intertwine. This process of memory formation is illustrated through the example of an incident that took place in Northern Ireland on 30 January 1972, an event that came to be known as Bloody Sunday. A lawyer representing the families of the victims once succinctly described it as a ‘mass murder perpetrated before the world’s media [. . . which] took place over a period of ten to twelve minutes, within a geographical space not much bigger than two football pitches’. To explain how this ‘ten to twelve’ minutes became a powerful symbol of the excesses of state violence and a memory forever linked to Ireland’s history I apply the theory of cultural trauma. Previous research has identified several arenas of memory, ‘social spaces where different narratives of collective memory interact [. . .] distinct discourses that are tied to specific individuals, organizations, and institutions that advocate specific narratives through specific forms of media’. Four areas were identified, the political, the academic, the artistic, and the community. Along with the theory of cultural trauma, I apply that framework in analyzing the memory and memorialization of Bloody Sunday.

Clinical and hematological characteristics of complicated and intact otitis media

Purpose: to evaluate clinical and hematological features and identify patterns in hematological indices in patients with complicated and uncomplicated forms of otitis media.
 Materials and methods: The study included 30 patients with otitis media aged from 18 to 70 years: 24 patients (80%) had an uncomplicated course, 6 (20%) had a complicated course (cholesteatomas, mastoiditis). The diagnosis was established taking into account the clinical recommendations of the Russian Ministry of Health (2022) on the basis of a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination, otoscopy, and audiological studies.
 Clinical, anamnestic and statistical methods were used. Calculation of hematological indices was carried out using a computer program. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistica 10 package. The critical level of statistical significance when testing scientific hypotheses was p 0.05.
 Results and conclusions. In the group of patients with complicated otitis media, a more vivid clinical picture and more pronounced changes in hematological parameters were observed. Noteworthy are the features of disturbances in the state of immune homeostasis: with complicated otitis, the ISLE indicator increased 3 times more often, which indicates the predominance of an immediate type reaction in the development of complications. The macrophage system index (MSI) was changed in uncomplicated otitis compared to complicated patients, which indicates a violation of cellular phagocytic protection in otitis media. In all cases, a violation of the effector and affector links of immunity (IAM) was revealed, with a predominance of the effector pathway. In 80% of cases of otitis, disturbances in the interaction of humoral and cellular immunity (LI) were observed.
 The multidirectionality of the results obtained requires their further study in order to develop an algorithm for personalized diagnosis of patients with otitis media.

The Effect of Breastfeeding Education Using Leaflet Media on the Knowledge and Attitudes of Pregnant Women

Breast milk (BM) is one of the most important nutrients for baby needs. This is the best baby food for the perfection of growth and development. Increasing the knowledge and attitude of mothers is considered necessary because it contributes to parenting for their children. This research aims to determine the effect of breastfeeding education using leaflet media on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women. The research is a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test with a control group research design conducted in March – April 2023 in the working area of the South Sangatta Health Center, East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 32 samples were involved in random sampling by taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data is analyzed with the Paired-Sample T-test. The research shows the influence of exclusive breastfeeding education using leaflet media on the knowledge of pregnant women (p = 0.000), and the influence of exclusive breastfeeding education using non-leaflet media on the knowledge of pregnant women (p = 0.006). There is an influence of exclusive breastfeeding education using leaflet media on the attitude of pregnant women (p = 0.000), and the influence of exclusive breastfeeding education using non-leaflet media on the attitude of pregnant women (p = 0.006). Education using leaflets is much more effective than non-leaflet education. This finding is empirical evidence that nutrition education in the form of media is encouraged to welcome changes in public perception

Sustainability and the Fashion Media: Micro-Utopia, Social Dreaming and Hope in the Margins

In the current media landscape, communication about sustainable fashion is so pervasive that it risks becoming background noise: a sea of “studium” that fails to “prick” the reader, despite the enormity of the stakes (Barthes 2000). This article asks how we might tell better stories when it comes to sustainability in the fashion media, drawing upon insights from fashion studies and environmental communication. The practices of fashion and dreaming are closely connected but this alliance does not always marry well with discourses on sustainability, which can elicit feelings of “green fatigue”. In light of this, the following article asks how fashion media might be used as a vehicle for social dreaming, rather than consumerist dreaming, in order to make sustainable fashion more desirable. Fashion media is about storytelling and so, too, is utopia, with this article theorizing independent media as a micro-utopian network through which radical narratives can be explored (building on Wood 2007). The focus here is on English-language content produced by independent magazines, not-for-profit organizations and academics. Taken collectively, these marginal forms of media represent a space where social dreaming is already taking place, with reference to discourses on utopia, slow fashion, and green consciousness.

Object Balance: Smartphone-based Media Development

The current transformation of technology and information is very fast, making it easier to create media. Physics concepts that are known to be very abstract and difficult can be easily understood by providing a visual representation using a Smartphone so that they can be studied anywhere and anytime. This study aims to determine the feasibility and student responses for the development of physics media on the material of rigid body equilibrium using APP Inventor. The research and development (R&D) method was used. The results of this study were in the form of learning media based on Android (.apk), which contains materials, videos, simulations, examples of problem-solving, and evaluations designed in a way as to attract students’ interest in learning scales and making it easier to understand the concept of rigid bodies.
 Keywords: object balance, smartphone, media development

The linear multiform: a cognitive model for E-Fiction

ABSTRACT This article applies a cognitive narratological approach to Janet Murray’s conception of the “multiform” digital text that allows a user to experience multiple versions or alternative outcomes of a story. I argue from a psychologically-grounded position that branching narratives are fundamentally dissatisfying due to completionism, the onus of choice and diffusion of inherent stakes. With reference to two of my own texts, AMNESIAC (2021) and Mutiny on the Batavia (2022), I describe a version of the multiform story that makes use of a labile digital text-space while preserving the teleology of a linear narrative, and which speaks to the essential human experience of a unique, individual existence over time. Digital texts, I also argue, can dramatise both the arbitrary and contingent mental constructions of reality and the determinist nature of media forms. An increasingly immersive mediated existence means that experimental narratives in particular must fulfil our prior expectations of meaningful stories while also using the allowances of unbound narrative to keep written stories innovative, interesting and to expose their essentially constructed nature.

Analysis on Expressive Illocutionary Act in The Maleficent 2 Movie

Film is a form of mass media that has audio and visual attributes, so that it can attract wider public interest. In this study, what the researcher wants to study and analyze is focused on illocutionary acts, especially in the film The Maleficent 2.

Searle's theory. Based on the results of the study, the authors concluded that the data obtained in the Maleficent 2 film by Linda Woolverton, there are five types of illocutionary speech acts. The types of illocutionary speech acts uttered by the characters in the Maleficent 2 film are 18 assertive speech acts, 17 directive speech acts, 3 commissive speech acts, 14 expressive speech acts, and 9 declarative speech acts. The functions of expressive illocutionary acts used by the characters in Maleficent 2 film are 1 function of thanking, 3 functions of blaming, 1 function of accusing, 4 functions of praising, 3 functions of apologizing and 2 functions of congratulating.

PENGGUNAAN MEDIA POSTER UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN MUFRADĀT DI SD MUHAMMADIYAH 1 SEDATI

<em>In Arabic language learning, the media used only focuses on books and is not diverse, which makes students less motivated to learn Arabic and less able to understand it, especially in understanding Arabic mufrodat in class. The learning media used by researchers as a strategy to overcome the problem of low understanding among students is poster media. This study aims to determine whether there is an increase or not related to the understanding of mufrodat in the use of poster media before and after being used in the classroom in Arabic language learning. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with non-experimental designs. In this study obtained the results of the average value of pretest students 41.19 and the average value of posttest 81.83. In comparison to the average value of students, it can be seen that after being given treatment in the form of poster media, the value has increased by 40.64. The results of the paired sample test calculation using a 95% confidence level show that with a 2-tailed Sig value of 0.000 <0.05, there is a difference in pretest and posttest scores. Through these results and the value of the -t count < -t table with df = (n-1) of 62 (-36.007 < -1.998), it can be concluded that Ho is rejected, the accepted hypothesis is (Ha), and it can be concluded that "the use of poster media can improve the understanding of mufrodat of fifth grade students of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Sedati</em><em>.”</em>

LSB-2 Steganography with Brotli Compression and base64 Encoding for Improving Data Embedding Capacity

Steganography functions as a technique for embedding messages or data in various forms of media, such as images, audio, video, or text, with the aim of avoiding detection by unauthorized parties. Steganography techniques can be used as a solution to hide and protect data. In this research, steganography will be carried out using images as the transmission object. This research was conducted to offer a modification of the Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography technique using the LSB-2 method with Brotli compression and base64 encoding. Modification and use of Brotli compression and base64 coding aims to increase the message capacity that can be embedded in a transmission object while maintaining the quality of the transmission object. Experiments using small data and big data. The experimental results will be presented in tabular form by comparing the original image with the steganographically processed image using metrics such as Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) as a comparison. The experiments carried out resulted in an increase in image capacity by reducing capacity usage with an average of 47.13% for small data and an average of 71.34%. The big data experiment resulted in an increase in the PSNR value of around 3.49%, accompanied by a decrease in the average MSE value of 33.85%, and a constant SSIM value of 0.9999, thus proving that the proposed method was successful in increasing image capacity and improving stego-image quality. when embedding big data.

Stunting is a health disorder that affects the growth and development of children caused by chronic nutrition and impacts cognitive and motor development. Other factors, such as the social and economic environment, can cause stunting. Medan City also has many stunting cases, which is caused by a lack of public understanding of the phenomenon. This research used a descriptive qualitative research method with a literature review approach. Data collection techniques through secondary data in the form of previous research, online media, and journals. Data analysis techniques using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the efforts made by the Medan City government, such as nutritional interventions to conduct socialization in the community, still need to be improved. This is due to cultural perceptions that stunting is not a severe disease but is caused by several factors, such as genetics, misconceptions, and religion.

MITOS DALAM KAMPANYE POLITIK

One form of audio-visual mass media that is capable of conveying information effectively is a film, both in the form of fiction and documentary. Mass art, especially film, can bring a picture of the contemporary world to the public at large, increase political awareness, encourage world surveillance, and bring social critical images. Through film, directors can convey messages and raise a phenomenon that occurs in society. Roland Barthes's semiotic analysis is very relevant to use in studying a film because a film consists of various interrelated signs. The signs include various sign systems that work together to achieve the desired effect. In Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, the film has a meaning consisting of a signifier and a signified. The research method used is qualitative with primary data sources from the film Our Brand Is Crisis. Researchers used data collection techniques through observation and documentation. Roland Barthes' Semiotic Analysis in this study is used to interpret the meaning of the signs in the film, which consists of five stages: identifying signs, analyzing denotative and connotative meanings, determining social, cultural, and historical contexts, and analyzing the myths contained in signs. the. The goal is to understand and express meaning in film and how the social and cultural context shapes it.

FOSTERING DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE: THE ROLE OF FOLK MEDIA AND LITERATURE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Folk media and literature have immense potential to contribute to the development process in the current world, especially in preserving cultural values, education, and the power of people. This paper aims to expand and discuss the traditional forms of media and their relevance within the culture and modern society and their relevance in the contemporary world especially within the digital realm. Thus, as part of this research, the results of a literature review, surveys, interviews, and case studies are used to evaluate how these traditional forms of expression have become part of digital media for the enhancement of socio-economic development. The study used a survey of 200 respondents from different areas of Andhra Pradesh State in India plus interviews with various stakeholders from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, Visakhapatnam, Alluri Sitaram Raju, and Anakapalli districts. The findings highlight the dual benefits of digital transformation: expanding the accessibility of folk media and literature, as well as promoting cultural continuity and emergency capacity in related communities. The research findings from the case studies of Andhra Pradesh concerning digital storytelling, online archiving, and social networking site trailblazers indicate the effective strategies of share-simple and community engagement on one side and cultural heritage on the other side. The findings of the study show that adversaries of folk media not only expand their audience but also facilitate cultural participation by the communities. This research therefore emphasizes the need for collective responsibility to ensure that all cultures are preserved and facilitated through the digital transition to avoid a technological divide.

Desire and Delusion: Fetish of Brazilian Favela in Videogame (Mis)representation

Video games have emerged as one of the most ubiquitous forms of media globally, exerting a considerable influence on our perceptions of other cultures. However, contemporary video games have perpetuated negative stereotypes about Brazilian favelas and their residents, prioritizing aesthetics and themes that fetishize poverty, precarity, and violence. This essay critically examines the (mis)representations of Brazilian favelas in video games, exploring their far-reaching implications for global perceptions of favelas and their residents, and their role in perpetuating negative stereotypes.
