Students' Attitudes towards Memes in Writing Report Text

The objective of this study is to investigate how students' attitudes in writing report texts by using meme media as well as the reasons that led to certain attitudes that occurred. The research design used was descriptive qualitative. The participants in this study were 32 students of the class IX superior of SMP 1 Muhammadiyah Medan who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. There are two ways of data collection techniques used, there are questionnaires and interviews. While the data measurement scale used is Likert scale. The results showed that students' attitudes were positive towards the use of meme media in writing report texts. As for what causes students' positive attitudes, they feel happy, entertained, comfortable, and increase their interest in learning to write report texts. Most students are active consumers of popular culture, and memes are often part of popular culture. Therefore, the use of memes in learning to write helps students feel more connected to the learning material as it utilises cultural elements that are familiar to them. The results of this study shows that memes are effectively used to boost students' attitude in writing report texts. The researcher recommend teachers choose memes that are suitable for learning in order to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning atmosphere.

Animal Minds in the Media: Learning Outcomes for a Critical-Analysis Assignment for Students of Comparative Cognition

Students of comparative cognition must learn to read and evaluate scholarly writings such as journal articles and textbooks, and to think critically about information they hear from talks and lectures from experts in the field. They also must develop a healthy skepticism for popular-media portrayals of the mental and behavioral competencies of animals, whether those appear in serious formats such as documentaries and non-refereed popular science magazines or blogs, or even in media portrayals of animals that are intended purely for entertainment. Across a ten-year period, students in either a senior psychology course or a freshman honors seminar completed multiple assignments each semester called “Animal Minds in the Media” requiring identification and evaluation of popular media portrayals of the cognitive capabilities of animals, viewed through the lens of the comparative-psychology literature. The assignment was designed to motivate students to cultivate scientific skepticism and develop a “comparative psychologist’s way of seeing the world” by identifying implications or assumptions of popular-media treatment of animals and by bringing scientific literature to bear on the question of whether animals can actually think in the way implied by the commercial, comic, film, meme, or other media example.

Implementation Interactive Media and Characterized Meme Media: A Comparation Study

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of interactive media and characterized meme media on the student learning. This study applied experimental research method which used simple random sampling technique. The participants of the study consisted of two group as group A amount twenty-nine students and group B amount twenty-eight students. Each group had a different treatment, for the group a was treated by implementing interactive media, while group B was treated by implementing characterized memes media. Data analysis applied hypothesis testing of paired sample t-test and obtained that both of implementing of interactive media, and implementing characterized memes media, probability value .00 was less than alpha value, .05, which means the media provide impact to the student learning. Data analysis applied hypothesis testing of independent sample t-test and obtained p, .972 was greater than alpha value, .05. Thus, there was no difference between student learning achievement taught by using interactive media and characterized memes media. However, in accordance with effective criteria, it was presented that interactive learning media is more effective than characterized memes media. The percentage of classical completeness of students who were taught by using interactive learning media enhanced to 89.12 percent, while using characterize memes learning media reach 60.41 that not reached the classical completeness. In addition, in terms of appropriate student learning activity in the classroom using interactive media reached 90.12 percent, while in memes characterized media class character merely 66.65 percent.

WACANA HUMOR DALAM MEME DI MEDIA ONLINE SEBAGAI POTRET KEHIDUPAN SEBAGIAN MASYARAKAT INDONESIA

AbstractThis study aims to describe themes and topics, implicatures, and language aspects in humor discourse in memes in online media. The study employed the descriptive researchdesign. The data sources were 70 memes in four sites of online meme media, i.e. www.memecomicindo.com,www.indomeme.com, www.memecomic.id, and www.1cak.com.The results of the study are as follows. First, there are four meme themes in online media;they are social, political, legal, and religious themes. Second, there are three implicatures inmemes in online media, namely insinuation, suggestion, and the combination of insinuationand suggestion. Third, there are two language aspects that support implicatures and resultin humor in memes, namely the phonological and semantic aspects. The phonologicalaspect includes the repetition of sounds which in literature is often called a rhyme. Thesemantic aspect comprises the repetition of words and the use of similes, metaphors,hyperboles, personifications, syllogisms, abbreviations, and proverbs.Keywords: themes, topics, implicatures, language aspects, memes

PadSpace: A new framework for the service federation of web resources

End-users need a simple and interactive tool for service composition development. A PadSpace proposes an extension of a typical Linda-like coordination model (tuplespace) to provide mechanisms for the interoperation among Web applications, Web services and end-users' local functional resources. First, a PadSpace provides an end-user supporting tool for composing Web applications, Web services, and local visual resources based on the meme media architecture without writing any program codes. It enables end-users to directly manipulate visual components, and to create new composite components for the creation of services that use Web applications, Web services, and local functional resources. Second, a PadSpace provides a spreadsheet-based service-coordination tool for end-users to orchestrate multiple Web applications, Web services, and local functional resources. Finally, we show some new applications of service composition and service orchestration.

A theory of data-intensive software services

We introduce Abstract State Services (AS2s) as an abstraction of data-intensive services that can be made available for use by other systems, e.g. via the web. An AS2 combines a hidden database layer with an operation-equipped view layer, and can be anything from a simple function to a full-fledged Web Information System or a Data Warehouse. We adopt the fundamental approach of Abstract State Machines to model AS2s and show that AS2s capture the fundamentals of approaches such as media types, meme media, SOA and web services excluding presentation issues. Then we show how tailored services can be extracted from available AS2s, combined with other AS2 components and personalised to user preferences.

Meme Media for Clipping and Combining Web Resources

The publication and reuse of intellectual resources using the Web technologies provide no support for us to clip out any portion of Web pages, to combine them together for their local reuse, nor to publish the newly composed object as a new Web page for its reuse by other people. This paper shows how the meme-media architecture is applied to the Web to provide such support for us. This makes the Web work as a shared repository not only for publishing intellectual resources, but also for their collaborative reediting. We will propose a general framework for clipping arbitrary Web contents as live objects, for defining IO ports on such a clip, and for the recombination and linkage of such clips based on both the original and some user-defined relationships among them. In our previous works, we proposed two separate frameworks for these three purposes; one works for the first two, and the other for the last. Here we will propose a unified framework for these three purposes, as well as its detailed internal mechanisms. Then we show how it can be easily applied to various legacy Web applications to develop innovative services.

Meme media architectures for re-editing and redistributing intellectual assets over the Web

While current Web technologies have allowed us to publish intellectual assets in world-wide repositories, and to browse the resulting massive accumulation, we have no effective tools yet to flexibly re-edit and redistribute such intellectual assets for their reuse in different contexts. Open Hypermedia Systems addressed the problem of augmenting third-party applications in 90 s, and more recently Web augmentation. We need extended OHS technologies for the advanced reuse of Web-published intellectual assets through re-editing and redistributing them. Meme media and meme pool technologies will work as such extended Open Hypermedia Systems technologies to annotate, re-edit, and redistribute Web-published assets. This paper reviews the IntelligentPad and IntelligentBox meme media architectures together with their potential applications, and proposes both the use of XML/XSL or XHTML to define two-dimensional meme media objects. When applied to Web contents, meme media technologies make the World Wide Web operate as a meme pool, where people can publish their intellectual assets as Web pages, access some Web pages to extract some of their parts as meme media objects through drag-and-drop operations, visually combine these meme media objects together with other meme media objects to compose new intellectual assets, and publish these assets again as Web pages. Our framework creates a new vista in the circulation and reuse of our knowledge represented as multimedia documents and/or application programs, especially in the field of science.

Development of Nuclear Reaction Data Retrieval System on Meme Media

A newly designed retrieval system of charged particle nuclear reaction data is developed on Meme media architecture. We designed the network-based (client-server) retrieval system. The server system is constructed on a UNIX workstation with a relational database, and the client system is constructed on Microsoft Windows PC using an IntelligentPad software package. The IntelligentPad is currently available as developing Meme media. We will develop the system to realize effective utilization of nuclear reaction data: I. “Re-production, Re-edit, Re-use”, II. “Circulation, Coordination and Evolution”, III. “Knowledge discovery”.

IntelligentPad as meme media and its application to multimedia databases

Computers as meta media are now evolving from augmentation media vehicles to meme media vehicles. While an augmentation media system provides individuals, groups or organizations with a seamlessly integrated environment of various tools and documents, meme media system provides communities or societies with further functions to edit, to distribute, and to share tools and documents. Meme media work as memes, i.e. cultural genes. Documents and tools on meme media can easily replicate themselves, recombine themselves and are naturally selected by their environment, namely the society of their authors and users. Their accumulation in their users' community will form a meme pool, which will bring rapid evolution of documents and tools. The IntelligentPad architecture provides a standard framework called a pad that works as a meme medium. When applied to multimedia databases, it will allow us to manage not only articulated objects but also non-articulated objects in a generic manner.
