A Photonics-Based Superheterodyne RF Reception Approach

A novel photonics-based RF reception approach is proposed as a competitive solution to meet the current challenges of photonics-based approaches and to realize high performances at the same time. The proposed approach adopts the superheterodyne configuration by a combination manner of electronic techniques and photonic techniques, including the ultra-wideband generation of optical LO, the two-stage photonic superheterodyne frequency conversion and the real-time IF compensation. An engineering prototype has been developed and its performance has been evaluated in the laboratory environment. The experiment results preliminarily verify the feasibility of the proposed approach and its engineering potential. The typical performances are as follows: 0.1 GHz ~ 45 GHz operation spectrum range (> 40 GHz), 900 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, 101 dB·Hz2/3 SFDR and 130 dB·Hz LDR, image rejections of ~ 80 dB for 1st frequency conversion and > 90 dB for 2nd frequency conversion.

The Culture of The Following of Melayu Identity in Indonesia

The diversity of ethnic groups makes Indonesia also has a lot of local culture, one of which is folklore. Part of the culture of a society that is spread and traditional in nature which is passed down orally and from generation to generation is also called folklore. Folklore consists of two big words, namely folk and lore. Folk means a group of people who have physical, social, and cultural identifiable characteristics so that they can be distinguished from other groups. This research is a culture-based research that investigates folk culture as the identity of the Malay Archipelago tribes in Indonesia. Folklore or in Indonesian commonly referred to as folklore, is a branch of science that reviews and discusses culture. Folklore consists of two syllables, namely folk and lore. The purpose of this study is to describe Malay folklore as the development of the identity of the Malay community. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with an analysis method (content analysis). This research describes, analyzes, interprets the data. The method of analysis is using the literary reception approach and hermeneutics. The literary reception approach is used to find out how readers respond to Nusantara Malay folklore in Indonesia. The results of the analysis based on folklore (folklore) of the Archipelago in Indonesia, obtained include 1. People who always act and behave correctly always win, 2. People who act and behave in the wrong way will eventually perish, 3. God can make any miracle so that it doesn't happen. nothing is impossible for Him, 4. People who are arrogant, arrogant and have bad intentions will get reinforcements according to their actions. 5. The poor and weak should not be insulted or excluded because by the power of God they can become strong. So it can be concluded that the notion of folklore is a human culture (collectively) which is passed down from generation to generation, both in oral form and in the form of gestures. In Indonesia itself, every region, ethnicity, group, tribe, and religious group of each society has developed its own folklore so that there are various kinds of folklore that exist in Indonesia

Moslem Sculptor (Negotiation of Sculptor at Prumpung Magelang Towards The Doctrine of Sculpting’s Prohibition on Islam)

Normatively, Islamic doctrine prohibits figurative art in the form of sculpture or painting. The prohibition actually comes not from the Koran but from various narrations of the Prophet's hadith. However, it has been transformed into an orthodox doctrine for its adherents. This research does not aim to find the essential meaning of the hadith text which prohibits figurative art, but to find out how the Moslem sculptors, who live at Prumpung Magelang area, respond and negotiate toward it, so in the end they decided to compromise with their profession as a sculptor. Reception theory is used in this study to map the creative reasoning model of Moslem sculptors when negotiating with texts. Through the reception approach, and field data collection through in-depth interviews with several informants consisting of Muslim sculptors at Prumpung Magelang, this research concludes that the existence of the statue, according to the perspective of the Moslem sculptors at Prumpung Magelang is merely works of art so that in existence there are no theological problems.

REPRESENTASI KUASA RAMALAN: PANGERAN DIPENOGORO DAN AKHIR TATANAN LAMA DI JAWA 1785-1855 KARYA PETER CAREY DALAM AKU DIPENOGORO! OLEH LANDUNG SIMATUPANG

Literary works are never separated from previous works or other texts. “Aku Dipenogoro!” is a literary work in the form of a drama script written by Landung Simatupang which was inspired by the power of divination by Peter Carey. The process of forming a literary work based on the acceptance of the past works can be said to be a reception. Therefore, this study used a reception approach to see how far the acceptance of previous works in Aku Dipenogoro!. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. In this case, the researcher compares the texts by looking at the similarities and differences. Furthermore, the findings are described. Based on the results of the analysis conducted by Aku Dipenogoro! as a literary work made several changes from the previous work (Peter Carey's Power of Prediction). These changes are used to give a dramatic effect in the work. Improvisation is used to get certain effects and aesthetics in a work. As a drama script Aku Dipenogoro! refers to dramatic effects in the performing arts (theater).

KOPI DALAM SEJUMLAH RESENSI SASTRA DI KORAN NASIONAL INDONESIA

(Title: Coffee in a Number of Literary Reviews in Indonesian National Newspapers). This study attempts to (1) map the authors of literary work reviews published in the 2016-2018 national newspaper which raise coffee as their theme, and to (2) describe the readers’ responses on the literary works. It is found that there are four reviews which examined some novels namely Ladu, Siti Kewe, Romansa Gayo dan Bordeaux, and a poem collection entitled Secangkir Kopi Sekanak. Reviews of these literary works were published in Republika, Media Indonesia, and Koran Tempo. The current study is a qualitative research using a literary reception approach. Readers’ responses which were investigated in this study include literary work reviews. The result of this study is that the authors, who gave responses to the literary works, were literary enthusiasts and served as permanent writers in the aforementioned media (e.g.Nina Ch. in Republika, M-2 in Media Indonesia) or literary enthusiasts and worked as freelance writers (e.g. Chandra A., Ferdian Ananda Majni). Reviews in the newspaper were considered popular and oriented to providing information on newly-released books. This study also revealed that the readers’ responses discuss coffee in relation to Gayo and Aceh, environmental issues, history, inner conflicts of the search for God, and the nature of coffee as a complement for solving life problems.Keywords: coffee, literary reviews, reception theory

Asymmetry and mutuality: Feminist approaches to receptive ecumenism

Receptive ecumenism is a new current in contemporary ecumenism. By focusing on unilateral learning and by dissociating itself from presuppositions of mutuality, receptive ecumenism inspires rethinking and provokes new thought in the field of ecumenical theology. This article pays special attention to the non-expectation of mutuality in receptive ecumenism and analyses its consequences with regard to asymmetrical relations. The analysis is carried out in consideration of other currents of contemporary ecumenism where mutuality is associated with the struggle for justice and equality. Guided by feminist philosophical and theological insights on negative and positive understandings of asymmetry, the article discusses the nature of receptive ecumenism in view of a wider ecumenical terrain. It explores the underlying understanding of asymmetry in receptive ecumenism. It moreover inquires into the receptive ecumenical approach to mutuality with a view to the roots of this new ecumenical current in spiritual ecumenism and interfaith engagement. Attending to the factors of agency, diversity, and listening, the article identifies challenges to the viability of receptive ecumenism. Simultaneously, it expounds the role of receptive ecumenism in revitalizing ecumenical theological reflection.

Subset MMSE Receivers for Cell-Free Networks

This paper formulates linear MMSE receivers that are both network- and user-centric for the uplink of cell-free wireless networks with centralized processing. Precisely, every user’s reception involves a distinct subset of access points (APs) while every AP participates in the reception of a distinct subset of users, hence the moniker subset MMSE receivers . These subsets, defined on the basis of the large-scale channel gains between users and APs, capture the most relevant signal and interference contributions while disregarding those whose processing is cost-ineffective and whose associated channel estimations would incur unnecessary overheads. With that, subset reception approaches the performance of network-wide MMSE reception, offering a multiple-fold improvement over cellular and matched-filtering counterparts, while being scalable in terms of cost and channel estimation. Moreover, because the subsets overlap considerably, they can sometimes be advantageously combined and the computation of the corresponding receivers can share a hefty amount of processing.

RESEPSI KOMODIFIKASI HALAL PADA IKLAN JILBAB ZOYA

Giving halal certification for many products is a guarantee that products is safe for consumption by a Muslim people. But media tend to using religion value to get a big commodity that profitable for company, or change the using value of religion to economic value. This research is a study about audience of television advertisement with the reception approach. This research is for knowing how are the Solo Hijabers community members meaning to Zoya Hijab advertisement. This research is using a qualitative method. Data analysis that using is Reception by Stuart Hall (encoding-decoding) with using three kind of analysis, dominant hegemonic position, negotiated position, and oppositional position. The result that researcher get is just showing two types, that is hegemonic dominant and negotiation. While the opposite position not happen to Hijabers Solo Community. In this research also found interesting something, although informant nothing have an attitude, meaning, and act the same way. They are still agree of hijab Zoya distribution in the market. Even they want to buy or using that hijab. Without they realize, they agree halal value to the Zoya hijab advertisement is a form of commodification.

The Resonance of Colonial Era Customary Codes in Contemporary Uganda

Colonial era codifications of customary law – especially those codified in indigenous first languages – have a resilient capacity to form and inform living customary law. In the context of Mukono District, Uganda, modern conceptions of customary law are informed and shaped by colonial era codifications promulgated by the British Protectorate and the Kingdom of Buganda. This research insight offers practical benefits to those seeking to promote access to justice and human rights development in Mukono District. Such benefits speak to the potential vitality and relevance of colonial era customary codifications. Misgivings about the alien influences and exploitative purposes that distorted and corrupted colonial era codes do not warrant disregard of their active legacy within modern customary legal frameworks. The use of receptive research approaches such as those developed and modelled by Sally Falk Moore can help ensure the ongoing influence of colonial era codes are not hidden by contemporary orthodoxies and biases.

Gaya Komunikasi Dalam Berita Televisi (Produksi Pesan Pada Program Berita “Pojok Kampung” JTV Dan Penerimaan Pesan Di Kalangan Masyarakat Jawa Timur)

The application of regional languages in the news program Kampung Corner JTV is interesting to serve as a study material, where news program Corner Kampung JTV is using the Java Regional Timuran with a “Suroboyo-an” dialect in the news. The uniqueness of the language of Suroboyo-an, which is the local culture of East Java, is packed in a news theme of crime information and the latest info that became one of the Kampung Corner program in JTV. The purpose of this study for: 1). Describe and analyze the communication style from news program “Kampung Kampung” JTV in text level. 2). Describe and analyze the communication style of production the news program message “Kampung Kampung” JTV in the context level. 3). Describe and analyze the communication style of message reception of news program “Kampung Kampung” JTV among East Java society in context level. Aspect of communication in this study for reveal how communication styles are divided into two between high context communication with low context communication in Kampung JTV Corner program with the theory approach presented by Edward T. Hall (1976). The theory of communication style Edward T. Hall does have a close relationship with intercultural communication, it have relation to the mass media of its assessment with low and context context communication approach high. How the mass media perform their duties as a medium of information, convey information to the community with approaches that are closer and friendlier to the culture adopted by the local community. The approach of the theory of message production uses the theory of the construction of social reality which divides into three concepts, namely Externalization, Objectivation, Internalization which is deliver by Peter L. Berger (1966) and also the approach of message reception which divides the three positions, dominant position, oppositional position and negotiation position delivered by Stuart Hall (1980), they will be used by writers to know the production and reception of messages in mass communication news program “Kampung Kampung” JTV in text and context level.This research uses Qualitative method with single case study approach in Kampung Corner program. The research location is located at Surabaya JTV Office. This research was also conducted in Eastern part of East Java (etan) which is Surabaya City and West Java area of West (Kulon) Ponorogo City. 1) the results of the visual and verbal images of the village corner using low context communication style (low context communication) on the message of the crime theme and the latest news 2). Producing contextlevel messages using the construction of social reality with the concept of Internalization on th message of the crime theme and the latest info happening through the language in everyday life that is packed in news programs corner of the village of JTV.

ACTUALIZATION OF WOMEN’S ROLES IN BERTOLT BRECHT’S AND NANO RIANTIARNO’S PLAYS

A literary work is not an object that stands by itself and offers the same view to each reader in each period, therefore literary works are always actualized and finally achieve a new existence. This study is aimed at describing (1) the actualization of women’s roles in Bertolt Brecht’s and Nano Riantiarno’s plays and (2) Nano Riantiarno’s horizons of expectation. The data sources were Brecht’s play Die Dreigroschenoperand Riantiarno’s play Opera Ikan Asin. The study was reception approach. Data analysis was performed by conducting a comparative analysis of the actualization of the women’s roles in the two plays and historical analysis to find Riantiarno’s horizons of expectation. The results show that the actualization of women’s roles appear in self-independence at work, sternness, and calmness in dealing with problems. Riantiarno’s horizons of expectation appear in his pre-experiences concerning women’s roles, implicit relationships with previous literary works on women’s roles, and opposition between fiction and reality, poetic and practical fuktion of language in the two plays. Riantiarno’s actualization of the women’s roles in Opera Ikan Asin is influenced by horizons of expectation and Zeitgeist (the soul of a different era).Keywords:women’s role, play, feminism, horizon of expectation, Zeitgeist

The resilience potential of different refugee reception approaches taken during the ‘refugee crisis’ in Amsterdam

The so-called refugee crisis in 2015/2016 created opportunities for faith-based organizations, community initiatives, volunteers and refugees to get actively involved in refugee reception in Amsterdam. This study investigated the resilience potential of three refugee reception approaches that were taken during that transformative period: those of a semi-governmental organization (COA), a faith-based organization (The Salvation Army) and a community initiative ( Hoost). Based on qualitative data, the article shows that the nexus of regulations and flexibility in crisis responses impacts the ability to employ multiple local resources and thus predetermines the capacity to adopt resilient solutions to refugee reception during crises. The authors plead for daring governmental efforts that acknowledge, connect and facilitate the innovative power of local communities, faith-based organizations, volunteers and refugees in the refugee reception process without further withdrawals of state responsibility for refugee reception. However, it is crucial that such innovative efforts integrate and learn from existing knowledge to prevent mistakes from being repeated.

Study of collective nutrition education sessions for diabetic type II patients

As with many chronic diseases, most French diabetes services for patients with type II diabetes now have a structured reception approach including collective educational sessions in the form of targeted workshops, thematic days, or even programs with several sessions. The aim of our study is to understand the interlocutory dynamics favorable to the adoption of new cognitions and attitudes during these sessions. We studied the verbal exchanges of nine collective nutrition education sessions (five focusing on knowledge input, and four implementing behavioral simulation). A total of 76 patients with type II diabetes (per group of six to 13 participants) and 12 group leaders (nurses, dieticians or nutritionists) contributed to this study, based on audio recording, and analysis of these sessions lasting two hours on average (with between 4345 and 8592 words per session). The nine corpora were the subject of two types of content analysis: lexical and dialogic, with the N'vivo 8 software. The results of this study suggest very precisely several ways to improve the content of the informational contributions of these educational sessions. The study of their process also makes it possible to distinguish between self-disclosure and social support in communication between participants. Finally, this study checks the effectiveness of the different types of framing of health messages in the discourse of the group leaders to facilitate the adhesion of the participants. In conclusion, it appears that the reaction spontaneously verbalized by the participants during the course of the educational situation, in these sessions, can be considered as an interesting indicator of their impact. The results may have implications for the development of nutritional education programs and group leader training.

Damage Identification of Periodically-Supported Structures Following the Bayesian Probabilistic Approach

This paper presents a probabilistic damage identification methodology tailor-made for periodically-supported structures with finite-length. The free wave motion of a general periodically-supported structure with a single disorder is analyzed through the characteristic receptance approach, and the corresponding frequency characteristic equation is developed. In addition, a concept of nondimensional frequency is introduced, and the sensitivity matrix of the nondimensional frequencies with respect to changes in stiffness of periodic cells is obtained by solving the frequency characteristic equation and utilizing the sensitivity analysis technique. Following the sensitivity-based identification equation with nondimensional frequency information, the probabilistic methodology for identifying the damage occurring in the periodically-supported structures is developed by implementing the Bayesian approach and the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation with the Metropolis–Hasting sampling algorithm. The validity of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by both numerical simulations for a periodically-supported flanged pipeline example and experimental case studies conducted for a multi-span aluminum beam model endowed with bolted connections in the laboratory.

Energy Efficient Cooperation Based on Relay Switching ON–OFF Probability for WSNs

Cooperative communications can substantially improve the performance in fading channels. However, in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, the benefits of cooperation only go until certain limits, beyond which the energy cost of cooperation can be significant and unprofitable. We propose a cooperative scheme in which the relays activate the receiving circuitry based on a switching ON–OFF probability. We derive analytic expressions for the amount of effective information transmitted through the network and the associated outage probability under Nakagami- m fading channels. Based on the developed analysis, we formulate an optimization problem in which the switching ON–OFF probabilities are adjusted to reduce the energy consumption, subject to an outage probability constraint. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme under fixed and random network topologies. Our results indicate that the proposed scheme substantially outperforms the standard cooperative reception approach in terms of the amount of effective information transmitted through the network.

Intertextuality reception in postmodernist discourse

The main study subject of the article is intertextual postmodern text interaction with the legacy of Russian classics of XIX–XX centuries. A cultural dialogue being a semantic point of convergence of the text factual and ideological levels is in the focus of investigation. The purpose of the research undertaken is observation of the postmodern artistic unity transformational nature, represented by the projection of systemic/non-systemic writing/ /reading. Methodologically, the work is based on the receptive approach to identification of individual features of the text and its semantic correlates. The analysis allowed us to direct attention to intertextual variations, discursive imagery circumvolutions, presence of parallel and reverse vectors in the newly created texts. The concepts of the intertextual matrix situation put across are illustrated with the fictional examples (Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Yerofeyev). The article is intended (field of application) for the Russian and foreign researchers of the postmodern discourse, intertextual communication, literary forms dialogue, signimic level text transformed into a semantic construct. The analysis results posit that formal intertextuality character (citation scale) in the individual text concept expands to the phenomenon, bearing convergent characteristics, and the semantic field extension can be carried out with the help of the receptive approach.
