Konstruksi Realitas Cover Majalah Tempo (Studi Semiotika Gambar Jokowi Bersiluet Pinokio)

In September 2019 Indonesia was busy discussing the revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law which was passed, in this condition Tempo magazine depicts the symbol of President Jokowi with the silhouette of Pinocchio on the cover of the 16-22 September 2019 edition of Tempo magazine. The purpose of this study describes the meaning of the signs and symbols is included in the cover of the Tempo magazine edition dated 16-22 September 2019. Apart from that, he also wants to reveal the meaning contained in the cover of the Tempo magazine. This study uses a constructivist paradigm, with a descriptive qualitative research approach using Charles Sander Pierce's triadic semiotic analysis model. The results showed that the sign of a man dressed in white with wrinkles on the forehead and pouting lips, this shows the problems that occur in Indonesia so that the president is responsible for handling corruption cases. The silhouette of President Jokowi with a long nose resembling Pinocchio here is a depiction of Pinocchio's character. Here, Tempo tries to be critical about events in the community, and with this picture the people have their own perceptions of the current situation.

Cognitive Correlation In Gothic: A Semiotic Approach

Semiotics is theoretically used to unravel the meaning by connecting and interpreting different signs and symbols. Evolution of meaning begins from shared to agreed meaning by the interpretation of facts and information. Thus, certain philosophical tradition is concerned with the understanding of how people use different signs and symbols in meaning-making. To understand the correlation of meaning the researchers has taken two short stories of K. Hari Kumar‟s “The Devil‟s Flower and a piece of Rock”, “A Pair of Pale Hands” are analysed in terms of the semiotic approach, namely the triadic model. This triadic model by Charles Sander Pierce is a three-dimensional model whose axes are: Representamen, Object, and Interpretant. In this research paper, the researchers had correlated the process of meaning-making with Setting, Myth and Blood. Each are individually identified in Shakespeare‟s Macbeth and Hamlet in creating its meaning and development in the story. This paper associates Representamen as form, the setting, Object as a referent to myth and blood. In association with the representamen and object, we get interpreted meaning called the Interpretant. This correlating structural process is seen with reference to Jacques Derrida‟s „Model of Parergon‟. Thus, this paper purports to explore the narrative as a structure of interconnected signs and symbols that are organically rooted to the gothic style of writing and deriving its meaning semiotically.

Magnetic influence on water evaporation rate: an empirical triadic model

Over the past decades researchers have described what happens to the water when a polarizing external field is applied to it and changes the bonding forces existing in it. Water evaporation, an essential process in nature, has been targeted in a great number of studies. In this paper, static magnetic fields ranging from 30-to-200 mT were applied to circulating purified water to study their effect on how the evaporation rate changed under different ambient conditions. A statistical approach was employed to verify the significance of the magnetically induced effect. Our results showed that by applying a static magnetic field to the water, the evaporation rate increased at lower temperatures, yielding an evaporation increase for magnetized water of up to 20% at 6 °C. We found too that the circulation of the water did not contribute significantly to the evaporation rate. We used an empirical triadic model to correlate the applied magnetic field with the ambient parameters of temperature and humidity.

Friendship paradox in growth networks: analytical and empirical analysis

Many empirical studies have shown that in social, citation, collaboration, and other types of networks in real world, the degree of almost every node is less than the average degree of its neighbors. This imbalance is well known in sociology as the friendship paradox and states that your friends are more popular than you on average. If we introduce a value equal to the ratio of the average degree of the neighbors for a certain node to the degree of this node (which is called the ‘friendship index’, FI), then the FI value of more than 1 for most nodes indicates the presence of the friendship paradox in the network. In this paper, we study the behavior of the FI over time for networks generated by growth network models. We will focus our analysis on two models based on the use of the preferential attachment mechanism: the Barabási–Albert model and the triadic closure model. Using the mean-field approach, we obtain differential equations describing the dynamics of changes in the FI over time, and accordingly, after obtaining their solutions, we find the expected values of this index over iterations. The results show that the values of FI are decreasing over time for all nodes in both models. However, for networks constructed in accordance with the triadic closure model, this decrease occurs at a much slower rate than for the Barabási–Albert graphs. In addition, we analyze several real-world networks and show that their FI distributions follow a power law. We show that both the Barabási–Albert and the triadic closure networks exhibit the same behavior. However, for networks based on the triadic closure model, the distributions of FI are more heavy-tailed and, in this sense, are closer to the distributions for real networks.

A Semiotic Approach to Understanding Advertisements

Abstract This research investigates the role of semiotics in comprehending the ideological and cultural symbols utilised in advertisements. The major aim of this study is to examine how the different approaches of semiotics contribute to interpreting the messages decoded in advertisements. Under the broad theory of semiotics, the current research presents Saussure's (1916) dyadic model of the sign as well as Peirce's (1955) triadic model of the sign. Furthermore, this research highlights the predominant role played by advertisements in our society these days. The study also gives an account of Barthes' (1977) categorization of the messages existing in advertisements into linguistic, denotative and connotative. In addition, an overview of van Leeuwen's (2005) social semiotic approach is presented. Findings of the study indicate that advertisements are loaded with signs whose interpretations depend largely on culture and ideology. The study also shows that the aforementioned semiotic approaches can help in revealing how advertisements perpetuate certain ideas and beliefs while ignore others. It indicates that most advertisements try to communicate implicitly the idea of how people are supposed to be. مستخلص البحث باللغة العربية تبحث هذه الدراسة دور السيميوطيقا في فهم الرموز الأيديولوجية والثقافية المستخدمة في الإعلانات. والهدف الرئيسي لهذه الدراسة هو فحص کيفية مشارکة المناهج المختلفة للسيميوطيقافي تفسير الرسائل المکنونة في الإعلانات. ففي ظل نظرية السيميوطيقا تقدم هذه الدراسة نموذج سوسير (1916) الثنائي للعلامة بالإضافة إلى نموذج بيرس (1955) الثلاثي للعلامة. وعلاوة على ذلک تسلط هذه الدراسة الضوء على الدور السائد الذي تلعبه الإعلانات في مجتمعنا هذه الأيام. وتقدم الدراسة أيضا سردا لتصنيف بارثيس (1977) للرسائل الموجودة في الإعلانات إلى رسائل لغوية ، رسائل دلالية، رسائل ضمنية. فضلا عن ذلک يتم عرض لمحة عن نهج فان ليوين (2005) عن السيميوطيقا الاجتماعية. وتشير نتائج هذه الدراسة إلى کون الإعلانات حافلة بالعلامات التي تعتمد تفسيراتها بشکل کبير على الثقافة والأيديولوجيا ، کما توضح هذه الدراسة أن المداخل السيميوطيقية سالفة الذکر من الممکن أن تساعد في کشف کيفية ترسيخ الإعلانات لمفاهيم وأفکار بعينها في حين تجاهل الأخرى. وتوضح أيضا أن معظم الإعلانات تحاول ضمنيا توصيل فکرة عن الشکل المفترض الذي ينبغي أن يکون عليه الأشخاص.

A systematic review of resting-state functional connectivity in obesity: Refining current neurobiological frameworks and methodological considerations moving forward.

Obesity is the second most common cause of preventable morbidity worldwide. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used extensively to characterise altered communication between brain regions in individuals with obesity, though findings from this research have not yet been systematically evaluated within the context of prominent neurobiological frameworks. This systematic review aggregated resting-state fMRI findings in individuals with obesity and evaluated the contribution of these findings to current neurobiological models. Findings were considered in relation to a triadic model of problematic eating, outlining disrupted communication between reward, inhibitory, and homeostatic systems. We identified a pattern of consistently increased orbitofrontal and decreased insula cortex resting-state functional connectivity in individuals with obesity in comparison to healthy weight controls. BOLD signal amplitude was also increased in people with obesity across studies, predominantly confined to subcortical regions, including the hippocampus, amygdala, and putamen. We posit that altered orbitofrontal cortex connectivity may be indicative of a shift in the valuation of food-based rewards and that dysfunctional insula connectivity likely contributes to altered homeostatic signal processing. Homeostatic violation signals in obesity may be maintained despite satiety, thereby 'hijacking' the executive system and promoting further food intake. Moving forward, we provide a roadmap for more reliable resting-state and task-based functional connectivity experiments, which must be reconciled within a common framework if we are to uncover the interplay between psychological and biological factors within current theoretical frameworks.

Macau Squares: Discerning the Triadic Sign Model of Built-Heritage

Despite an objectivist vision by many heritage conservation bodies, the extant literature mostly dwells on the value of heritage as something subjective and arbitrary. Semiotically treating built-heritage as a Peircian triadic sign, instead of a dyadic sign, could reconcile this apparent dichotomy. Some squares of Macau]’s Historic Centre are taken as case study. Using a Coasian perspective, this paper argues how the meaning-delimiting consequences of a triadic semiotic framework allow for a lower transaction cost in valuation and eventually a more sustainable conservation. This has been confirmed by an expert decision in designating the relatively new squares as heritage protected areas.

Triple Helix Twins: A Framework for Achieving Innovation and UN Sustainable Development Goals

This study invents a Triple Helix of university-public-government for sustainable development, as a complement to the Triple Helix of university-industry-government for innovation. Twinning the two retains the dynamic properties of a tertius gaudens in the framework which addresses environment, resource protection, social change and equality issues. Adding a risk space and raising the “Triple Helix Spaces” concept to the world level are also proposed as a methodology to fulfill related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through joint projects transcending national borders. A project for collaborative world region development of advanced solar photovoltaics is then suggested as an exemplar. Achieving the UN SDGs requires education institutions, governments, non-government organizations and individuals to commit to collaborations, adopting dynamically interacting triple helices to unite innovative development and sustainable development. Debate over expanding the Triple Helix model has focused on whether the fourth and fifth helix might improve or disrupt the triadic model. Although a four-actor system is far away from satisfaction, an expanded model is required to incorporate the critical issues of reconciling innovative and sustainable development. Harnessed together, the Triple Helix twins provide a framework for SDGs attainment.

LITERATURE AS CULTURAL ECOLOGY: A CULTURAL ECOLOGICAL STUDY ON EMERSON AND WHITMAN

This article is intended to find out how a cultural ecological reading is possible for the selected poems of Emerson and Whitman who are considered as the leading figures of the nineteenth century American Renaissance, the artistic spirit which has flourished between the 1830s-1860s in the wake of the Romantic movement. Transcendentalism in America, as a projection of English Romanticism and Christian Unitarianism interprets the organic interaction in-between man, nature and god. Giving the earliest examples of Transcendentalist nature-writing, Emerson and Whitman are open for a cultural-ecological reading because cultural ecology as a new direction in ecocriticism, brings together ecology and aesthetics, nature and man, environment and literature, language and culture in other words human and non-human universes. As an inter-disciplinary theory developing in a dynamic way, cultural ecology, according to Zapf, “can be described as the interrelation of three major discursive functions such as the ‘culture-critical metadiscourse,’ ‘an imaginative counter-discourse,’ and a ‘reintegrative interdiscourse’” (Zapf 2016: 96). In the first model, the artistic work is analyzed to reveal the workings of an oppressive ideological structure and dogmatic values of the society whereas the second one points out the representations of otherness and marginalization within a text and finally last one tries to exemplify the co-evolution of both models in searching for the “transformative role of literature” within “eco-semiotic” discourse. In that sense, this article intends to find out how the poetic examples of Emerson and Whitman fit into the triadic model of cultural ecology. The argument proceeds through the illustration of Zapf’s triadic model in Emerson’s “Hamatreya,” and Whitman’s “The Splendid, Silent Sun.”

Measuring diagram quality through semiotic morphisms

Abstract This paper outlines a method to assess the effectiveness of diagrams, from semiotic foundations. In doing so, we explore the Peircian notion of signification, as applied to diagrammatic representations. We review a history of diagrams, with particular emphasis on schematics used for representing systems, and uncover the neglect of semiotic analysis of diagrammatic representations. Through application of category theory to the Peircian triadic model, we propose a set of quantitative quality measures for diagrams, and a framework for their assessment, based on the properties of their encoding, pragmatic and perceptual morphisms. These measures include diagram complexity, utility, aesthetics and expert assessment of semiotic content, together with qualitative feedback. We consider the diagrams as an aid to cognitive processes, rather than a purely communication media. This utility-focused perspective on diagram quality dimensions allows for fresh insights into the creation of effective diagrams.

To Reveal or Not to Reveal a Secret: Navigating the Conflict between Honesty and Loyalty

Secrets create moral dilemmas. Individuals who know others’ secrets face a choice: to be honest (and reveal the secret) or to be loyal (and keep the secret). We introduce a triadic model of secret-keeping involving a focal actor who knows a partner’s secret, a partner who has a secret, and an audience likely interested in knowing the secret information; the actor faces conflicting obligations: to be honest with the audience or to be loyal to the partner. Across four pre-registered experiments (N=1,514), we show that observers judge actors who privilege honesty (and reveal the secret) to be more moral but less likable than actors who privilege loyalty (and keep the secret). The nature of the secret information moderates these interpersonal judgments. When the secret information involves unethical behavior, observers judge actors who disclose secrets to be more moral (and less likable) than they judge actors who keep secrets, but when the secret information does not involve unethical behavior, observers judge actors who disclose secrets to be less moral (and much less likable) than actors who keep secrets.

Analysis of Symbol in Westlife Coast to Coast Album

Song is a series of words that are obtained from the inspiration of everyday life. a series of words arranged in such a way that they contain rhythm and meaning that will be conveyed to the listener. Songs are part of literary works. Listening to songs is a very fun activity. sometimes the listener just listens to it and doesn't understand the symbols and meanings in the song. sometimes the song consists of symbols to describe the feelings of the composer. 
 Based on the reason, it brought the reseasrcher to find out the symbol and application of Symbol in the song lyrics and To explain the meaning songs in Westlife’s Coast to Coast Album. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method. Through this method the researcher Tried to analyze, explain,and find out the symbols by using Charles Sanders Pierce’s theory. 
 In this case, Charles Sanders Pierce developed a triadic model in illustrating the definition of the sign as a symbol. The triadic model consisted of three components; representamen, object and interpretant. In this research researcher taken the specific objects of the analysis were songs from Westlife the name of album was Coast to Coast. 
 The song consist of seventeen songs, there were My love, What makes a man, I lay my love on you, When you’re looking like that, Close, Somebody needs you, Angel’s wing’s, Soledad, Puzzle of my heart, Dreams come true, No place that far, close your eyes, You make me feel, Loneliness knows me by name, Fragile heart, Every little thing you do, Uptown girl. 
 The symbols found are empty heart, enthusiasm, spirit, motivation, loyalty, simplicity, strength, happiness, and sadness. Every lyrics written must have a message aimed at both listeners and readers. The message is directed with the intention of making them impress after listening to and reading the lyrics.

Reverse logistics uncertainty in a courier industry: a triadic model

PurposeDue to increasing supply chain complexity, the supply chain uncertainty has become an imperative issue, which hinders the development of modern logistics and supply chain management. The paper attempts to conceptualize reverse logistics uncertainty from supply chain uncertainty literature and present the types of reverse logistics uncertainty in a triadic model.Design/methodology/approachThe concept of reverse logistics uncertainty is developed based on a triadic model of logistics uncertainty and supply chain uncertainty literature. A desk research is conducted to develop a taxonomy of reverse logistics uncertainty. To better depict the reverse logistics uncertainty, we use case studies to discuss the types of reverse logistics uncertainty in the triadic model.FindingsThe study reveals four types of supply chain uncertainties in the reverse logistics. We call them reverse logistics uncertainty. Type-A and Type-B uncertainty are new types of supply chain uncertainty in the reverse logistics.Research limitations/implicationsThe types of reverse logistics uncertainty have not been empirically validated in industries. Especially, the two new types including Type-A and Type-B reverse uncertainty need further exploration.Originality/valueAlthough reverse logistics has been discussed in the past decades, very few studies have been conducted on the supply chain uncertainty in returns management arena. The paper offers valuable insights to better understand the supply chain uncertainty in the reverse logistics. This also provides suggestions for both managers and researchers to reflect on the reverse logistics uncertainty management and business sustainability.

Empirically And Theoretically Driven Scales On Automation Trust: A Multi-Level Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Automation is used to complete a variety of everyday and professional tasks. Trust has been shown to be a critical factor that contributes to successful human-automation interaction. Modern theories of automation trust adapted theories of interpersonal trust and have been tested in a variety of domains. Specifically, a triadic model of trust, with performance, process, and purpose as factors, has emerged. From this theory, Chancey et al. (2017) adapted Madsen and Gregor’s (2000) trust scale to align with Lee and See’s (2004) trust framework. Conversely, Jian et al. (2000) developed a scale empirically with trust and distrust as factors. This study aims to use questionnaire data from previous experiments to explore the relationship between the empirically driven Jian et al. trust scale and the theoretically driven Chancey et al. trust scale. We will perform a multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the distinctiveness of the two trust measures, as well as their structures and the correlation between the measures. The findings of this work will help researchers understand the relationship between the two trust scales, assess if Jian et al.’s scale contains a three-factor structure, and provide more information about the psychological structure of automation trust.

Re-assessing the Triadic Model of Care for Trans Patients Using a Harm-Reduction Approach.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health's Standards of Care (WPATH SOC), now in its seventh edition, is a frequently cited, internationally recognized, evidence-based document that details a comprehensive framework for gender-related care of trans people. However, the WPATH SOC stillrelies heavily in some caseson gatekeeping practices, dubbed "triadic therapy," or a process where a trans patient is encouraged to seek out psychotherapy, andhormone therapy, and only then be able to engage in surgical options for transitioning. I use G. Alan Marlatt's harm reduction framework to argue that the triadic process creates its own set of harms that trans people have to contend with, especially insofar as it focuses on resolving gender dysphoria in a demanding, moralizing, and top-down way as opposed to enriching trans lives by reducing harms that prevent us from flourishing. Using Marlatt's criterion that harm reduction ought to be bottom-up, low threshold, and not moralizing, I develop a list of suggestions for what ought to be centrally considered in treating trans patients.

Empire, Authorship and Völkisch Fairy Tales: Hans Friedrich Blunck and the Re-invention of Tradition after World War I

This article explores the close interplay between Hans Friedrich Blunck’s aesthetic and (geo-)political projects after World War I. In particular, it shows how Blunck situated himself in a lineage of political writers who idealized the notion of a German cultural nation or Reich in times of territorial loss, and re-invented this tradition to challenge the nation-state order enshrined in the Versailles Treaty. These endeavours rested on a triadic model of historical development and found expression in his ‘völkisch’ literature, his European reading tours — especially to communities of so-called ‘Auslandsdeutsche’ — and his involvement in the International PEN Club. Whereas previous studies have often approached Blunck from the vantage points of 1933 or 1945, this article explores his construction of traditions and myths from World War I onwards. In doing this, it reassesses the place of apparently traditional, ‘backward-looking’ actors and modes in Weimar’s wider cultural landscape.

Cross-sectional exploration of brain functional connectivity in the triadic development model of adolescents.

Adolescence represents a transitional stage with increased risk taking and mood dysregulation. These vulnerabilities are accountable by developmental dynamics in the triadic functional brain networks underlying reward seeking (REW), emotional avoidance (EMO), and cognitive regulation (COG). However, these triadic dynamics, though conceptually established, have yet been investigated directly. Capitalizing on public database of resting-state fMRI from 222 adolescents (8-18years old, 89F133M), this study examined cross-sectional development profiles of functional connectivity (FC) by jointly considering bilateral seeds of the ventral striatum, amygdala, and dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex in probing the networks of REW, EMO, and COG, respectively. Positive and negative FCs were considered separately for clarification of synergetic and suppressive interactions. While the REW and EMO mostly exhibited quadratic FC changes across age, suggesting reduced reward sensitivity and risk avoidance, the COG exhibited both linear and quadratic FC changes, suggesting both protracted maturation of cognitive ability and lowered top-down regulation. Additional age × gender effects were identified in the precentral gyrus and superior medial prefrontal cortex, which may associate risky action and emotion dysregulation to boys and girls, respectively. These results provide network evidence in substantiating the "triadic model" and deepening existing insights into neurodevelopmental mechanisms associated with adolescent behavior.

If p0, then 1: The impossibility of thinking out cases

Forrester’s proposed seventh style of reasoning – thinking in cases – functions as an analogous, dyadic relationship that, whilst indebted philosophically to the logical reasoning and semiotics of Charles Peirce, is prone to creating feedback loops between induction and deduction, precluding novel abductive hypotheses from advancing medical knowledge. Reasoning with a Peircean triadic model opens up the contexts and methods of meaning-making and reasoning through medical cases, and the potent influence of their genre conventions, to intellectual critical scrutiny. Vitally, it offers a third mode – abduction – that this article argues needs to be reintroduced into Forrester’s model of reasoning with cases. This article demonstrates this by applying a Peircean triadic model of reasoning to Forrester’s own model, tracing a shared genealogy but one in which the abductive element was lost. The article goes on to illustrate the explanatory and predictive potential of Peircean abductive reasoning and the necessary re-theorising of the case this entails. This argument is supported through an analysis of early case reports of what would become HIV/Aids, drawn from the Case Records of Massachusetts General Hospital series in the New England Journal of Medicine.
