Abstract:

As early as 2004, several robot engineers from Europe and Japan began to discuss potential ethical and religious implications regarding the social inclusions of the wide variety of the next-generation Robot/AI technology. Thus, Roboethics emerged as a genre of applied ethics. Since then, the Robot/AI technology became more socially visible, and researchers from different disciplines began to pay more attention to their potential significances. What are particular about the recent next-generation Robot/AI technology are their intensifying fusions of human existence of every dimension with machine technology from bodily dimension, social dimension and intellectual dimension. In addition, recent bionic technology present new possibility of becoming a human, too. This paper attempts to examine how new images of human began to emerge in light of human’s relationship to Robot/AI technology and what these new images imply for the future course of human society with special emphasis on what communicative AI would do with social humans. read more

Abstract:

Smoking culture in Indonesia has gone through a lot of changes. From betel to kretek to filter kretek. Filter kretek is considered to be a product of glocalization as it is combining modern technology with local taste. Filter kretek is made by a modern machinery in tobacco companies, especially big one. This notion of using the latest technology in producing local product has proven itself that kretek filter is heavily influenced by global culture. This article will discuss how the glocalization is being presented by local brand in their marketing tools especially in television commercial. Focusing on Djarum Black, one of the brand produced by PT. Djarum, during a decade between 2000 and 2010. By using theoretical background of glocalization by Kraidy and Barthes semiotic method, this article reveals the symbolical expression in the television commercial created by a local brand being attached to global culture while maintaining a great deal of local content, which what the spirit of glocalization is all about. read more

Abstract:

The demand of media information is an essential factor in a modern society nowadays. People therefore entrust every news which is liberally released in mass media that are seemingly reliable. The issue apparently occurs towards parties who intend purposes to deceive readers using media headlines. Headlines are easy to be stamped in people?s mind since the readers can be given a portrayal of the whole content through headlines. Headlines ease readers to recall information since it has various persuasive ways to be launched employing particular lexical choices. Halliday (1973) states that author?s linguistic and functional choices are the result of social circumstances and their influences on author’s perception. Consequently, this paper uses a cohesion pattern analysis of headlines on The Jakarta Post which expose Kendeng issues which have been popular and involving stakeholders including environment. This paper stands to the CDA introduced by Fowler (1996) who believes that a text can be arranged in particular structures, engagements, patterns implying an ideology or purpose on marginalizing Kendeng society and causing one side benefit upon others. This paper aims to measure The Jakarta Post?s tendency in supporting which stakeholders through ambiguities revealed in the pattern of cohesion analysis of the headlines in forms of lexical choices and word interrelation. This paper unfolds the author power emerging side on headlines that they make to influence the readers. read more

Abstract:

Nowadays, the concept of the smart city has been a monumental issue. There are many factors of a smart city to be accomplished by the governments. One of the notable factors is the smart environment. The governments must make the policies that fully support the green city life. Instead of replicating the smart city concept, Banyuwangi Regency has gone up into the spotlight as a smart village innovator in Indonesia. In 2017, the Regent has finished Blimbingsari Airport terminal, a terminal with the green concept. The green airport is a main gate for the domestic and international tourists, supporting eco-tourism. The airport is also the example of the smart mobility implementation. Any government policy will always need the publication of mass media. By using content analysis, we identify what media talk about the green airport. The media ignore the smart village topic related to the airport, choosing to focus on the tourism and its architecture. They talk positively about the green airport but need to be directed to the smart village grand design. However, when time files, the leader changes, we urge the vision stays. read more

Abstract:

Coastal area of Siung and Wediombo is a potential coastal line for the development of coastal nature tourism in Gunungkidul Regency. However, not many people know about the genesis or the process that causes the uniqueness of nature in the coastal region. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study that reveals various genesis and natural potentials that can support the development of this region as a potential coastal tourist area, as well as to disclose some related issues that must be addressed wisely. Geoecology is a basic concept that combines geomorphologi-cal views with aspects of the ecosystem. This concept is expected to be the solution to the above problem. Thus, the management of the coastal areas can be integrated, sustainable, and maintaining environmental functions, which also takes into account economics and ecological balance, supported by good community participation as well. read more

Abstract:

The energy scarcity and inequality of supply in Indonesia encourage efforts to find an alternative energy, particularly for remote areas. Alternative energy is expected to derive from renewable energy as an unlimited source. Wind energy is considered to be potentially safe and clean solution to meet energy needs in remote areas. Previous research states that the south coast of Java island has a good potential. However, a feasibility study for the characteristics of diurnal and seasonal wind speed needs to be done before deciding to install wind turbines. The feasibility study is very important to estimate the amount of energy that can be produced, also determine the influence of wind speed variation of diurnal and seasonal on energy generated by the turbine. Thus, the selection for an appropriate wind turbine technology can be done. This study describes the diurnal, monthly and seasonal wind speed characteristics, also the wind potential in Cipatujah Beach, West Java. The data were collected from wind speed measurement at a height of 5 meters above surface, from March 2012 to March 2013. Weibull distribution is used as a method to determine the wind speed probabilities of occurrence. It shows that wind speeds during the day are more likely to produce energy than at night. The average wind speed over a period of 13 months at the site is 2.27 m/s. Wind potential obtained by wind turbine power calculations for KT500 with cut in and cut off value is 2.5 m/s and 12 m/s, respectively. The maximum energy was obtained during the peak time of monsoon, but minimum during season transitional. Total power obtained over a period of 13 months is 189.67 kWh, with an average of 14.59 kWh per month and 0.49 kWh per day. read more

Abstract:

Since the turn of the century, after the fall of repressive regime of Soeharto in 1998, Indonesia has been experiencing a more open version of democracy. Some of these freedoms of expression are manifested in works of contemporary performing arts. The post-reform opennes has brought more articulative approach thought on human tragedy. Although, within the same period the country has seen the rising conservatism and intolerance that are, paradoxically, threatening democracy and the freedom of expression. The issue of human rights, corruption, and marginalized communities in performing arts have not only been advocation of injustice, but also subjects of invitations from international festivals. The case of Papermoon Puppet Theatre’s Mwathirika and Teater Garasi’s Je.ja.l.an that allure internatonal festivals. This paper will explore such phenomenon to see the relations between creative exploration of human crisis and the aesthetic means of the spectacles. In what ways do art festivals claim the value of such transnational performances, and how they are perceived by the media. read more

Abstract:

The notion of charisma has been utilized in academic and no-academic discourses equivalent to culture of male power in many aspects. It emanates exclusive crediting charisma in gender discourse. Charisma and women charismatic leadership in organizations, institutions and churches remains concealed in many traditional societies. This culture of charisma that relegates to male power in association with patriarchal culture inevitably exists among the Konyak Naga until now. It is important to reeducating young people and church leaders in religious institution and education center that charisma has no gender bias as it is “the gift of grace” equally manifested for men and women with no gender limitation. The role of gender in the history of religion and culture effects gender bias in almost every social responsibility sharing. The predominant projection of men as power holders in leadership, socially, religiously and in politics immensely waives charisma in women; the divine gift of grace manifested by women is submerged. In many religious institutions, spiritual gifts manifested by women remain invisible because of the men power that disallows women to express in public. Such power manipulation emerges based on culture and religion. Subsequently, charisma manifested by women and female charismatic leadership become a threat to men which repercussions in violence against women psychologically and physically. Therefore, the research aims to fragment this gender bias attributing charisma to men. This fragmentation pursues to synthesize that charisma has no exclusive manifestation for men; it is an equal manifestation, which is the divine gift of grace for men and women based on social and cultural context of people in the society. Similarly, it applies to women charismatic leadership among the Konyaks which repercussion to the transformation of religion and culture. read more

Abstract:

were established at Wat Benchamabophit (Marble temple) and Sanamseupah area, which both are close to royal residences. The fairs had been popular due to their various leisure activities such as performance entertainment, retail shops and particularly, gambling. The winter fairs had been divided as the elites? area (Pumeebandasak) with the entrance fee and the commoners? area (Sampek) without any fee. This reflects how the winter fairs had served as the leisure spaces for both the elites and commoners. In fact, on occasion entrepreneurs had to ask permission with the interior minister to set up gambling by guaranteeing charitable aims rather than their own business profits. It reflects the unique leisure and entertainment in Bangkok before the World War II era. That also reflects a social transformation from rural leisure places such as Wat fairs (Buddhist temple fairs) or local gambling dens to the winter fairscomplex entertainment spaces with modern electricity and urbanization. The winter fairs are not only the representation of Bangkok leisure before the World War II era but also reflect a unique social transformation, modernization, and urbanization within the history of Bangkok. read more
