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:

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

The development of human activities along the Jeneberang river as the main river in the watershed such as agricultural activities, settlements, tourism, and sand quarrying, trigger changes in river water quality that have an impact on water quality in the Bili-Bili reservoir. Based on the problems it is important to analyze the water quality of the reservoir, and determined of water quality status based on the applicable water quality standards and Minister of Environment Decree No. 115 of 2003. The development of activities in Jeneberang watershed were become factors that trigger changes in water quality. Spatial analysis was conducted to determine the distribution of activity that could potentially contaminate the water. Through two analyzes are expected to be the basis for the formulation of recommendations in Jeneberang watershed environmental management, especially in Bili-Bili reservoir.
