Hyperbole in Indonesian Song Lyrics
Full text linkLanguage is pivotal in fulfilling human communicative needs, such as transactional and interactional functions. In the latter function, language is employed, one of which is to build social and personal attitudes, or so-called poetic or imaginative function. Such functions can be accessed through songs or song lyrics. Motivated by the previous argument, this paper aims to describe construction types and categories of hyperbolic expressions found in various Indonesian song lyrics, comprising the genres of “kroncong,” “dangdut,” and other popular songs. To provide the evidence, this study collected data from YouTube and carefully examined how the song lyrics involve hyperbolic expressions. The analysis also comprised identifying the types of hyperbolic expressions in terms of their linguistic constructions. Analysis reveals that hyperbole is constructed in either positive or negative sentences, metaphors, superlative, and serial adjectival constructions. Those hyperbolic expressions can at least be classified into five categories, i.e. quantity hyperbole, quality hyperbole, distance hyperbole, time hyperbole, space hyperbole, and action hyperbole. These categories seem to closely relate to the scope of human perceptions about everything they find in the world. They will always have associations with number, state, distance, time, space, and actions anyone can perform. This study concludes the intertwined relationship between language and human behaviors.

Analysis of Spiral Pump Head Based on Water Wheel Parameters
Full text linkWater supply is a crucial factor for farmers in managing agricultural land, especially those relying on river water sources. The lower position of rivers and the considerable distance from the fields often pose challenges, making water pumps powered by electricity or fuel a common choice, despite their high operational costs. To address this issue, the utilization of renewable energy through the use of a spiral pump powered by a water wheel is proposed. The spiral pump is considered an environmentally friendly technology as it does not require electricity or fossil fuels. This study aims to analyze the head of a spiral pump based on the parameters of an undershot water wheel as preparation for the design of the spiral pump. In this study, a significant decrease in discharge value was observed from a head of 0.5 m up to a head of 3 m; in contrast, from a head of 3 m to 10 m, the discharge value decreased gradually. For small agricultural land or household needs, this spiral pump water wheel would be suitable at a maximum head of 5 m with a discharge value of 0.53 L/s. The results show a negative correlation between the head of the spiral pump and the discharge produced, where an increase in head results in a lower discharge
Topology Optimization of Rear Sprocket of Electric Prototype Vehicle
Full text linkKompetisi Mobil Hemat Energi (KMHE) competes for energy efficient vehicles, which are composed of integrated energy-saving systems. One of the systems that is required to be energy efficient is transmission. The transmission discussed in this study is the sprocket chain transmission system. The rear sprocket is an object that needs to be optimized to obtain a lighter mass, thus efficient in terms of overall weight. Using topology optimization via CAD software, rear sprocket mass can be reduced. The results of topology optimization are used as a reference for changing the shape of the sprocket face, to make it easier in terms of fabrication. These results were then re-tested with static simulations to ensure its strength. The conclusion is that the latest sprocket design has a mass reduction of 66% of its original version and the von Misses stress was only 55% of the yield strength at most
Peran Kontrol Diri dan Keterhubungan dengan Sekolah terhadap Masalah Emosi dan Perilaku Remaja Usia SMP
No full textEmotional and behavioral problems are likely to emerge in early adolescents as they are considered emotionally immature and highly susceptible to changes in their social environment. This study aims to examine the role of self-control and school connectedness in adolescent emotional and behavioral problems. The research hypothesis is that self-control and connectedness to school together play a role in adolescents' emotional and behavioral problems. Research uses a quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique, involving 171 respondents aged 12-14 years who are at the junior high school level. Measurements were carried out using three scales: The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.760, the self-control scale with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.739, and the Student Connectedness Questionnaire (SCQ) with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.891. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that self-control and school connectedness contribute to emotional and behavioral problems with an effective contribution of 23.8%, while 76.2% are other factors that were not studied
Bukti dan Kebenaran Ilmiah: Dua Sisi Mata Uang
Full text linkThis article explores the intricate relationship between evidence and scientific truth, likened to two sides of the same coin. Evidence serves as the fundamental basis for building scientific knowledge, while scientific truth remains tentative and evolves with new discoveries. The discussion delves into the concepts of evidence and truth from the perspective of the philosophy of science, identifying various types of evidence, from empirical to spectral, and examining theories of truth such as coherence, correspondence, and pragmatism. The correlation between evidence and truth is reviewed as a systematic scientific process, although contradictions arise due to evidence limitations, interpretative biases, and the dynamics of scientific paradigms. Through this analysis, the article underscores the importance of critical thinking and awareness of limitations in evaluating scientific claims to support the development of valid and rational knowledge.AbstrakArtikel ini mengeksplorasi hubungan kompleks antara bukti dan kebenaran ilmiah yang diibaratkan sebagai dua sisi mata uang.
