Challenges of internationalization of the Indonesian museum guides' communication skills competency
Get PDFAs the front guards, museum guides need to master many skills that support the role of transferring information in the museum to every visitor who comes, both domestic and foreign. More specifically, every museum guide must master foreign language skills in order to serve foreign visitors. Unfortunately, not all museum guides have foreign language skills, especially English, and other supporting skills such as curation, communication, and public speaking. This paper investigates the limited ability of English mastery and other supporting skills of museum guides in two government-owned museums in Yogyakarta, the second tourism city in Indonesia, and how far they affect the internationalization of the two museums as representatives of other museums in Indonesia. This descriptive research uses data collection methods in surveys with questionnaires and in-depth interviews with guides and visitors of the museum, both domestic and foreign. This research found that limited foreign language skills, especially English and other professional skills of museum guides, can slow down the museum's internationalization process in Indonesia
The Effects of Covid-19 Pandemic towards Conventional Theaters and online Streaming Services in Indonesia
Get PDFThe Covid-19 pandemic has drastically disrupted all business sectors in Indonesia such as the arts, cultural, and entertainment industries. This circumstance necessitated the conversion of numerous conventional movie theatres and online streaming providers. This scientific article examined the impact of the pandemic on the entertainment industry, specifically theatres of XXI and CGV and movie streaming; Disney+Hotstar and Netflix. The qualitative method was used to develop this research. The dataset was taken from the survey taken from McKinsey Company website in 2020 and articles. The authors conducted an analysis of the changes based on two theories; New Media from Martin Lister, Jon Dovey, Seth Giddings and Kieran Kelly and Uses and Gratification Theory from Katz, Blumler, and Gurevitch. The research findings demonstrate that internet streaming services can meet the entertainment needs of lonely individuals at home and result in a paradigm shift away from the belief that new films are only released in theatres
Autonomous Fuzzy Heading Control for a Multi-Wheeled Combat Vehicle
Get PDFThis paper introduces the design and the implementation of a heading angle tracking controller using fuzzy logic for a scaled Autonomous Multi-Wheeled Combat Vehicle (AMWCV) to navigate in outdoor environments. The challenge of designing this control system is to control the steering of the front four wheels individually to obtain the correct heading angle of the vehicle. The main contribution of the paper can be summarized in the fact that it is designing four fuzzy controllers for navigation and tracking the desired heading angle while at the same time while controlling the steering of the front four wheels individually. The AMWCV is capable of forwarding and backward movement where all eight wheels are powered individually. The different heading angles are used and simulated using MATLAB software to evaluate the performances of the developed algorithms. In addition, the performance of the developed controllers is validated in the presence of noise and disturbance in order to evaluate the robustness of the controller's Simulation results show the performances and demonstrate that the developed controllers are effective in predicting the desired heading angle changes
Nunggak semi Al Suwardi: organology and perspective of harmonic planet music creation
Get PDFThis article examines the artistry of a composer named Aloysius Suwardi. This composer, who grew up in the Javanese gamelan music tradition, has produced musical compositions and created musical instruments as a means/medium to express it on the journey of his creativity. His works have been staged in various forums or world music festivals. The musical instruments he has created fill the laboratory spaces to create his musical compositions. Two musical ensembles that have been created are Gamelan Genta and Gamelan Planet Harmonic. These two musical instruments complement the many personal musical instruments he has created, such as the vibrander, tering, gerendang, and other musical instruments. Regarding the two ensembles, this article examines the aspects of the creation process. For example, how did Al Suwardi choose the materials used, how to make them, to how he determined the barrel system for these tools. In terms of compositing, this article examines how Al Suwardi started his work, his models of creation, and how he composes his works until they are declared final. The gragas and dridis creeds and Nunggak Semi's concept are the main topics in this composition creation model. Both creeds and concepts have ushered in the landscape of making Al Suwardi's musical compositions expand, from the gamelan tradition to more contemporary models of music creatio
The art of honing the conscience through bukalapak ads: barongsai Indonesia, juara hati membangun bangsa
Get PDFCulture is one of the foundations for the existence of Indonesia as a nation, as it is expressed in the second stanza of her national anthem. The government has taken an initiative to prioritize national character building, which places character education to realize the vision of national development. One of the efforts to visualize this Indonesian is constructed through a Bukalapak advertisement entitled “Barongsai Indonesia, Juara Hati Membangun Negeri,†which presented the Kong Ha Hong lion dance group and was published via Youtube. This study aims to see that the character values of the Indonesian nation can be constructed through digital media, more precisely through an advertisement. This research employed a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm that sees facts as unique and has a special meaning. In addition, the analysis used Thomas Albert Sebeok's visual semiotics to depict several similar classifications to different visual symbols. It was found that every advertisement scene contained both visual and audio messages related to the adaptation of the culture and character of the Indonesian. The contribution and novelty of this research in its construction of the deep meaning of an advertisement are that the conscience has played a major role in the process of cultural adaptation in which the national characters have been honed through the actual actions in the heart-mind, body, and spirit. This research suggested that the character of the Indonesian nation can be formed through cultural adaptation, as proven by the Kong Ha Hong lion danc
Diversification of ceramic craft for tourism souvenir: local culture as art creation and production idea
Get PDFThe tourism industry and craft products are two sectors that are long developed, complementing and strengthening each other. However, not many people consider ceramic craft product design with local culture basis. The research aims to show how local culture can be used as a source for ceramic craft product design ideas. Through design innovation and production techniques, we can increase varieties of ceramic craft product design. However, to make it come true, it needs a creative method as its solution. Creative method application includes: (1) Developing ceramic craft design for souvenir, based on local culture; (2) ceramic craft visual exploration for souvenir sourced from the local culture with Kerapan Sapi Madura (Cow Racing) as creation idea; (3) Ceramic craft production technique for souvenir; (4) Improvement and analysis of ceramic craft product innovation for a souvenir. (5) Analysis of creation result. Creation results can be seen from two design sets of ceramic craft products based on local culture with the “Kerapan Sapi Madura (Cow Racing)†theme as a product design idea
Transformation of blockchain and opportunities for education 4.0
Get PDFThere are many ways in which education 4.0 can continue to develop rapidly and coexist with the development of increasingly advanced technology to bond with each other to be balanced, one of which is using blockchain technology that is integrated in the education sector for various purposes. The main direction in developing global integration in education includes the creating a single educational space and optimization of the interaction between education and stakeholder relationships. The blockchain method implemented in education 4.0 was not widely used because initially, blockchain was only known for the financial sector. Blockchain is comprehensive and appropriate for this era, as blockchain offers technology, trust, and transparency by replacing the previous system with a new system. A particular problem is a need for innovative research to provide new insights into blockchain transformation inf education and application opportunities that can be accepted and used optimally. Researchers used the vast mind method and literature study. The goal is to inform the added value of blockchain that is applied in education as needed, the renewal of research and opportunities for implementing blockchain in education 4.0. The blockchain technology that can be used in education, for example, is archiving, learning, certification and other
The practice of womens social capital as the pillars of the family economic in rural area
Get PDFThis study aims to find various forms of women’s social practices as the pillars of the family economic in rural UIK. The research employs qualitative research method which involves a study case at Kacang Tore Small Enterprise. The data of the research were collected by using triangulation method covering observation, interview, and documentation, and those data obtained in this research were then analyzed using a forward stepwise model from Spradley. From the findings, it is stated that social capital is formed by the presence of several elements of social capital which created through social interactions between economic actors, and women workers. Its form can be seen through various forms of social capital such as beliefs, networks, norms, values of life based on religious teachings and ancestral cultural heritage which passed down over generations to generations by exchanging kindness. The practice of women’s social capital, the pillars of the family economy, is found in terms of (1) building trust in a working relationship in all activities of the small business unit; (2) establishing social capital network which emerges from relationships between family members and friends; (3) maintaining kindness and reciprocity embedded in free knowledge sharing and giving loan; (4) preserving the values of life as having been explained in religious teachings and in cultural heritage passed down from the generation to generation; (5) implementing norms as the guideline for all economic actors to conduct their economic activities. These practices are essential to strengthen the existence of small business unit at the rural area, which then provide the recommendation for other small business units throughout Indonesia to empower women as the pillar of the family. Empowering women is believed to increase the family economy because women serve as the ideal capital resources for maintaining the economic resilience of the family
CORONAVIRUS Diagnosis Based on Chest X-Ray Images and Pre-trained DenseNet-121
Get PDFA serious global problem called COVID-19 has killed a great number of people and rendered many projects useless. The obtained individual's identification at the appropriate time is one of the crucial methods to reduce losses. By detecting and recognizing contaminated individuals in the early stages, artificial intelligence can help many associations in these situations. In this study, we offer a fully automated method to identify COVID-19 from a patient's chest X-ray images without the need for a clinical expert's assistance. A new dataset was released, which consists of 300 chest X-ray images from 100 healthy individuals, 100 individuals who were infected with Covid 19, and 100 images of viral pneumonitis. 100 more for testing, too. In order to attain an F1 score of 0.98, a Recall of 0.98, and also an Accuracy of 0.98 with this dataset, a classification method deep learning-based learning algorithm DenseNet-121, transfer learning, as well as data augmentation techniques were implemented. Therefore, even though there are not enough training photos, these findings are far better than other state-of-the-art
