KONSTRUKSI PASANGAN CALON DALAM PILGUB JATENG 2008 OLEH MEDIA MASSA (KASUS PEMBERITAAN JAWA POS RADAR SEMARANG DAN SUARA MERDEKA)
Get PDFPilgub Jateng 2008 adalah pemilihan kepala daerah langsung pertama yang
terjadi di Jawa Tengah. Ada lima pasangan yang mencalonkan diri sebagai
gubernur-wakil gubernur. Mereka adalah Bambang Sadono-M. Adnan (Partai
Golkar), Agus Soeyitno-Kholiq Arif (PKB), Sukawi Sutarip-Sudharto (Partai
Demokrat-PKS), Bibit Waluyo-Rustriningsih (PDI-P) dan HM. Tamzil-Rozaq
Rais (PPP-PAN). Mekanisme pemilihan langsung berakibat jarak antara pasangan
calon dengan pemilih menjadi semakin dekat sehingga setiap pasangan calon
dituntut untuk memanfaatkan media dalam membangun citra positif. Dalam hal
ini peran media sebagai sarana komunikasi politik menjadi cukup vital. Bagi
pasangan calon, media adalah sarana strategis untuk menyebarluaskan pesan
politik kepada khalayak. Media sebagai salah satu sumber informasi bagi
masyarakat harus mampu menjalankan fungsinya dengan baik dengan berpegang
pada netralitas. Namun, dalam operasionalnya media selalu dipengaruhi faktor
internal dan eksternal yang membuat mereka tidak dapat sepenuhnya objektif.
Media bukanlah institusi yang bebas nilai. Isi media tidaklah merefleksikan
realitas yang ada namun mengkonstruksikan serangkaian fakta yang terjadi.
Metode triangulasi digunakan untuk mengetahui bagaimana harian Jawa
Pos Radar Semarang dan Suara Merdeka mengkonstruksikan masing-masing
pasangan calon. Juga untuk mengetahui kecenderungan pemberitaan serta politik
redaksional masing-masing media. Objek penelitian yang dipilih adalah beritaberita
tentang pasangan calon di harian Jawa Pos Radar Semarang dan Suara
Merdeka pada halaman satu dan rubrik khusus selama 26 Maret-22 Juni 2008.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harian Jawa Pos Radar Semarang
berusaha responsif dengan isu-isu politik memberikan konstruksi yang favorable
kepada pasangan Agus Soeyitno-Kholiq Arif, Bibit Waluyo-Rustriningsih dan
HM. Tamzil-Rozaq Rais. Sebaliknya, mereka memberikan konstruksi
unfavorable kepada pasangan Bambang Sadono-M. Adnan dan Sukawi Sutarip-
Sudharto. Sedangkan Suara Merdeka memilih gaya pemberitaan yang aman dan
tidak tendesius kepada masing-masing pasangan calon. Hasilnya, mereka
cenderung mengkonstruksikan pasangan Bambang Sadono-M. Adnan, Bibit
Waluyo-Rustriningsih dan HM. Tamzil-Rozaq Rais dengan bingkai yang
favorable. Sedangkan pasangan Agus Soeyitno-Kholiq Arif dan Sukawi Sutarip-
Sudharto dalam bingkai unfavorable.

Unsupervised shape clustering using diffusion map
Get PDFThe quotient space of all smooth and connected curves represented by a fixed number of boundary points is a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, also known as a shape manifold. This makes the preservation of locality a critically important issue when reducing the dimensionality of shapes on the manifold. We present a completely unsupervised clustering algorithm employing diffusion maps for locality-preserving embedding of shapes onto a much lower-dimensional space. The algorithm first obtains a non-linear low-dimensional embedding of shape context features of outer boundary contours of the shapes. Considering the embedded coordinates as a new minimalist representation of shapes, a clustering of shapes is obtained using a finite mixture model. The proposed clustering algorithm is computationally efficient, as it relies on clustering in a very lowdimensional space, and produces much improved results (88.6% for a 7-class dataset) as compared to clustering with conventional linear projections
The Process of Urbanisation in Pakistan, 1951–81
Get PDFThe current level of urbanisation in Pakistan, approximately 33 percent in 1998, is not high by global standards. But it is commonly linked with unemployment, underemployment, shortage of housing, transport and other infrastructure like water supply and sewerage. Compared to other areas of population dynamics, such as fertility and mortality, studies in the field of urbanisation and internal migration in Pakistan are rather limited. During the last three decades hardly half a dozen studies could be added in the field of urbanisation. These studies are primarily based on data generated by the different censuses. After the 1979 Population Labour Force and Migration (PLM) Survey, no nationally representative survey addressing the issue of urbanisation and internal migration could be carried out. Even regional studies could not be conducted during the last two decades. The present study is designed to utilise the 1998 census data to investigate urban population growth, pace (or tempo) of urbanisation and components of urban growth for the period of 1981–98.

Electronic Braille Document Reader
No full textThis paper presents an investigation into developing a portable Braille device which would allow visually impaired individuals to read electronic documents by actuating Braille text on a finger. Braille books tend to be bulky in size due to the minimum size requirements for each Braille cell. E-books can be read in Braille using refreshable Braille displays connected to a computer. However, the refreshable Braille displays are expensive, bulky and are not portable. These factors restrict blind and visually impaired individuals from accessing much of the literature which is not available in Braille.
The proposed device overcomes the problem of carrying bulky Braille books by allowing multiple E-books to be saved in a portable memory device. Translating text to Braille pattern gives the blind access to non-Braille literature. The single Braille cell design reduces the bulk of the device allowing it to be portable and reducing the cost.
A prototype was developed to prove Braille could be read by actuating Braille characters on a finger. The device read text from an SD card, translated it into Braille characters and actuated the Braille pattern which blind volunteers were able to read.
The investigation confirmed the feasibility of the Electronic Braille document reader. It also proved the theory that Braille could be read from a single Braille cell by the patterns actuating on a finger instead of the finger sliding across an already formed Braille pattern
Engineering and Management Experience at Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Get PDFThis manuscript presents the author���s engineering and management experience during his internship in the Materials and Pavements (M&P) Division at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), and is a record of study for the Doctor of Engineering at Texas A&M University. Through this internship, he met his established internship objectives of gaining technical knowledge as well as knowledge and skills in project management, organizational communication, and quality management of pavement condition data, and of attaining professional development.
In meeting these objectives, the author describes the history, mission, and organizational structure of his workplace. He also presents his experience of developing and delivering a two-week training course on pavement design and construction in Kosovo. Participating in a number of professional development training courses and other activities prepared him for working as an engineering manager. These activities include Delta-T leadership training, an instructor development course, a time management and organizational skills course, and the M&P Division lecture series. Leadership and skills learned through the Delta-T program were beneficial for the employee as well as the employer. For the class project, the author and his teammates performed a study dealing with improving TTI���s deliverables. The Delta-T team composed a report summarizing their efforts of examining the current state of TTI���s project deliverables, the deliverables��� shortcomings, and potential enhancements to expand the deliverables��� appeal to additional types of potential users outside the traditional research community. The team also developed a prototype web-based model of deliverables and presented some implementation recommendations.
Participating in the Texas Department of Transportation���s (TxDOT���s) pavement surface distress data collection program enabled the author to become familiar with pavement distress data quality management and thus attain the technical and nontechnical skills required for project management. He noticed some areas for improvement in TxDOT���s rater���s manual, rater���s training class, and acceptance criteria for visual distress data
