Philoponus, Stephanus and the De Anima
No full textThe Greek commentary on Aristotle’s De Anima is assigned by Michael Hayduck to Philoponus, except that he assigns Book 3 to Stephanus. The true continuation of Books 1 and 2 is now known to be a Latin text which claims to be a translation from Philoponus. Peter Lautner, however, contends that both the full commentary and the stray Book 3 are by Philoponus. Pantelis Golitsis argues that Philoponus composed the stray Book 3 while the full commentary is by his tutor Ammonius. Here it will be argued that: (a) Lautner is probably right to deny the stray Book 3 to Stephanus; (b) the criteria employed by Golitsis suggest that Philoponus had a hand in both the Greek and the Latin Book 3; (c) Philoponus is therefore likely to be the author of both the full commentary, as editor of Ammonius, and the stray Book 3 in his own right
INTEREST RATE METRIS SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY FOR BANKING INDUSTRY
No full textThe financial transaction facilities including Automated Teller Machine (ATM), mobile banking, or internet banking can help customers to make real time transactions across location and time zones. On the basis of these two facts, this research comparatively analyze and prove that the daily interest rate system as commonly practiced by the bank potentially create loss to them. Since the daily interest rate system is based on the change of the date, the customers can double the nominal interest rate income. Using comparative analysis, this paper shows that the potential loss may be prevented when the bank use the metris interest rate system, which is based on the time in seconds
Continuous Method: A Flexible Solution for Metal Length Expansion Measurement in the Modern Manufacturing Industry
No full textMeasurement of metal length expansion is crucial in the modern manufacturing industry as it impacts product design, production, and performance. Current conventional method (Discrete Methods/DM) relies on an initial reference length (L0), which limits the flexibility of in-situ and continuous measurements. This study compares the accuracy and flexibility of DM with the Continuous Method (CM), an approach that potentially eliminates the need for L0 after the initial measurement. Using numerical simulations on five metals, this study analyzes calculations for estimating metal length expansion under various heating scenarios. The results show that both methods provide similar differences in metal length thermal expansion values (difference <0.0001 m), confirming their comparative accuracy. However, CM proves significantly more flexible as it allows the calculation of metal length thermal expansion estimates at arbitrary temperatures without the need to refer to L0, unlike DM, which requires L0 for consistency. This flexibility makes CM more practical for both incremental and real-time measurements, supporting the integration of automation into precision manufacturing processes. Implications for the manufacturing industry include increased efficiency of in-situ measurements, reduced reliance on initial data, and the potential for better integration with continuous quality control systems and Digital Twins
Ex-Centric Hermeneutics in Stephanus Muller's <i>Nagmusiek</i>
No full textIn this review article the author reads Nagmusiek – Stephanus Muller's monumental metafictional biography of South African composer Arnold van Wyk – as an extended allegory on the geopolitics of academic writing. She argues that the book articulates, through its unusual physical apparatus, narratological techniques and metafictional hermeneutic deconcealment, a valuable theory-in-praxis of the aporetics of peripheral writing. In so doing, Muller materializes Walter Mignolo's notion of ‘epistemic delinking’ in radically original and risky ways.</jats:p
Penerapana Audit Operasional Dalam Upaya Meningkatkan Efisiensi Dan Efektivitas Fungsi Produksi Pada PT. Tekun Karya Abadi Di Gresik
No full textDengan diadakannya persetujuan AFTA (Asean Free Trade Area) dan GATT (General Agreement on Tarif and Trade), mengakibatkan negara Negara maju dan negara-negara berkembang mengarahkan iklim perdagangan untuk lebih efisien dan kompetitif, dengan harapan, mereka dapat bersaing dalam mekanisme pasar.
Untuk menghadapi pasar persaingan yang semakin ketat dewasa ini, badan usaha berusaha untuk meningkatkan tingkat produktivitasnya agar dapat menghasilkan produk yang cukup kompetitif di pasaran. Sehubungan dengan peningkatan produktivitas tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan penilaian eftsiensi dan efektivitas atas fungsi produksi dengan cara melakukan pengendalian atas fungsi produksi tersebut.
Fungsi produksi merupakan salah satu fungsi yang terpenting dalam suatu badan usaha industri, karena fungsi produksi meliputi segala kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan menciptakan dan menambah kegunaan suatu barang. Agar fungsi produksi dapat berjalan dengan baik dan sekaligus untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan efektivitas atas fungsi produksi, maka cara yang terbaik adalah dengan melakukan suatu audit operasional atas fungsi produksi.
Dalam skripsi ini, audit operasional atas fungsi produksi dilakukan pada PT. Tekun Karya Abadi yang berlokasi di desa Cangkir, Driyorejo, Gresik. Pelaksanaan audit operasional ini dilakukan dalam tiga tahap yaitu: tahap pendahuluan, tahap pemeriksaan mendalam, dan tahap pelaporan. Tahap pendahuluan bertujuan mengidentifikasikan berbagai permasalahan yang ada dalam badan usaha, dengan cara mengumpulkan informasi dari pihak manajemen. Tahap pemeriksaan mendalam bertujuan untuk menganalisis berbagai macam permasalahan yang memerlukan penanganan lebih lanjut. Tahap pelaporan bertujuan untuk melaporkan temuan-temuan yang didapat dari pelaksanaan audit operasional.
Dalam tahap audit mendalam diperoleh berbagai temuan yaitu: badan usaha tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan distributor secara tepat waktu apabila distributor memesan dalam jumlah yang cukup besar. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pola perencanaan dan penjadwalan produksi yang kurang sistematis, keterlambatan pengiriman bahan baku dari supplier, kurangnya komunikasi antara bagian penjualan dengan bagian produksi, serta factor mesin.
Dari berbagai temuan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa badan usaha tersebut perlu melakukan suatu audit operasional atas fungsi produksinya untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan efektivitas fungsi produksi.
Audit operasional ini dilakukan dengan disertai tanggung jawab untuk membantu manajemen dalam menyelesaikan berbagai masalah yang dihadapinya dengan merekomendasikan berbagai tindakan perbaikan yang diperlukan, sehingga pada akhirnya akan membantu badan usaha untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan efektivitas fungsi produksinya.
Dalam penulisan skripsi ini tujuan yang ingin dicapai adalah untuk mengetahui penerapan audit operasional atas fungsi produksi pada suatu badan usaha, untuk menunjukkan pentingnya efisiensi dan efektivitas atas fungsi produksi bagi suatu badan usaha dan untuk memberikan saran kepada pimpinan badan usaha dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi
The observations of a voyager: Stephanus Hanewinckel on the dialects of the Meijerij
No full textThis paper describes the relatively unknown genre of the travelogues, travel journals in which a dilettante anthropologist author presents information about unknown cultures and regions. Some of these travelogues contain linguistic information that is overlooked so far. In this paper a Dutch author of printed travel journals, Stephanus Hanewinckel, will be introduced. His early dialectological remarks and data will be presented and analyzed. Moreover the history of the Parable of the Prodigal Son as a sample text for dialect comparison will be discussed. The article ends with an edition of Hanewinckel’s early 19th century version of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in a Dutch dialect from the province of North Brabant
Comparison Simulation Analysis of the Gradual Summation of a Function with Recognition of Direct Extrapolation Via IN Series
No full textA set of data pattern that have the characteristic of a function can be approached using Newton series simulation. When using the Newton series, the simulation result of the summation of extrapolation data can be gradually done in step by step. However, if using the IN series, the simulation result of the summation of extrapolation data doesnt need to be gradually done in step by step. The methodology in this research compares the data pattern from the simulation results of the high degree function with the results of interpolation and extrapolation from the results of the IN series simulation. Futhermore, will be carried out comparison simulation analysis of the summation of the function values gradually with the extrapolation function directly using the IN series. The result of comparison simulation analysis point out that the value of the total summation of data between the gradual and the direct summation is the same, so that the direct sum technique using the IN Series is able to make the total sum process more efficient
Effective Solutions for Moving Objects in Acceleration Functions and Their Reflections Using Goen's Distance Formula
No full textGoen's distance formula effectively calculates the distance from acceleration, which has a pattern as a symmetric function of time changes. In Goen's distance formula, where the acceleration function against time has a symmetric pattern, it can be solved simply by performing a total integral and multiplying it by half of the total time. Symmetric acceleration functions can be constructed by combining certain functions with their reflections. In this study, the method of proving Goen's distance formula is carried out mathematically using single and double-level average integrals of symmetric functions. The advantage of Goen's distance formula compared to the conventional distance formula is that in finding the distance traveled by an object moving with a symmetric acceleration function, it will be more effective because it is sufficient to perform an integral once compared to having to do two integrals as done in the conventional method.Formula jarak Goen adalah formula yang efektif untuk menghitung jarak dari percepatan yang mempunyai pola sebagai fungsi simetri terhadap perubahan waktu. Pada formula jarak Goen dimana fungsi percepatan terhadap waktu berpola simetris dapat diselesaikan cukup dengan sekali integral total kemudian dikalikan dengan setengah dari waktu total. Fungsi percepatan simetris dapat dibangun dari gabungan antara fungsi tertentu dengan cerminannya. Dalam penelitian ini metode pembuktian formula jarak Goen dilakukan secara matematis menggunakan integral rerata bertingkat satu dan dua dari fungsi simetris. Keunggulan dari formula jarak Goen dibandingkan dengan formula jarak konvensional adalah dalam mencari jarak tempuh benda yang bergerak dengan fungsi percepatan simetri akan lebih efektif karena cukup sekali melakukan integral dibandingkan harus dua kali integral seperti yang dilakukan cara konvensional
