Performing Art and Culture Center Kawasan Terpadu Hamdan
No full textPertumbuhan penduduk yang pesat tidak sebanding dengan ketersediaan fasilitas untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat sehingga banyak tercipta kawasan kumuh di pinggiran sungai maupun di pinggiran rel kereta api. Permasalah kawasan kumuh yang dijadikan sebagai permukiman penduduk tidak memiliki ruang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pendukung masyarakat sehingga berdampak negatif dengan penurunan kualitas hidup masyarakat serta merusak rencana tata ruang kota. Salah satu kawasan kumuh di Kota Medan adalah Perkampungan Hamdan yang berada di pinggiran Sungai Deli, Kelurahan Maimun. Kondisi lingkungan yang kumuh dengan tingkat perekonomian yang tergolong rendah menjadi masalah utama di daerah ini sehingga diperlukan revitalisasi. Dengan adanya revitalisasi, Perkampungan Hamdan akan dijadikan sebagai kawasan terpadu dengan hunian yang layak, fasilitas pendukung ekonomi, fasilitas pendidikan, dan fasilitas pendukung masyarakat sehingga menjadikan kawasan yang mandiri.
Untuk menciptakan kawasan terpadu yang mandiri diperlukan peningkatan kualitas hidup masyarakat sehingga dibutuhkan sarana penunjang yang memadai, salah satunya dengan menyediakan Pusat Seni Budaya yang ditujukan sebagai wadah/sarana untuk memperkenalkan nilai-nilai seni dan budaya melalui pedidikan non-formal. Dengan adanya Pusat Seni Budaya diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kepekaan masyarakat Kota Medan akan seni budaya tradisional maupun modern sehingga masyarakat menjadi lebih kreatif dan edukatif. Pusat Seni Budaya menerapkan tema Arsitektur Kontemporer dengan prinsip menciptakan bentuk berirama dan dinamis dan menampilkan struktur atap sebagai estetika bangunan dalam perancangan serta dapat mrngintegrasikan fungsi ruang publik dengan ruang luar yang akan menciptakan citra Perkampungan Hamdan Terpadu.Rapid population growth is not proportional to the availability of facilities to meet the needs of the community so that many created slums on the edge of the river and on the railroad rail. The problem of slum areas that are used as residential areas has no space to meet the needs of the community supporters, thus negatively impacting the deterioration of the quality of life of the people and destroying the city spatial plan. One of the slums in Medan City is “Perkampungan Hamdan” located on the edge of the Deli River, “Kelurahan Maimun”. Slum environmental conditions with low economic levels are a major problem in this area, so revitalization is necessary. With the revitalization, “Perkampungan Hamdan” will serve as an integrated area with decent dwelling, economic support facilities, educational facilities, and community support facilities to make the area self-sufficient.
To create an integrated, self-contained area, it is necessary to improve the quality of life of the community so that adequate supporting facilities are needed, one of which is by providing the Center for Cultural Art which is intended as a means to introduce artistic and cultural values through informal education. With the Center of Cultural Art is expected to increase the sensitivity of the city of Medan will the art of traditional and modern culture so that people become more creative and educative. The Center of Cultural Art applies the theme of Contemporary Architecture with the principle of creating a rhythmic and dynamic form and featuring the roof structure as aesthetics of the building in the design and can integrate the function of the public space with the outer space that will create the image of “Perkampungan Hamdan Terpadu”.Skripsi Sarjan

The cephalic glands of <i>C. flavolineatus</i> and <i>C. brazili</i> showed similar patterns (Fig. 4), while the main osteological differences in the skull of these taxa (Fig. 10) were those comparatively refereed in the sections “Diagnosis” and “Comparisons”.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The epithet " <i>brazili</i> " is a patronymic honoring Vital Brazil Mineiro da Campanha (1865–1950), Brazilian scientist who discovered the specificity of snakebite serum and founded two centers of excellence in research and production of strategic biological products for public health: Instituto Butantan in 1899 and Instituto Vital Brazil in 1919. Despite being a doctor by training, Vital Brazil was among the first Brazilian researchers to be concerned with the correct identification of the snakes received at that time at Instituto Butantan. Vital Brazil was honored with some species of snakes, such as <i>Rachidelus brazili</i> Boulenger, 1908, <i>Drymoluber brazili</i> (Gomes, 1918), and <i>Bothrops brazili</i> Hoge, 1954, which we can say that is still a modest honor given his great contribution to the science.</p> <p> <b>Geographic distribution and natural history (Figs. 6, 11).</b> <i>Chironius brazili</i> is distributed in Cerrado biome of Brazil throughout the states of Goiás, Federal District, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo, from 70 up to 1360m asl (generally 700–900m asl). An apparently disjunct population of <i>C. brazili</i> occurs in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.</p> <p> A female (IVB 3290; total length 995 mm) was observed in a gallery Forest of Parque Nacional de Brasília (1022m asl), foraging around 3:00 PM over rocks on the banks of a river (T. Filadelfo, pers. comm., Fig. 11). After approximation, the specimen adopted similar behaviors mentioned by Fernandes & Hamdan (2014) for <i>C. diamantina</i>. Regarding reproductive data, a single preserved female (CHUNB 3632) had five eggs in the oviduct.</p>Published as part of <i>Hamdan, Breno & Fernandes, Daniel S., 2015, Taxonomic revision of Chironius flavolineatus (Jan, 1863) with description of a new species (Serpentes: Colubridae), pp. 97-119 in Zootaxa 4012 (1)</i> on pages 107-114, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4012.1.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/232701">http://zenodo.org/record/232701</a>

Source of the prehistoric lithic artefacts and grinding stones of Wadi el Obeiyid: petrographical and geochemical approach
No full textStone raw materials are valuable indicators of human activity and movements during the Stone Age. By analysing the physical and chemical characteristics of a lithic complex it is possible to reconstruct how the human group interacted with the environment. At the same time, the resources procurement system is a tool for measuring the living-space of an ethnic group and, consequently, of a specic culture.
These aspects become particularly interesting if we transfer the analysis onto the diachronic level, studying cultural and economic choices in eri. The system of raw material procurement is one of the most interesting aspects since rocks are xed resources, not affected by seasonal and climate changes as are water, fauna and botanical resources
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
