ANOMALOUS OCEANIC CONDITIONS IN THE TROPICAL INDIAN OCEAN DURING 2006 AS REVEALED BY MULTI-SATELLITE SENSORS
No full textA positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) took place in the tropical Indian Ocean during 2006. The evolution of this event started in July 2006 and intensified during August 2006. It was indicated by negative sea surface temperature anomalies, lower than normal sea level and supressed convection in the southeastern equatorial Indian Ocean in contrast to western counterpart. Peak negative SST anomalies exceeding 1°C were observed in the eastern basin during September-November coinciding with anomaous easterly winds along the equator and strong southeasterly winds along the coast of Sumatra and Java. The expression of this positive IOD was also seen in other physical variables: negative sea surface height anomalies about 30 cm and negative rainfall anomalies exceeding 8 mm/day were observed in the eastern basin. The events was terminated in December 2006 mainly due to warming of the eastern pole. The magnitude of this event determined by the east-west temperature gradient across the tropical Indian Ocean was the third largest in the last 30 years, after 1997 and 1994 events
Variability Of Satellite-Observed Sea Surface Height In The Tropical Indian Ocean: Comparison Of Eof And Som Analysis
No full textWeekly sea surface height (SSH) in the tropical Indian Ocean (20°S - 20°N) was analyzed for the period of January 1993 - December 2007 using an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) and a self-organizing maps (SOM) analysis. The EOF analysis identifies four patterns and three of them are contained in the SOM patterns. The SOM, on the other hand, characterizes the sea level variability, which shows twenty-five patterns. The patterns with low (high) sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) in the southern (northern) hemisphere associated with the monsoonal winds dominate the variation in both two methods. The SOM is also able to separate typical patterns associated with the ENSO and or the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. Low SSHA occupied the western half of the basin while high SSHA loaded in the eastern basin when the La Niña event is taking place. The El Niño event is characterized by low SSHA in the northern hemisphere, along the equator and along the eastern boundary, while high SSHA in the southwestern part of the basin. The IOD event shows a dipole like pattern with low SSHA in the east and high SSHA in the west. When the IOD co-occurred with El Niño, a distinct dipole pattern is clearly observed
VARIABILITY OF SATELLITE-OBSERVED SEA SURFACE HEIGHT IN THE TROPICAL INDIAN OCEAN: COMPARISON OF EOF AND SOM ANALYSIS
No full textThe Role of Equatorial Oceanic Waves in the Activation of the 2006 Indian Ocean Dipole
Get PDFObservations and a linear wave model were used to evaluate the role of equatorial oceanic wave processes in affecting the evolution of the 2006 positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), focusing on the activation phase of the event. The observations indicate the presence of upwelling equatorial waves and westward near-surface zonal currents along the equator during the activation phase of the event in August 2006. These upwelling equatorial waves (negative sea surface height anomalies) and westward zonal current anomalies contributed to significant sea surface cooling in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean. The model results reveal that the upwelling equatorial waves and westward nearsurface zonal currents were mainly generated by wind-forced Kelvin waves associated with the easterly wind anomalies. On the other hand, anomalous easterly winds along the equator during June caused downwelling waves (positive sea surface height anomalies) in the off-equatorial region which propagated westward and elevated sea levels in the western region. The model further shows that a complex interplay of wind-forced and boundary-generated Rossby waves elevated sea levels in the western equatorial Indian Ocean during the activations phase of the 2006 IOD event

EVALUASI SISTEM AKUNTANSI PERSEDIAAN BAHAN BAKU PADA PT. ISKANDAR INDAH PRINTING TEXTILE SURAKARTA
Get PDFPT. Iskandar Indah Printing Textile is a company engaged in textiles and
garments. To support and develop the company's main activities PT. Iskandar
Indah Printing Textile designing some systems such as raw material inventory
systems, sales systems, purchasing systems and others. In running their raw
materials, the company should give special attention because it is one source of
continuity of the company to run its business operations.
In evaluating the procurement system and raw material of PT. Iskandar Indah
Printing Textile, author researched with observed and compared between the existing
theories with a system that has been used in that company. According to the author of
the procurement system and the expenditure of raw materials used by the company it is
good enough where there are elements of the accounting system of raw material
purchases and expenditures of the company include, the existence of a clear separation
of functions, the existing authorization of documents, the letter of the purchase order,
use the document duplex. Nevertheless, there is still some weakness among others, the
warehouse is still doing a concurrently function, the warehouse did not have evidence of
receiving the report documents, there is no document to any refund of goods from
production to warehouse parts
Remembering there are still has any weakness that the author discovered during
the conduct of research at PT. Iskandar Indah Printing Textile, the author recommends
that companies should separate the functions of receiving and storage functions, the
warehouse should add one sheet document of receipt of goods to archived reports,
should be made to the evidence warehouse returns (returns of production) so that the
production of archive documents have proof of return goods warehouse

Implementasi Pendidikan Multikultural di Yayasan Perguruan Sultan Iskandar Muda
No full textMultikultural education can simply be interpreted as a process of community
development so that they have knowledge and are able to be adaptive in the midst of a
diverse society. The main goal of multikultural education is to create multikultural
awareness in every child which in the end will be able to create social conditions based
on equal rights and respect for each group. In this paper, the author uses a qualitative
research method because this method uses data taken through observation,
documentation and interviews with school principals, teachers and students at the Sultan
Iskandar Muda College Foundation (YPSIM). To review this paper, the author uses the
theory of social interaction and multikultural education. According to Banks,
Multikultural Education is an idea, an educational reform movement and a process.
Thus, the results of the research in this paper, found that the Sultan Iskandar Muda
Education Foundation (YPSIM) has implemented multikultural education, as seen from
the integration of Multikultural Education in Religious Subjects, schools also make
facilities through the provision of houses of worship for each religion in schools, To
further strengthen the application of multikultural education in religious lessons, the
teachers create a Mutual Class program which is attended by all students, besides that
the college also celebrates Religious Holidays for all students which in its
implementation involves all students which aims to make the interaction of school
residents more intimate. and lead to mutual understanding.Pendidikan multikultural secara sederhana bisa diartikan sebagai proses
pengembangan masyarakat agar mempunyai pengetahuan dan mampu bersikap adaptif
di tengah-tengah masyarakat yang beragam. Tujuan utama pendidikan multikultural
adalah menciptakan kesadaran mulitkultur pada setiap anak yang pada akhirnya akan
mampu menciptakan kondisi sosial yang berasaskan persamaan hak dan penghargaan
bagi setiap kelompok. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian
kualitatif karena metode ini menggunakan data yang diambil melalui observasi,
dokumentasi dan wawancara terhadap kepala sekolah, gur-guru dan siswa di Yayasan
Perguruan Sultan Iskandar muda (YPSIM). Untuk mengkaji tulisan ini, penulis
menggunakan teori interaksi sosial dan pendidikan multikultural. Menurut Banks
Pendidikan Multikultural merupakan ide, sebuah gerakan reformasi pendidikan dan
proses. Dengan demikian, hasil penelitian dalam tulisan ini, menemukan bahwa
Yayasan Perguruan Sultan Iskandar muda (YPSIM)sudah melaksanakan pendidikan
yang multikultural, terlihat dari pengintegrasian Pendidikam Multikultural dalam Mata
Pelajaran Agama, sekolah juga membuat fasilitas melalui penyediaan Rumah Ibadah
Masing-Masing agama di Sekolah, untuk semakin memperkuat penerapan pendidikan
multikultural dalam pelajaran agama, para guru membuat program Kelas Kebersamaan
yang diikuti seluruh siswa-siswi, selain itu perguruan juga merayakan Hari-Hari Besar
Keagamaan seluruh siswa yang dalam pelaksanaanya melibatkan seluruh siswa yang
bertujuan untuk membuat interaksi penghuni sekolah semakin akrab dan bermuara pada
