El bautizo de Aida Lucía, sobre la afrorreparación
No full textRESUMEN: Las huellas de la esclavización a la que fue sometida una parte de la población africana durante la trata esclavista desatada a partir de la conquista de América por los europeos, pueden ser aún visibles desde diferentes perspectivas. En el marco de los Estudios del Caribe, esas huellas pueden extenderse hasta el Pacífico colombiano, lugar donde se centra este texto. Aida Lucía Angulo Díaz es una bebé nacida en Buenaventura, el más importante puerto comercial sobre el Pacífico colombiano, y al ser la autora nombrada su madrina de bautizo, este hecho le permite poner en análisis la multiplicidad de elementos que hacen complejos los procesos de reparación de la memoria africana de los ancestros de su ahijada y su entorno social. El texto es un análisis de hasta qué punto es posible la afrorreparación en una población de clara descendencia africana, en la que también elementos culturales de las sociedades que los han marginado, como el bautizo católico, están fuertemente arraigados en ellos. Al ser el bautizo católico una práctica cultural propia de las sociedades europeas, el texto constituye un juego entre lo simple y lo complejo, entre lo inmediato y los procesos de larga duración, entre el presente y el pasado, entre lo académico y lo cotidiano, entre los intereses propios y los ajenos. Por eso este es también un texto de carácter auto reflexivo, al estar inevitablemente la autora inmersa dentro de toda esa complejidad a la que se refiere en su análisis.ABSTRACT: The treads of the slavery that suffered a portion of the African population during the slavers’ trade arose since the conquer of America by the Europeans, can be apparent from different views. In the background of the Caribbean Studies, those treads can extend to the Colombian Pacific, place where this paper is focused. Aida Lucía Angulo Díaz is a baby girl born in Buenaventura, the most important commercial harbour over the Colombian Pacific region, and being the author named her godmother, this fact allows her to put in an analysis the multiplicity of elements that make complex the reparation processes of the African memory of the ancestors of her goddaughter and her social environment. The text is an analysis about how much is possible the African reparation in a population with a clear evidence of African roots, where also cultural elements of the societies that have excluded them, as the catholic baptism, are strongly established in them. Being the catholic baptism a cultural practice that belongs to the European societies, the text constitutes a game between the simple and the complex, between the immediate and the long terms’ processes, between the present and the past, between the academic and the quotidian, between the own interests and the somebody’s else. That’s because this is also a text of auto reflexive kind, being the author unavoidably immerse in all that complexity that she refers in her analysis.Pregrad
Comparison of Tooth Size Discrepancy of Three Main Ethnics in Malaysia with Bolton's Ratio
No full textThe objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of Bolton's ratios in orthodontic population of Malaysian main ethnics; Malay, Chinese and Indians. Ninety convenient samples consisting of 30 pre-orthodontic study casts from each ethnic that fits the inclusion criteria were selected. The greatest mesiodistal widths of each tooth from six to six for overall ratio and three to three for anterior ratio were measured using a digital callipers linked to Hamilton Arch Tooth System software to the nearest 0.01mm. Means of the ratios were calculated using Bolton analysis. One sample t-test statistic analysis was carried out to compare the means with Bolton values of anterior ratio and overall ratio and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze comparison between ethnic groups of the anterior ratio and the overall ratio with the level of statistical significance set at p < 0.05. However, there were no significant differences when comparing Bolton values with Chinese and Indian anterior and overall ratios. The Bolton standards could be applied to Malaysian Chinese, Indians and Malay's female. Subsequently, a specific standard should be used for the Malays orthodontic population.Article URL : http://www.ukm.my/jsm/pdf_files/SM-PDF-41-2-2012/17%20Aida%20Nur%20Ashikin.pd
Device characterization based on stressor, geometric and process design considerations of fet technology / Nurul Aida Farhana Othman
No full textThe downscaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device has been tremendously feasible in the past couple of decades. This action has led to a constant escalation of devices count in a dense integrated circuit, hence an outstanding application of Moore’s law to the industry especially in semiconductor sector. Nevertheless, the reduction in the sizing of features has bound to become an issue in providing excellent performance in CMOS circuits particularly in drive current maintenance and operating speed efficiency. Therefore, designers have proposed several solutions to replace the conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) designs such as the implementation of strain/stress engineering technology, introduction of multi-gated MOSFET, adoption of group IV and III-V semiconductors into the device structure, and scaling specification validated with statistical techniques and numerical methods. This work presents a comprehensive simulation study and optimization analysis to study the impacts of stressor, geometric and process design considerations on novel FET devices, i.e. fin shaped FET (FinFET) and heterostructure FET (HFET), for low and high power applications, respectively. A technology computer-aided design (TCAD) based tools, i.e. Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD is used to demonstrate the design structures and analysis on the investigated FET devices. The impact of specific parameters selection on the device performance are considered based on standard CMOS manufacturing trends in recent years.
The implementation of germanium (Ge) and aluminium nitride (AlN) in 7 nm FinFET and gallium nitride (GaN) based HFET, respectively, as the stressor effects has allowed the adjustment of threshold voltage roll-off behaviour without dramatically degrading the device drive current. The incorporation of stress inside the channel layer can increase the drain current by ~110% and ~57% for p- and n-FinFET, respectively. For GaN based HFET, insertion of AlN as the interfacial layer with high Al mole fraction in the barrier can increase the current up to 48% and improve the mobility as well as carrier confinement. Besides that, device performances were explored through varied geometric and process design parameters of a certain range of values. The devices were electrically characterized by studying the current-voltage relation and several figure-of-merits were extracted to study the impacts of these design consideration. This work shows that both geometric and process considerations are affecting the FET performances with similar importance. An optimization process is also conducted onto the 7 nm Ge based FinFET by optimizing the fin geometry. Taguchi method and Pareto analysis of variance were implemented in order to achieve the best possible design for each specification and response with respect to threshold voltages, drive currents, and subthreshold leakages. The analysis shows that the device geometry designs are highly affecting device performances especially the gate length, top fin width, and the interaction of both for n- and p-FinFET by more than 50%. Since the geometries are related to each other in performance improvements, it is important to choose the most nominal design for threshold and current trade-offs achievements.
In conclusion, this work has characterized the impact of group IV and III-V stressor on the FET devices and considering the geometrical and process design, producing simulation results which were in qualitative agreement with published results by other researchers. It is important to understand and simulate accurately the effects of specific parameter selections in the initial design phase to guarantee the optimal operation and limitation of devices in order to realize acceptable CMOS performance for particular chip specifications

Contemporary Art in Japan and Cuteness in Japanese Popular Culture
No full textThis thesis is an art historical study focussing on contemporary Japan, and in particular the artists Murakami TakashL Mori Mariko, Aida Makoto, and Nara Yoshitomo. These artists represent a generation of artists born in the 1960s who use popular culture to their own ends. From the seminal exhibition 'Tokyo Pop' at Hiratsuka Museum of Art in 1996 which included all four artists, to Murakami's group exhibition 'Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture' which opened in April 2005, central to my research is an exploration of contemporary art's engagement with the pervasiveness of cuteness in Japanese culture.
Including key secondary material, which recognises cuteness as not merely something trivial but involving power play and gender role issues, this thesis undertakes an interdisciplinary analysis of cuteness in contemporary Japanese popular culture, and examines howcontemporary Japanese artists have responded, providing original research through interviews with Aida Makoto, Mori Mariko and Murakami Takashi. Themes examined include the deconstruction of the high and low in contemporary art; sh6jo (girl) culture and cuteness; the relation of cuteness and the erotic; the transformation of cuteness into the grotesque; cuteness and nostalgia; and virtual cuteness in Japanese science fiction animation, and computer games.

The relationship between motivation and level of job performance among support staff in public sector organization in Bandar Temerloh, Pahang / Alyna Aida Mohamed Noor and Nor Hidayah Othman
No full textThe purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between motivation and level of job performance among support staff in public sector organization in Bandar Temerloh, Pahang. This correlational research used a stratified disproportionate sampling technique and the sample size was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size table. Questionnaires were distributed to 186 respondents who work as support staff in selected organization, adopted from Rigsrevisionen's Employee Performance Review "Interview Questionnaire", Science Motivation Questionnaire and Intrinsic Motivation Inventory Questionnaire. The response rate was 64.52%. The questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 18 to determine the result. The findings show that there was a strong relationship between motivation and level of job performance (r=0.552, p=0.01). Other than that, motivation does improve job performance, r=O.475 for intrinsic and r=0.492 for extrinsic. There is moderate level of job performance, (Mean=4.1708) and the majority of the respondents believed that extrinsic motivation (position, salary, and reward) is the major factors that contributed to their level of job performance, r=0.492. It is recommended that employee should seek what factors that can motivate them and employers should offer extrinsic motivation. Future research should study top management or middle management, take larger number of respondents, find other factors that can influence the level of job performance and conduct in different setting. It will be interesting to compare the differences of level of job performance between various levels of management in an organization
