No full textAnotācija
Latviešu dramaturģijā atbilstīgi simbolisma estētikai neviens tik daudzveidīgi kā
Rainis nav izmantojis folkloras materiālus, kas ļāva autoram ar pazīstamo mitoloģisko
sižetu un tēlu palīdzību risināt gan filozofiskus, gan metafizikas rosinātos jautājumus,
pārkāpjot tautu robežas un ieejot vispārcilvēcisko problēmu pasaulē. Līdz ar to politiskās
atskaņas, vēsturisku personību tēli un notikumu atspulgi mijiedarbojoties konturē plašu
pagātnes kultūrtelpu.
No 13 Raiņa pabeigtajām lugām diaboliskie tēli izmantoti piecās: „Uguns un nakts”,
„Mīla stiprāka par nāvi”, „Rīgas ragana”, „Spēlēju, dancoju” un „Ilja Muromietis”, kur
Velns vai ragana darbojas epizodiskās ainās, vai arī šiem tēliem tiek piešķirta galvenā loma.
Raiņa arhīvā ir arī vairākas aizsāktas lugas par mitoloģiskām tēmām, kurās Velnam būtu
ierādīta viena no centrālajām vietām.
Atslēgas vārdi: Rainis, simbolisms, diaboliskie tēli.Annotation
In Latvian drama in the aesthetics of symbolism, no one has employed folklore materials
as diversely as Rainis, thus with the use of familiar mythological plots and characters the author
was able to address not only philosophical, but also issues stemming from metaphysics,
crossing the borders of peoples and entering the world of general human problems. This way,
the interplay of political aftermath, figures of historical personalities and events outline a wide
cultural space of the past.
Diabolic characters are employed in five out of the 13 complete plays by Rainis: "Uguns
un nakts", "Mīla stiprāka par nāvi", "Rīgas ragana", "Spēlēju, dancoju" and "Ilja Muromietis",
where the Devil or a witch is present in episodic scenes or these characters are selected as
protagonists. In Rainis' archive, there are several unfinished plays concerning mythological
themes, in which the Devil would be assigned one of the central parts.
Key words: Rainis, symbolism, Diabolic characters

Pemodelan ruangan pelbagai jenis kegagalan cerun menggunakan rangkaian saraf buatan (ANN) di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
No full textThis paper discusses the modeling of various types of slope failure using the artificial neural network (ANN) in Penang. Slope failure areas identified by field trips. However, the existing models do not categorize the various types of slope failure, therefore the model to be developed will categorize a variety of types of slope failure has occurred The objective of the study is to model various types of slope failure using an artificial neural network (ANN). A total of 12 variables that influence the occurrence of slope failure is used to develop spatial model of slope failure. Among the factors are distant from slope failure to road, distant from slope failure to river, distant from slope failure to lineament, lithology, land use, soil series, average annual rainfall, slope aspect, slope steepness, topographic elevation (DEM), the curvature of the slope and vegetation index. The results of this study show a satisfactory performance in which the accuracy of the original model is 76.63%. The performance of the model is evaluated using independent data set of 20%, and the accuracy of 73.85%

A PostgreSQL/PostGIS Implementation for the Sightseeing Tour Planning Problem
No full textThis article discusses a procedure for finding the best multi stops route for sightseeing tour through a road network. The procedure involves building a database containing nodes and road network in PostgreSQL, calculating the shortest distance between a pair of nodes using pgDijkstra module, and solving the tour problem using a function written in PL/pgSQL. The function was developed based on the Nearest Insertion Algorithm for solving the Travelling Salesman Problem. The algorithm inserts a sightseeing attraction (node) at the best position in the existing route, which is between a pair of nodes that yields the minimum difference between the total tour time before and after the new node was inserted. The test result shows that the function can solve the problem within acceptable runtime for web application for total destination nodes of 22. It is concluded that the whole procedure was suitable for developing Web GIS application that solve the sightseeing tour planning problem
