It gives an account of the establishment of the Soni Ventorum's recording career, their approach to sound and ensemble, their many tours, participation in festivals and competitions, and personnel. The study details the Soni Ventorum's collaborations with colleagues at the University of Washington School of Music, especially the many composers who wrote pieces for the group. One chapter covers ensemble pieces that have been written for the members of the Son! Ventorum Wind Quintet, while another presents wind quintet and quartet arrangements that were prepared by the quintet members themselves. The final chapter provides biographies of the members of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet.The Introduction to the study is a brief history of wind quintets. The study concludes with detailed appendices cataloguing the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet's repertoire, concerts, residencies, tours and a complete discography.At the time of this writing, the author is aware of no other work detailing the history of an established wind quintet
Budaya Tertib Berlalu-Lintas Kajian Fenomenologis atas Masyarakat Pengendara Sepeda Motor di Kota Bandung
No full textLemahnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap peraturan berlalu-lintas terlihat dari rendahnyatingkat kedisiplinan masyarakat dalam berkendara, sehingga melahirkan budaya tidak disiplin pada masyarakat. Kurang sadarnya masyarakat dalam hukum berlalu-lintas dapat dilihat dalam perilaku seperti semakin meningkatnya pelanggaran lalu lintas oleh pengendara motor. Hal tersebut dapat diketahui dari banyaknya pelnggaran rambu lalu lintas di kota Bandung pada tahun 2014 dengan jumlah 39.205 pelanggaran (Sumber: Polwiltabes Kota Bandung, 2015). Perilaku ketidakdisiplinan masyarakat dalam berlalu-lintas seperti mengendarai kendaraan melebihi batas kecepatan yang ditentukan, menerobos lampu lalu lintas, melewati marka pembatas jalan, tidak melengkapi alat keselamatan seperti halnya tidak menggunakan helmet, spion, lampu-lampu kendaraan, ketidaklengkapan surat-surat kendaraan bermotor, tidak taat membayar pajak, menggunakan kendaraan tidak layak pakai. Pelanggaran lalu lintas yang sering terjadi juga melibatkan cara pengendara yang “menerabas antrian kendaraan, berkendara zigzag dengan kecepatan tinggi, beberapa kali pernah menerabas lampu lalu lintas, dan melanggar rambu yang dilarang menikung†(Hendratno, 2009:499). Jurnal ini berupaya untuk menjelaskan secara literatur dan field research terhadap permasalahan budaya tertib berlalu-lintas, dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Kata kunci: Budaya Berlalu-Lintas, Sikap Disiplin, Fenomenologis

No full textThis paper is based on the traditional weaving as one of the handicrafts of the people in the area is believed to be able to take a role in it. The scope of tourism is chosen because tourism is an industrial sector that is quick yielding and opens up new opportunities for the tourism industry in the Lake Toba region, which has only focused on nature tourism. The approach used in this study is a Cultural Resources Management (CRM) with the mindset that traditional weaving and inheritance aspects are aimed at empowering the economy in order to provide sustainable community benefits. The analysis was carried out qualitatively with an ethnographic study approach. This study seeks to see and reveal whether traditional weaving-based cultural tourism has economic value, because it contains the concept of preservation and cultural inheritance, economics, education, and based on community empowerment. This research also see the weaving potential mapped in its distribution correlated with tourist objects that have been seeded by the North Tapanuli Regional Government resulting in clusters that can be developed into tourism packages oriented to market demand, without ignoring the empowerment of local communities. Although weaving is believed to be able to increase the tourism market in Sibandang Island, there are still a number of obstacles, namely in the fields of promotion, strengthening of weaving crafts, and the creation of tourism conscious communities. The root of the problem of the three obstacles is the lack of public awareness of the Ulos Sibandang weaving as one of the cultural artifacts that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The Performing Arts in Ancient Java: Historical and Archaeological Studies
No full textThis research was conducted to investigatesthe development of performing arts through historical and archaeological evidence, including inscriptions, temple reliefs, literary texts, and performing arts artifacts. This research aims to explore the cultural significance of the performing arts in ancient Java and how the influence of Hindu-Buddhist culture transformed traditional art forms into more structured and complex ones. This focus emerges from the limited understanding of how performing arts shaped and reinforced social solidarity in Javanese society. This research employs historical methodology with a qualitative descriptive approach. This method includes four main stages: (1) Heuristics collection data from written sources (inscriptions, kakawin, and historical texts) and unwritten sources (artifacts and temple reliefs); (2) Criticism to evaluate the authenticity and credibility of sources through external and internal criticism; (3) Interpretation to analyze the meaning and relationship between historical data; and (4) Historiography to compile a coherent historical story. The results show that the performing arts in ancient Java, such as wayang and gamelan, developed rapidly through the adaptation of Hindu-Buddhist values. Wayang, which was originally a medium for ancestral worship, transformed into a means of entertainment and a medium for delivering Indian epics such as the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Reliefs on temples such as Borobudur and Prambanan illustrate the integral role of dance and music as an important part of the social and religious life of ancient Javanese society. In addition, the art of comedy has also developed as entertainment that conveys moral messages and enlivens the social atmosphere

PULSE-SMART: Pulse-Based Arrhythmia Discrimination Using a Novel Smartphone Application
No full textCo-author Apurv Soni is a medical student in the MD/PhD Program at UMass Medical School.BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and dangerous rhythm abnormality. Smartphones are increasingly used for mobile health applications by older patients at risk for AF and may be useful for AF screening. OBJECTIVES: To test whether an enhanced smartphone app for AF detection can discriminate between sinus rhythm (SR), AF, premature atrial contractions (PACs), and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). METHODS: We analyzed two hundred and nineteen 2-minute pulse recordings from 121 participants with AF (n = 98), PACs (n = 15), or PVCs (n = 15) using an iPhone 4S. We obtained pulsatile time series recordings in 91 participants after successful cardioversion to sinus rhythm from preexisting AF. The PULSE-SMART app conducted pulse analysis using 3 methods (Root Mean Square of Successive RR Differences; Shannon Entropy; Poincare plot). We examined the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy of the app for AF, PAC, and PVC discrimination from sinus rhythm using the 12-lead EKG or 3-lead telemetry as the gold standard. We also administered a brief usability questionnaire to a subgroup (n = 65) of app users. RESULTS: The smartphone-based app demonstrated excellent sensitivity (0.970), specificity (0.935), and accuracy (0.951) for real-time identification of an irregular pulse during AF. The app also showed good accuracy for PAC (0.955) and PVC discrimination (0.960). The vast majority of surveyed app users (83%) reported that it was "useful" and "not complex" to use. CONCLUSION: A smartphone app can accurately discriminate pulse recordings during AF from sinus rhythm, PACs, and PVCs.MD/Ph
