    KONFLIK BATIN TOKOH YUICHI TANABE PADA NOVEL 'KITCHEN' KARYA BANANA YOSHIMOTO

    No full text
    Manusia akan berusaha memutuskan pilihan terbaik dalam hidupnya. Namun pada kenyatannya manusia kerap kali menghadapi kebimbangan dalam menentukan mana keputusan yang baik atau buruk yang pada akhirnya memicu konflik batin dalam dirinya. Konflik batin sering terjadi pada diri tiap orang, contoh paling sederhana adalah ketika seseorang ingin melanjutkan tidurnya di pagi hari namun ia sadar ia harus bangun dan berangkat bekerja. Jika ia memilih tidur ia akan terlambat bekerja, jika ia memilih bangun ia akan bekerja dalam keadaan masih mengantuk. Dalam hal ini tidur disebut dengan gagasan menyenangkan sedangkan bangun untuk bekerja disebut dengan gagasan tidak menyenangkan. Gagasan mana yang akan dipilih ini tentunya memiliki konsekuensinya masing-masing. Penulis mengambil contoh konflik batin yang digambarkan secara mendetail melalui karya sastra berupa novel berjudul Kitchen karya Banana Yoshimoto. Penulis menemukan penggambaran konflik yang dialami oleh tokoh bernama Yuichi Tanabe pada novel ini. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengambilan data adalah studi literatur. Tujuan penulisan makalah ini adalah menemukan bentuk dari konflik batin yang dialami Yuichi lalu pilihan mana yang akhirnya diputuskan Yuichi ketika mengalami konflik tersebut. Ditemukan 19 data berisi konflik batin yang dialami Yuichi, dan 14 di antaranya merupakan pilihan dengan sifat tidak menyenangkan. Hal ini disebabkan Yuichi punya pengalaman traumatik karena meninggalnya Eriko, ayah kandung Yuichi yang mengubah dirinya menjadi wanita. Pada akhirnya konflik batin yang dialami Yuichi sirna karena Yuichi membuka dirinya terhadap tokoh utama novel ini yaitu gadis bernama Mikage Sakurai. ******** Humans will try to decide the best choice in life. But in reality, humans often face indecision in determining which decision is good or bad, which in turn triggers inner conflict within themselves. Inner conflict often occurs in everyone, the simplest example is when someone wants to continue sleeping in the morning but he realizes he has to get up and go to work. If he chooses to sleep he will be late for work, if he chooses to wake up he will work while still sleepy. In this case sleeping is called a pleasant idea while getting up for work is called an unpleasant idea. Which idea to choose has its own consequences. The author takes an example of inner conflict that is described in detail through a literary work in the form of a novel entitled Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. The author finds the depiction of conflict experienced by a character named Yuichi Tanabe in this novel. The method used in data collection is literature study. The purpose of writing this paper is to find the form of inner conflict experienced by Yuichi and then which choice Yuichi finally decided when experiencing the conflict. Found 19 data containing inner conflict experienced by Yuichi, and 14 of them are choices with unpleasant properties. This is because Yuichi had a traumatic experience due to the death of Eriko, Yuichi's biological father who turned into a woman. In the end, the inner conflict experienced by Yuichi disappeared because Yuichi opened himself to the main character of this novel, a girl named Mikage Sakurai

    Analysis of Amae's Behavior Reflected in the Characters of Mikage and Yuichi in the Novel "Kitchen" Works Yoshimoto Banana

    No full text
    Japan has a unique culture called "Amae" which describes the behavior of a person's dependence on others for attention and affection. This concept is explored in the novel "Kitchen" by Yoshimoto Banana. The research theory used is the moral approach and sociological aspects in the novel. In this research, the author specializes in describing amae behavior as reflected in the characters Mikage and Yuichi in the novel Kitchen and describes the lives of Mikage and Yuichi with the concept of amae. The results of the research show that amae's behavior is reflected in the characters Mikage and Yuichi and explains the lives of the characters Mikage and Yuichi with the concept of amae used by the author in the novel "Kitchen" through three sub-concepts, namely kuyami (feeling regret), toriiru (attracting attention), and tanomu (relying on oneself). These concepts show that good relationships can provide motivation and survival for the characters Mikage and Yuichi. In the novel, the concept of amae is a real example of how Japanese society interacts, influences and relates to its social environment.48 pagesSkripsi Sarjan

    Measuring preferential attachment in growing networks with missing-timelines using Markov chain Monte Carlo

    No full text
    Preferential attachment is widely recognised as the principal driving force behind the evolution of many growing networks, and measuring the extent to which it occurs during the growth of a network is important for explaining its overall structure. Conventional methods require that the timeline of a growing network is known, that is, the order in which the nodes of the network appeared in time is available. But growing network datasets are commonly accompanied by missing-timelines, in which instance the order of the nodes in time cannot be readily ascertained from the data. To address this shortcoming, we propose a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for measuring preferential attachment in growing networks with missing-timelines. Key to our approach is that any growing network model gives rise to a probability distribution over the space of networks. This enables a growing network model to be fitted to a growing network dataset with missing-timeline, allowing not only for the prevalence of preferential attachment to be estimated as a model parameter, but the timeline also. Parameter estimation is achieved by implementing a novel Metropolis–Hastings sampling scheme for updating both the preferential attachment parameter and timeline. A simulation study demonstrates that our method accurately measures the occurrence of preferential attachment in networks generated according to the underlying model. What is more, our approach is illustrated on a small sub-network of the United States patent citation network. Since the timeline for this example is in fact known, we are able to validate our approach against the conventional methods, showing that they give mutually consistent estimates

    A preferential attachment model with Poisson growth for scale-free networks

    No full text
    We propose a scale-free network model with a tunable power-law exponent. The Poisson growth model, as we call it, is an offshoot of the celebrated model of Barabási and Albert where a network is generated iteratively from a small seed network; at each step a node is added together with a number of incident edges preferentially attached to nodes already in the network. A key feature of our model is that the number of edges added at each step is a random variable with Poisson distribution, and, unlike the Barabási–Albert model where this quantity is fixed, it can generate any network. Our model is motivated by an application in Bayesian inference implemented as Markov chain Monte Carlo to estimate a network; for this purpose, we also give a formula for the probability of a network under our model

These methods allow us to reconstruct probe I − V characteristics at each time delay; that is, we can extract electron temperature and ion saturation current fluctuations in high temporal resolution without complex electronic circuits. Our method was applied to two quasi-coherent fluctuations observed in a linear magnetized plasma device, PANTA. We observed spatiotemporal structures of electron temperature and ion saturation current fluctuations. The results revealed the amplitudes and phase relation between electron temperature and density fluctuations.journal articl

    White Hole existence on the inverse universe

    No full text
    The existence of White Hole (WH) has been suggested by Schwarzschild solution to the Einstein field equation as a time-reversed Black Hole (BH), besides there has not been observational evidence for their existence yet. Our idea of the “inverse universe”, in which we introduce the time-reversed kinematics as another geometric state, can explain that WH should appear in such a geometry after a matter falls into a BH. In this work, we present a new operation for WH conversion from BH, and by using it the nearly infinity point on the universe, for instance the inside of BH, is geometrically connected to the inside of WH on the inverse universe. Such a conversion is useful to provide the simple solution to the problem of “information loss” in BH. Furthermore, we find another conversion point as the prior geometric state to the Big Bang, and we propose a new cosmology of cyclic universe

    On a Mass Movement at Ethe nd of Ming

    No full text
    In the middle of the Wanli era of Ming (from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th) there arose a series of mass movements in the area along Lake T'ai-hu, protesting against the rule of the gentry and the bureaucracy. In the writings of those officials and landlords who were involved in the event we find materials which throw a Iight on the power structure based on landownership. The author takes up one of these movements, which took place at Nanhsun-chen (南潯鎮), Wu-ch'eng-hsien (烏程縣), Hu-chou-fu (湖州府), involving a powerful clan Tung (董), and its related clan by marriage, Fan (范), and describes the causes and development of the movement, and the policy taken by these two clans toward it. After analyzing the so-called "chia-nu" or household slave system, he finds that there were two different social strata, "hao-nu" (豪奴) and "ni-nu" (逆奴). Thus, the author points out some salient features of the "nu-pien" or slave movement, which took place in the middle of the 16th century in the coastal areas and those along the Yantzu river
