REALISME SOSIALIS DALAM NASKAH DRAMA BEN GO TUN KARYA SAINI KM PERSPEKTIF GEORG LUKACS
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memaknai realisme sosialis dalam naskah drama Ben Go Tun karya Saini KM berdasarkan sosiologis sastra didukung oleh pendekatan struktural naskah drama yang terdiri oleh unsur tokoh, alur, latar, dan dialog. Naskah drama Ben Go Tun adalah karya sastra yang memperlihatkan upaya pembebasan diri dari bentuk kepalsuan dan kesadaran terhadap hegemoni kekuasaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan sejak bulan November 2019 hingga Juli 2021.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Peneliti menggunakan teori struktural drama Soediro Satoto yang meliputi tokoh, alur, latar, dan dialog. Kemudian, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan realisme sosialis Georg Lukacs yang didasarkan oleh lima aspek, yaitu realitas obyektif, gerak dialektis, materialisme historis, refleksi artistik, dan ungkapan kritis emansipatoris. Adapun makna realisme sosialis disampaikan melalui yang pertama, pandangan politis dari para tokoh yang menyoroti keadaan ekonomi dan kekuasaan. Kedua, penilaian terhadap kelompok sosial dari para seniman yang menyoroti estetika perasaan. Ketiga kesenjangan kelas sosial dari tokoh kecil yang menyoroti bentuk kehidupan, dan keempat, bentuk pemberontakan terhadap peristiwa bersejarah yang dialami pengarang dalam mengungkapkan kesadaran untuk kehidupan di masa depan.
This study aims to interpret socialist realism in the play Ben Go Tun by Saini KM based on sociological literature supported by a structural approach to the drama script consisting of elements of character, plot, setting, and dialogue. Ben Go Tun's drama script is a literary work that shows an effort to free oneself from falsehood and awareness of the hegemony of power. This research was conducted from November 2019 to July 2021.
This research uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The researcher uses the structural theory of Soediro Satoto's drama which includes characters, plot, setting, and dialogue. Then, this research uses Georg Lukacs socialist realism approach which is based on five aspects, namely objective reality, dialectical movement, historical materialism, artistic reflection, and emancipatory critical expression. The meaning of socialist realism is conveyed through the first, the political views of the figures who highlight the state of the economy and power. Second, the assessment of the social groups of the artists who highlight the aesthetic feeling. The third is the social class gap of the minor characters who highlight the form of life, and the fourth, the form of rebellion against the historical events experienced by the author in expressing awareness for future life
A Comparative Study on Class Characteristics of Devanãgri Script Writers from Three Different States of India
No full textIndia is a multilingual country. Hindi is the national language of India and Devanãgri script is used to write Hindi language. Various documents with legal value are made in Devanãgri script, which may be questioned for their authenticity and authorship. Sufficient research has been done and reported about different scripts. However, researches based on Devanãgri script are limited. This study focuses on finding the significant class characteristics of writers from three different states of India, namely, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. The data was also statistically analysed using Pearson’s Chi-Square test for its significance. Handwriting samples from 300 subjects were collected from three different states of India to analyze various class characteristics in Devanãgri script. The samples were examined qualitatively and statistically. Various general characteristics were selected for the analysis and characteristic features were tabulated after qualitative examination. Statistical analysis showed that the data was statistically significant. The general characteristics selected for the analysis and comparison of the handwriting samples in Devanãgri script were found to be significant. The impact of regional scripts on the Devanãgri script should be performed, as the influence of regional language could be seen in the samples collected from Punjab
Trunk Velocity-Dependent Light Touch Reduces Postural Sway during Standing
No full textLight Touch (LT) has been shown to reduce postural sway in a wide range of populations. While LT is believed to provide additional sensory information for balance modulation, the nature of this information and its specific effect on balance are yet unclear. In order to better understand LT and to potentially harness its advantages for a practical balance aid, we investigated the effect of LT as provided by a haptic robot. Postural sway during standing balance was reduced when the LT force (~ 1 N) applied to the high back area was dependent on the trunk velocity. Additional information on trunk position, provided through orthogonal vibrations, further reduced the sway position-metric of balance but did not further improve the velocity-metric of balance. Our results suggest that limited and noisy information on trunk velocity encoded in LT is sufficient to influence standing balance. © 2019 Saini et al.

Effect of substrates on covalent surface modification of graphene using photosensitive functional group
No full textGraphene has gained much significance for its potential applications in optics and electronics owing to its unique physical and chemical properties. Nevertheless, its gapless band structure greatly limits its wider application in opto-electronic devices. The present study seeks to explore chemical functionalization as an effective method to tune the properties of graphene. Covalent modification of graphene.by aryl diazonium salt of a photosensitive functional group (azobenzene) has been used to achieve this goal. This is based on the fact that graphene is a two-dimensional, atomically thin lattice of sp(2)-bonded carbon atoms, therefore, its properties can be modulated by modifying the underlying dielectric surface with a self-assembled monolayer resulting in doping control. In the study, a clear difference in the rate of electron-transfer reactions with the photosensitive functional group is shown for monolayer graphene supported on SiO2/Si substrates and organic molecule functionalized SiO2/Si substrates. Graphene supported on SiO2/Si is more reactive towards functionalization than graphene on organic molecule functionalized surfaces, as shown by Raman spectroscopy. The transport characteristics of functionalized graphene on conventional SiO2/Si substrates as well as substrates modified with organic molecule octadecyltrichlorosilane self-assembled monolayers are also explored and compared.Metallurgy & Metallurgical EngineeringSCI(E)[email protected]

No full textThe Illuminator: Energy system development kit
No full textEngineering has a significant cultural component in addition to its widespread perception as an engine of innovation and economic growth. This cultural component corresponds to how users and communities react or adapt to technological innovations and their influence on the advancement of such innovations. Hence, it is critical to prioritize the social aspect as much as the technical aspect of the energy transition.With the fast-growing world and its energy demand, it becomes necessary to shift renewable energy-producing technologies to keep this planet habitable. But during the transition, it is essential to maintain the flexibility, reliability, availability, and robustness of the current energy system. With multiple actors involved in the energy system, it becomes inevitable to have a united front to make an effective transition and offer holistic solutions to the challenges. For this, communication among them is important.This thesis has contributed to developing a toolkit catering to the cultural component of engineering and bringing different actors in the energy system to the same platform. It takes the route of co-simulation and modelling of energy system components. The modular and user-centred design of the toolkit helps to educate the communities to increase their acceptance of renewables, educate students about recent changes in the energy system, and foster communication among domain experts by simulating the challenges of energy transition and system integration. Illuminator's table top approach makes it easy for users to operate and understand the energy system demonstrations.The outcomes show example demonstrations simulated for a specific group of users by leveraging Illuminator's modularity, table top approach, and scalability.Electrical Engineering | Sustainable Energy Technolog
