The aim of this study is to investigate crustal structures from East Cameroon, using aeromagnetic data. The modeling of aeromagnetic data is conducted using the Oasis Montaj 8.0 software. The total magnetic intensity map reduced to the equator (RTE-TMI) shows important anomalies features, namely, the Northern East magnetic anomalies of high amplitude, the Southwest where very low values of the magnetic intensity were observed, and a corridor with negative values relatively high, separating the anomalies. The horizontal gradient map shows on the one hand brittle and folded structures carried out in the area of study and on the other hand various rectilinear, narrow, and short-wave anomalies that can be classified as a family of little faults. The maxima observed on the RTE-TMI maps are correlated to intrabasement contacts; and the map derived from Euler’s solutions permitted to evaluate the depth of the geological accidents observed from the other filters. This map also reveals new faults with a depth greater than 5000 m. The lineaments identified in the Southwestern part could be linked to the Pan-African orogeny and seem to correspond to deep-seated basement structures, which are referred to the tectonic boundary between Congo Craton and the Pan-African orogeny belt. A 23/4-D modeling confirmed the observations derived from the RTE-TMI and HGM maps analyses. It shows intrusive bodies composed of gneiss and porphyroid granite and some domes with their roof situated at various depths not exceeding 1800 m from the surface. The structural map of the study area shows the trending of the structural features observed, namely, NE-SW, NW-SE, ENE-WSW, and WNW-ESE, respectively, while the E-W and N-S are secondary orientation of the observed tectonic evidence. Moreover, circular anomalies observed over the area are assimilated to intrusions of high magnetic materials or to granitic domes.

The purpose of writing this research is to describe violence against the main female character in Kupu Wengi Mbangun Swarga Tulus Setiyadi's book. The formulation of the problem in this research is how the form of violence against the main female character in the novel Kupu Wengi Mbangun Swarga. The method in this research is qualitative, using the theory of feminism which focuses on the violence of the female main character. The research data is in the form of words, phrases, sentences and discourses that contain elements of violence against female characters in the novel Kupu Wengi Mbangun Swarga. The data collection technique is done by reading and recording data quotations that contain forms of violence against the female main character in the novel Kupu Wengi Mbangun Swarga. After the data is collected, data analysis techniques are carried out by reducing data, displaying data and conclusions or verification. The results showed that there were three forms of violence against female figures, namely psychological violence, physical violence and sexual violence. As for the perpetrators of oppression against the main female character, it is carried out by male and female figures.

Orahu is a tradition of deliberation which is well known in the life system of the people of South Nias, especially in the areas of Maniamölö, Onolalu, To'ene and Mazinö. Orahu is carried out in every important activity in the community, for example discussing problems related to the village, death events, weddings, Fa'ulu and Mambu Ana'a parties (ceremony to increase social status or traditional parties) and others. Orahu to a large extent is called Orahua Mbanua, and is usually performed at Ewali Sawolo or Ewali Orahua (the courtyard in front of the house of the most influential nobleman or Balö Ji'ulu). The Orahua Mbanua was followed by the Si'ulu (nobles), Si'ila (traditional leaders) and Ono Mbanua (the whole community). This research was aimed at describing as well as revealing the local wisdoms of Orahu. This research applied qualitative descriptive method. The data in this study were collected using interview techniques and literature study. The research results shows that Orahu tradition emphasizes on the solidarity and wise decision taking which become a very important aspect in the life system of Nias people. It was in this open forum that all village problems were discussed, and decided how to handle them. In ancient times, Orahu was also used as a trial and for determining punishment for violators of village customs. Orahu is usually done at the bale (village meeting hall), but to a lesser extent, it can also be carried out at home.

<p>Accurate analysis of wind characteristics for a particular site is the first step towards wind energy resource installation. In this study, the onus is to determine the wind energy potential characteristics, and the best representative probability density function, for the Abong Mbang weather station and its immediate environ. The Chi square, coefficient of determination and root mean square error were used as the discriminating goodness of fit tests. Results show that the gamma distribution is the best representative of the wind speed regime, closely followed by the Weibull distribution. We equally study the feasibility of the installation of wind turbine systems at this site based on the Weibull and the Rayleigh models. It is observed that Abong Mbang is characterized by very low wind speeds, higher shape parameters than the scale parameters and consequently very low power density values. Abong Mbang is not technically feasible for the installation of small wind turbine.</p>

Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) are one of the sectors supporting the economy of the people in the Lunang II area of Pesisir Selatan Regency. MSME in the Lunang Dua area still have several problems to compete or survive in the Industry 4.0 era. The first problem were they do not have a brand or image that is easy to recognize by potential customers. The second problem were they don’t have attractive product packaging. The third problem were they still limited marketing area. Through the activities of the team Technology Student Creativity Program (PKM T), the team carried out educational activities to partners about the importance of the brand for the product. In an effort to improve the competitiveness of MSME, especially in the Lunang Dua area, it was carried out by branding the names of MSME partners to become the Barokah MSME which later became their own identity for local, national and international marketing. To improve the quality of product packaging, the partners of the PKMT team helped design attractive packaging and can compete with competitors' products and match the characteristics of partner products. The PKM T team also built and developed a website in the form of an online shop as a means of online sales so that it expands the market from partners, namely Barokah MSME. The team also helped make Barokah's MSME social media in the form of instagram to increase sales of partner products. To increase the usefulness of this online market for partners, the team provides web and UMKM Instagram training to partners. The Barokah MSME brand and the improvement of product packaging quality and the existence of an online shop that can be operated easily by partners are expected to expand the marketing area of partner products and increase sales volume and improve the welfare of partners.

Keprakan adalah bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh cempala tangan atau cempala kaki yang dipukulkan pada kotak wayang dalam pertunjukan wayang. Keprakan menjadi bagian dari karawitan pedalangan dan memiliki peran penting dalam membangun estetika pertunjukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan memahami teknik dan pola keprakan dalam pertunjukan wayang. Data diperoleh melalui pengamatan pada dua puluh pertunjukan wayang yang dipergelarkan oleh Ki Hadi Sugito. Analisis musikal dilakukan dengan cara melihat hubungan antara keprakan dengan jenis gending dan suasana adegan yang diciptakan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa bunyi keprak memiliki dua fungsi utama, yaitu sebagai penanda atau aba-aba dari dalang kepada para pengrawit dan memberikan suasana dramatik sehingga pertunjukan terasa hidup. Pola keprakan terbentuk dari dua unsur yaitu neteg dan mlatuk. Dari dua pola ini berkembang pola permainan lainnya seperti mbanyu tumetes, ngeceg, nisir, nduduk, dan geter. Keprakan in Yogyakarta Wayang Style: A Case Study on Ki Hadi Sugito’s Wayang Performance. Keprakan is the sound produced by hand or foot cempala slapped on the puppets box in a wayang performance. Keprakan becomes part of the music for wayang and has an important role in building a performing aesthetic. This study aims to describe and understand the keprakan techniques and patterns in wayang performance. The data are obtained through observations on twenty of Ki Hadi Sugito’s wayang performances. The musical analysis is done by looking at the relationship between keprakan with the musical types and the created atmosphere scene. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the keprak sound has two main functions, namely as signs or clues from the puppet master to the musicians, and to provide a dramatic atmosphere. Keprakan pattern is formed of two elements, namely neteg and mlatuk. Of these two patterns produce other patterns such as mbanyu tumetes, ngeceg, nisir, nduduk, and geter.

L’agriculture biologique (AB) est l’un des moyens qui contribue à répondre à certains enjeux et défis du moment en termes de sécurité alimentaire et de protection de la biodiversité, de la santé du producteur et celle du consommateur, contrairement à l’agriculture conventionnelle (AC). L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser le comportement qu’affichent les producteurs d’ananas et les consommateurs vis-à-vis de l’appropriation de l’AB et la consommation de ses produits en vue de préserver la biodiversité. Une enquête réalisée par le biais de trois types de questionnaires différents a permis de toucher les producteurs d’ananas biologiques et conventionnels (111) et les consommateurs (318). Cette enquête a été suivied’un guide d’entretien (7). Elle a été menée dans le département du Moungo au Cameroun (N = 436 soit: 301 hommes et, 135 femmes; âgés entre 25 à 64 ans) plus précisément à Loum, Njombé-Penja et Mbanga. Pour mesurer l’attitude, l’étude a eu recours au modèle de Likert (1932) sous 5 échelles. La Variance et le Test de corrélation ont permis de conclure que, la protection de la biodiversité dépend majoritairement du comportement des producteurs et des consommateurs.

Après la mise en service du barrage de Diama (1985-86) et la multiplication des aménagements hydro-agricoles, il a été constaté au niveau du bassin du fleuve Sénégal un développement des trématodoses animales, particulièrement la fasciolose à Fasciola gigantica, les schistosomoses à Schistosoma bovis et à S. curassoni et la paramphistomose à Paramphistomum sp. Cette situation épidémiologique des trématodoses chez le bétail s'est manifestée par une augmentation des prévalences au niveau d'anciens foyers (Richard-Toll, Ross-Béthio, Mbane et Keur Momar Sarr). Les taux d'infestation chez les bovins sont passés de 11 à 27 %, de 20 à 30 % et de 15 à 27 % respectivement pour la fasciolose, la paramphistomose et la schistosomose. Chez les petits ruminants qui semblaient être épargnés, des prévalences de 2 à 62 % pour la fasciolose ont été enregistrées, alors que la paramphistomose, plus fréquente, avait un taux de 25 à 30 %. Parallèlement, à partir de 1989-1990 de nouveaux foyers de trématodoses sont apparus : d'une part, au niveau du delta à Tilène, Pont Gendarme et Takhembeut avec des prévalences de 3 à 20 %, 4 à 20 % et 5 à 36 % respectivement pour fa fasciolose, la schistosomose et la paramphistomose ; d'autre part, au niveau du lac de Guiers à Temeye, Thiago et Senda avec des prévalences de 5 à 86 %, 5 à 11 % et 5 à 33 % respectivement pour la fasciolose, la schistosomose et la paramphistomose.

<p>Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cases with the largest number of new cases in the world. The number of Lung Cancer in Indonesia is increasing rapidly every day until it is ranks 8th position in Southeast Asia, experiencing an increase in the last five years by 10.85 percent. This study aims to build a tool to detect lung cancer using the Deep Learning classification method with the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Algorithm. The tools that are made can be used for consideration in detecting from the results of cytological examinations, can be classified into normal (negative) and abnormal (positive) types of cancer. The experiment was carried out by performing hyperparameter optimization. The results show that the hyperparameter optimization has superior results compared to others, using the hyperparameter Gradient Boosted Regression Tree method. Experiments without hyperparameters give an accuracy value of 97%, while with the Gaussian Process it gives 98% accuracy and with a hyperparameter gradient boosted regression tree gives 99% accuracy, which is the best accuracy.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong> : Lung Cancer, Cytological Examinations, Deep Learning, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)</p><p><em>terbanyak di dunia.

The perforation plates and vessel-ray pitting of tropical hardwoods are typical features that make it possible to mark species within a botanical family. This study aims to bring out a consistent and robust framework for a clear distinction through anatomical features among various Ekop woods based on usual nomenclature on trade. Perforations plates and vessel-ray pitting are determining components for the classification of the species. Indeed, several species exploited under the trade name Ekop because of their grain, color, and wooden decoration patterns do not belong to the same taxonomic class. With the natural structure of cells and their intervessel pits observed in xylem and phloem, it appears that the perforation plates and the vessel-ray pitting are decisive components for the classification of Ekop species. Forty-three wood specimens of Ekop were collected from forests in Ebolowa, Mbalmayo, and Abong Mbang. In addition, 155 microscopic sections of Ekop slides with at least 3 representatives of identified species were observed. Thus, macroscopic observations through a hand magnifying glass were performed on wood carrots. Then, the microscopic sections of slides in the first 63 features of the International Association of Wood Anatomists list were analyzed. Correlations were observed between vessels elements and other main features through component analysis. Four groups of Ekop were differentiated by gathering in each genus a matrix of similar features across their vessels groupings, perforation plates, and vessel-ray pittings. A tabular key was used to further define the identity of the Ekop species. This study makes it possible to recognize Ekop wood beyond the dendrological aspects of vegetative and reproductive organs. Finally, a few typical features used for a precise demarcation were identified, for a taxonomic classification within the Ekop group.

AbstractThe emergence and development of Popular Culture tend to be misunderstood and disregard as a shallow culture. Due to its sensational and eccentric display, the product of Popular Culture is always considered wrong morality of what people believe as a high morality. The song, “Judas”, sung by Lady Gaga, is one of products of Popular Culture which now becomes controversy. The controversy, then, becomes wider because Gaga brings forward to show to the public Judas who in the Bible both Protestant and Catholic was the traitor and symbol of sins. The video clip of this song is also regarded as a harassment of Jesus in which full of expression of sex, violence, hedonism, and even vulgar. Now, the question is that is it true that the meaning of Judas shown by the lyrics is to blaspheme Christianity and to mislead people by using Judas as a shield? Then, what is truly the conception of sins in this song so that it becomes controversy? To find out the answer, in this paper, I will use semiotic analysis method. The method is to analyze to read the text from social perspective by using code or message (containing symbols and meaning) as the starting point, without ignoring the context and reader. Afterwards, the text of this song will be dialogued in Christi an theology, so it can be found like what the theological response to this song is. I also hope the result can show us that popular culture shown by popular music is not always shallow and vicious. However, there is ethical message and moral value which should be consideration or reflection of how the people undergo either their private live or their religion. AbstrakKemunculan dan perkembangan budaya populer di dunia cenderung disalahpahami, diabaikan bahkan dicemooh sebagai budaya yang dangkal dan murahan. Produk hiburan budaya populer sering kali disertai dengan penampilan yang sensasional dan eksentrik sehingga dianggap melenceng dari norma-norma atau moralitas hidup yang selama ini dijunjung tinggi nilainya. Lagu “Judas” yang dibawakan oleh Lady Gaga menjadi salah satu contoh produk budaya populer yang dianggap sensasional, eksentrik dan akhirnya menimbulkan kontroversi. Kontroversi tersebut semakin merebak karena Gaga menampilkan seorang tokoh Judas yang dalam Alkitab dan dalam ajaran agama baik Protestan maupun Katolik merupakan tokoh pengkhianat dan simbol dosa. Video klip dalam lagu Judas juga dinilai telah melecehkan Yesus bahkan saratdengan ungkapan seks, kekerasan dan hedonisme yang juga bebas dan vulgar. Pertanyaan yang kemudian muncul adalah apakah benar makna yang terkandung dalam lirik lagu Judas bertujuan untuk menghina agama Kristen dan bertujuan untuk menyesatkan manusia dengan menggunakan Judas sebagai tamengnya? Lalu apa sesungguhnya konsep dosa dalam lagu Judas yang sampai menimbul kontroversi di mata dunia? Untuk menemukan jawaban atas hal tersebut maka dalam tulisan ini penulis akan menggunakan metode analisis semiotika, yakni analisis yang berperan untuk membaca teks dari perspektif sosial dengan menggunakan kode dan pesan (yang mengadung simbol dan makna) sebagai titik berangkatnya, tanpa mengabaikan pengaruh konteks dan pembaca. Kemudian teks lagu Judas akan didialogkan dalam teologi Kristen sehingga dapat ditemukan seperti apa respon etis teologis atas kehadiran lagu Judas. Penulis berharap hasil yang ditemukan dapat menunjukkan bahwa budaya populer melalui musik pop ini tidak selalu menunjukkan kesesatan dan kedangkalan seperti yang dipahami kebanyakan orang, melainkan juga memuat pesan dan nilai-nilai moral etis yang seharusnya menjadi bahan perti mbangan atau refleksi manusia atas kehidupan pribadi dan agamanya.

Abstract Background Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, often fatal illness in humans and nonhuman primates caused by the Ebola virus. The recently approved rVSV-EBOV vaccine is not available in many high-risk countries hence prevention is paramount. The design of effective prevention interventions requires an understanding of the factors that expose communities at risk. It was based on this that we investigated the Baka community of Abong-Mbang Health District in tropical rain forest of Cameroon. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants randomly selected from 13 villages in Abong-Mbang by multi-stage cluster sampling. A questionnaire was administered to them to collect demographic information, data on knowledge of EVD, their feeding and health-seeking behaviour. Data was analyzed using the chi-square test. Knowledge of EVD was assessed using an 8 item Morisky Scale. An adapted Threat Capability Basic Risk Assessment Guide was used to determine their risk of exposure to infection. Results A total of 510 participants, most of whom were hunters (31.4%), farmers (29.8%), and had primary education (62.7%), were included in this study. Although 83.3% participants had heard of EVD, most (71%) did not know its cause. Their source of information was mainly informal discussions in the community (49%). Misconceptions were identified with regards to the cause and mode of transmission. Only 43.1% accepted EVD could be transmitted from human-to-human. Generally, participants’ knowledge of EVD was poor. Demographic factors such as level of education, occupation and ethnic group significantly affected knowledge of EVD. The majority of participants were at a very high risk of exposure to infection as they consumed various forms of bush meat and were involved in other risky practices such as scarification and touching of corpses. Although over half of participants seek medical care, most of them preferred traditional medicine. Socio-cultural and service-related factors were deterrent factors to medical care. Conclusion Participants generally had poor knowledge of EVD and were at high risk of infection. We recommend rigorous sensitization campaigns in the study area to educate the population on EVD and clarify the misconceptions identified. EVD surveillance is recommended particularly as outbreaks have often been reported in the Congo Basin.
