Interrogating Indonesian New Order’S Narrative Of Gestapu: The Leftist Nobles And The Indonesian Communist Party In Umar Kayam’S Stories, Paulus Sarwoto

Kritika Kultura

Although the atrocity around the 1965 coup—better known as Gestapu, Gestok or G 30 S PKI in Indonesia—has been continually on the international humanitarian spotlight, its literary representation in Indonesia has been minimal. The strong hold of the New Order regime and their residue in the current political system must have something to do with this. Among a few vernacular writers coping with the aftermath of the tragedy but is less discussed as such is Umar Kayam. The four texts analysed in this article, “Bawuk,” “Musim Gugur Kembali ke Connecticut,” Para Priyayi and Jalan Menikung: Para Priyayi 2, interrogate the …

Monsters In The Pacific: The Philippines In The Hollywood Geopolitical Imaginary, Laurence Marvin S. Castillo

Kritika Kultura

The recent announcement of the American strategic pivot to the Asia Pacific calls for the examination of the ways by which the region, particularly its constituent states, is produced in and by the US imperialist imaginary. This essay responds to such critical imperative by analyzing the geopolitical imagination of the Philippine nation-space in the Hollywood giant monster films Pacific Rim (2013) and Godzilla (2014). The essay first discusses how the nation-state remains a crucial participant in the globalized expansion of capital, and how its participation is imagined in the realm of cinematic geopolitics. It then examines the development of the …

Optimization Of The Starch Chitosan-Based Flocculant Crosslinked By Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate On Removing Dypro 19 Textile Dye From Wastewater, Asep Nurohmat Majalis, Putri Ramadhani, Hendris Hendarsyah Kurniawan, Axel Dimaz Sanusi Pasaribu, Hafiizh Prasetia, Fitri Yuliani, Andreas Andreas, Hartati Hartati

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Dyes used in industry, especially textile dyes, are one of the water pollutants that receive much attention because they are potentially toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and generally challenging to decompose naturally. Textile dyes from wastewater can be removed through coagulation-flocculation. However, conventional coagulation-flocculation based on Fe and Al salts and synthetic polymers often leaves residual pollution. In this research, the performance of the new biopolymer-based flocculant, namely starch-ethylene glycol dimetacrylate-chitosan (SEC), which can act as coagulants and flocculants in solid-liquid separation of textile dyes, has been optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) approach. The influences of several independent variables, such …

Breast Cancer Area Identification In Mammograms Using Expectation Maximization Gaussian Mixture Model, Rizki Khoirun Nisa, Dian Kurniasari, Favorisen R. Lumbanraja, Warsono Warsono

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Breast cancer accounts for 25% of all cancer diagnoses and 16% of cancer-related deaths among women globally, with high mortality rates due to late diagnosis. Early detection relies on imaging techniques such as mammography, histopathology, and breast ultrasound, with mammography being the gold standard due to its proven to detect breast cancer, thus it is effective for breast cancer treatment. However, mammogram images often produce noise and artefacts, complicating early-stage cancer detection and emphasizing the need for advanced image processing. Clustering algorithms such as K-means and Expectation Maximization - Gaussian Mixture Model (EM-GMM) have shown potential in image segmentation. This …

A Fast Federated Learning-Based Crypto-Aggregation Scheme And Its Simulation Analysis, Boshen Lü, Xiao Song

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To solve the problem of increased computation and communication costs caused by using homomorphic encryption (HE) to protect all gradients in traditional cryptographic aggregation (cryptoaggregation) schemes, a fast crypto-aggregation scheme called RandomCrypt was proposed. RandomCrypt performed clipping and quantization to fix the range of gradient values and then added two types of noise on the gradient for encryption and differential privacy (DP) protection. It conducted HE on noise keys to revise the precision loss caused by DP protection. RandomCrypt was implemented based on a FATE framework, and a hacking simulation experiment was conducted. The results show that the proposed …

Critical Node Identification Method For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Cluster Considering Localized Features, Chenglong Shi, Xiang Hua, Dong Wang, Jinjin Zhang, Tianqi Jiang, Yuanzhang Dang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Aiming at the problem that the UAV cluster critical node identification methods focus on the global network and ignore the correlation between nodes and their local features, a critical nodes identification method for unmanned aerial vehicle cluster considering local features is proposed. An unmanned aerial vehicle cluster network model is constructed based on complex network theory. The Laplacian energy is introduced to evaluate the importance of node within two hops, and information entropy is combined to evaluate the importance of node in a specific motif to comprehensive identify the critical nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that this method identifies critical …

Optimization Of Urban Agglomeration Transportation Network Evacuation Paths, Bowei He, Chengbing Li, Shida Nie, Jialin Wang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Given the complexity of the internal transportation network structure within urban agglomerations and the presence of numerous alternative routes, this paper proposes an enhanced ant colony algorithm to address the evacuation path problem of urban agglomeration transportation networks. A comprehensive urban agglomeration transportation network model is constructed, in which the issue of virtual transfer edges within the urban scope is considered and a weighting function is constructed taking into account the travelling time cost and the transferring time cost. Optimizations are applied to the ant colony algorithm, constructing an adaptive adjustment of state transitions and an information pheromone update …

On Relationship Between Experiment And Theory In Basic Scientific Research, Changpu Sun

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Understanding how experiments in basic scientific research “confirm” theories is crucial for upholding the spirit of science and fostering technological innovation. Mr. Zhou Guangzhao conducted an in-depth discussion on this topic in his early work. This study further analyzes the issue from the perspective of the philosophy of science. We derive falsificationism from a Bayesian perspective, providing a philosophical understanding of the proper handling of the relationship between scientific theory and experiment. By examining the relationship between theory and experiment in physics, this study proposes a philosophy of science concept of progressive falsifiability, emphasizing that through Bayesian methods, experiments can …
