Pointing Gesture

Abstract This paper proposes a novel analysis of deictic gestures which yields a taxonomy of manual pointing. ‘Gesture form analysis’ brings into relief the diversity of pointing by considering the imaginary forms necessarily involved in interpreting a gesture. It combines into a single framework insights found in the literature on how the meaning of any gesture is enabled by a series of spatial operations leading from the physical form of the articulators to the form of the target. Seven distinct spatial operations combine to define a gesture type, twenty-seven of which are illustrated with examples from open-data corpora. Most types involve not the prototypical linear vector of pointing, but the plane of an open hand. Not only deictic, but also iconic and other functions are shown to be rooted in imaginary forms and their ability to draw attention to and specify locations, directions, areas and volumes of space.

Network Patterns

The study of street network patterns is beneficial in understanding the layout or physical form of a city. Many studies have analyzed street network patterns, but the similarity and/or difference of street network patterns across a country or region are rarely quantitatively understood. To fill this gap, this research proposes a quantitative analysis of street network patterns nationwide. Specifically, the street network patterns across a country or region were first mapped, and then the relationship between such patterns and various landscape factors (calculated based on global open data) was quantitatively investigated by employing three regression models (ordinary least squares, spatial lag model, and spatial error model). Not only the whole region of China but also its subregions were used as study areas, which involved a total of 362 prefecture-level cities and 2081 built-up areas for analysis. Results showed that (1) similar street network patterns are spatially aggregated; (2) a number of factors, including both land-cover and terrain factors, are found to be significantly correlated with street network patterns; and (3) the spatial lag model is preferred in most of the application scenarios. Not only the analytical method and data can be applied to other countries and regions but also these findings are useful for understanding street network patterns and their associated urban forms in a country or region.

Fisherman settlements are physically different to common urban settlements, because it has a uniqueness reflect to their tradition and culture. Some periodical observation has been made in Tambakmulyo fisherman settlement-Semarang shown different phenomena, which the fisherman’s urban space has visual similarity to the common open space. The settlement image has been melting away because of some unique activities has been less dominant conducted. This research has a purpose to get more understanding about the urban space transformation in both physical and socio-spatial point of views, while deductive-rationalistic approach also have been used to support research objectives. In addition, a descriptive-qualitative method has been proposed in order to reveal the urban space transformation phenomena. The urban space transformation in the fisherman settlements has been occurred, based on the physical form analysis and socio-spatial observation. Furthermore, this study has been successfully finding the urban space transformation phenomena, from the sea oriented toward the mainland, which is the fisherman unique activities are no longer dominated their urban space.

This paper aimed to explain public financial governance based on good governance implementation in Jakarta Provincial Government. This paper specifically discussed towards transparancy implementation of local budget (APBD) through open data portal that publishes budget data to public. In general, financial transparency through open data has met Transparency 2.0 standards, namely the existence of encompassing, one-stop, one-click budget accountability and accessibility. But there are indeed some shortcomings that are still a concern in order to continue to maintain commitment to the principle of transparency, namely by updating data through consistent data visualization.Transparency of public finance needs to continue to be developed and improved through various innovations to maintain public trust in the government.Keywords: Public Finance, Open Data, Transparency

The Metropolitan Police’s Crime Museum, famously known as the Black Museum, exhibits evidence from some of the most appalling crimes committed within English society from the late-Victorian era into modernity. Public admittance to this museum is strictly prohibited, preventing all but police staff from viewing the macabre exhibitions held within. The physical objects on display may vary, but whether the viewer is confronted with household items, weaponry or human remains, the evidence before them is undeniably associated with the immorality surrounding the performance of a socially bad death, of murder. These items have an object biography, they are both contextualized and contextualize the environment in which they reside. But one must question the purpose of such a museum, does it merely act as a Chamber of Horrors evoking the anomie of English society in physical form, or do these exhibits have an educational intent, restricted to their liminal space inside New Scotland Yard, to be used as a pedagogical tool in the development of new methods of murder investigation.

AbstractComputer software is a part of a computer system that has no physical form and is not visible because it is a collection of electronic data that is stored and regulated by a computer in the form of a program that can run a command. A software is a connecting bridge that connects users with hardware so that they can carry out certain commands. So, without software the computer is just a machine that cannot execute any commands from the user.Keyword : softwareAbstrakPerangkat lunak komputer adalah suatu bagian dari sistem komputer yang tidak memiliki wujud fisik dan tidak terlihat karena merupakan sekumpulan data elektronik yang disimpan dan diatur oleh komputer berupa program yang dapat menjalankan suatu perintah. Sebuah software atau perangkat lunak merupakan jembatan penghubung yang menghubungkan antara pengguna dengan hardware sehingga dapat melakukan suatu perintah tertentu. Jadi, tanpa adanya software maka suatu komputer hanyalah sebuah mesin yang tidak bisa menjalan suatu perintah apapun dari user.Kata Kuci : Perangkat Lunak Komputer

We have tested the feasibility of a method to prevent the occurrence of so-called Questionable Research Practices (QRP). A part from embedded pre-registration the major aspect of the system is real-time uploading of data on a secure server. We outline the method, discuss the drop-out treatment and compare it to the Born-open data method, and report on our preliminary experiences. We also discuss the extension of the data-integrity system from secure server to use of blockchain technology.
