Melalui artikel ini penulis membahas aspek hukum dalam kegiatan penelitian. Indonesia memiliki undang­undang nasional tentang penelitian: “Undang­Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2002 tentang “Sistem Nasional tentang Penelitian, Pengembangan, dan Penerapan Ilmu Pengetahuan & Teknologi”. Dalam kegiatan penelitian ­­ terutama penelitian yang berisiko tinggi dan berbahaya, peneliti harus tahu dan tidak bertentangan dengan etika penelitian dan/atau hukum penelitian. Peneliti bisa dihukum jika dia melawan hukum. Namun masalahnya, (1) etika penelitian berbeda dari satu tempat ke …

Tiga puluh dua tahun lalu, seorang professor dari Universitas Harvard, Amerika Serikat, Howard Gardner menulis buku Frames of Mind:  The Theory of Multiple Intelligence (1983).  Saat itu hampir semua orang menyangka bahwa intelligensi sama dengan IQ. Padahal IQ merupakan singkatan dari Inteligence Quotient, suatu alat ukur yang mengukur inteligensi. Intelligensi itu sendiri disamakan dengan kecerdasan. Orang yang ber­IQ tinggi dipandang  sebagai orang yang mempunyai banyak kesempatan untuk berhasil. Sementara orang yang ber­IQ rendah adalah yang memiliki keterbatasan untuk berha…

Pendekatan positivistik dalam ilmu pengetahuan tidak pernah hilang sama sekali. Manifestasinya dalam penelitian ilmiah dapat berupa hasrat untuk memperoleh pengetahuan objektif tanpa dipengaruhi oleh otoritas eksternal di luar bidang kajian ilmiah. Dalam konteks penelitian ilmiah, muncul keinginan di kalangan para ilmuwan agar kontrol eksternal seperti yang dilakukan komisi etika penelitian harus dibatasi bahkan dihilangkan. Kalau pun muncul lagi dalam beberapa publikasi di jurnal ilmiah akhir­akhir ini, posisi ini sebenarnya telah kehilangan pamor, bahkan juga ditolak oleh para ilmuwan sen…

Erich Fromm’s analysis of the root of violence in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness can be seen as a starting point to understand the nature of violence. He contends that violence is not existential but exists as a result of a negative condition that prohibits someone to grow according to his own choice. According to this definition, human aggression is neutral. It can be identified as defensive if it is used to save life, and as destructive one if it destroys the life itself and against the human values. Fromm explains that the progress of technology and science are the main factors t…

Following the whole process of the trial of Eichmann in Jerusalem, Hannah Arendt realised that crimes and violence (evil) done by Eichmann and the Nazi were the clues of the absence of the thoughtfulness. The question arises as to why a thoughtless man like Eichmann did such a big crime and violence against the Jews? The absence of reflective and philosophical thoughts that expels a moral agent to justify his moral deeds has become the root cause why Eichmann failed to act according to some fundamental moral principles. The trial of Eichmann was really an exposure of the banality of evil again…

Holocaust is such a traumatizing event, not only to those who had a direct contact with it such as Hannah Arendt and Viktor Frankl, but also to many people who have indirectly got to know about it through reading or watching Holocaust movies. Assuming that both Hannah Arendt and Viktor Frankl were somehow affected by such a traumatic experience, this article traces out such an effect in the works and writings of those celebrated thinkers. From the perspective personality psychopathological symptoms – traced in the life history of both – it concludes that there were no traces of postt…

The Rhythmprint authentication combines an advantage of the traditional keystroke authentication and the multi-touch technology based on a touchable device such as touchpad on a laptop, a smartphone and a tablet. With the Rhythmprint authentication, the user is less likely to suffer from shoulder surfing and eavesdropping attacks. This research provides empirical evidence to verify the security performance of the Rhythmprint authentication comparing to the traditional keystroke authentication for shoulder surfing and eavesdropping attacks, when the user tries to login to a website on a laptop …

The IP-based system cause inefficient content delivery process. This inefficiency was attempted to be solved with the Content Distribution Network. A replica server is located in a particular location, usually on the edge router that is closest to the user. The user’s request will be served from that replica server. However, caching on Content Distribution Network is inflexible. This system is difficult to support mobility and conditions of dynamic content demand from consumers. We need to shift the paradigm to content-centric. In Named Data Network, data can be placed on the content st…

In linear quadratic regulator (LQR), two different weighting matrices play an important role in presenting the performance of this controller. Instead of using classic common approach, which is trial and error method, this study proposes a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to track the best solution of the weighting matrices. The proposed algorithm is tested on shunt hybrid active power filter (APF) to mitigate the harmonic contents in voltage and current signals in a nonlinear load system. The modeling work of this proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. From th…

The multimodel approach offers a very satisfactory results in modelling, diagnose and control of complex systems. In the modelling case, this approach passes by three steps: the determination of the model’s library, the validities computation and the establishment of the final model. In this context, this paper focuses on the elaboration of a comparative study between three recent methods of validities computation. Thus, it highlight the method that offers the best performances in term of precision. To achieve this goal, we apply, these three methods on two simulation examples in order …
