Understanding Indonesian People through Literature: Indigenous Psycho-Sociology Perspectives

Indigenous studies are currently attracting humanities researchers, one of which is the field of literature. Literary researchers explore the locality contained in literary texts through the perspective of indigenous studies. In this regard, this study explored Indonesian literature through the perspective of indigenous studies. The theory used in this study was literary criticism associated with indigenous psychology and indigenous sociology. The data source used was the Rafilus novel written by Budi Darma. The research method used was qualitative because the researchers emphasized the interpretation of the text. Data analysis techniques included the stages of indexation, reduction, exposure, and interpretation. The results showed that the character Rafilus displays the psychological side of indigenous people of Java through segmentation: friendliness dan politeness in life, self-awareness in life, a simple life desire, and loves to learn.

Treemap-Based Cluster Visualization and its Application to Text Data Analysis

This paper proposes Treemap-based visualization for supporting cluster analysis of multi-dimensional data. It is important to grasp data distribution in a target dataset for such tasks as machine learning and cluster analysis. When dealing with multi-dimensional data such as statistical data and document datasets, dimensionality reduction algorithms are usually applied to project original data to lower-dimensional space. However, dimensionality reduction tends to lose the characteristics of data in the original space. In particular, the border between different data groups could not be represented correctly in lower-dimensional space. To overcome this problem, the proposed visualization method applies Fuzzy c-Means to target data and visualizes the result on the basis of the highest and the second-highest membership values with Treemap. Visualizing the information about not only the closest clusters but also the second closest ones is expected to be useful for identifying objects around the border between different clusters, as well as for understanding the relationship between different clusters. A prototype interface is implemented, of which the effectiveness is investigated with a user experiment on a news articles dataset. As another kind of text data, a case study of applying it to a word embedding space is also shown.

Building Millennials Generation Character Through Civic Education to Face The Era of Globalization

Background: The rapid flow of globalization makes the world free from barriers so that the existence of globalization gives birth to a new concept of "World Without Borders". This situation puts the character of millennials on the brink of collapse and needs to be straightened out. Based on the problems above, the researcher determines the question: How is the role of civic education in shaping millennial character in the era of globalization? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the current globalization on society, as a form of knowledge of the importance of citizenship education as a shield in the era of globalization, knowing the role of civic education in shaping the character of the millennial generation. Method: The method used in this research is a literature review. The search for journals was carried out using the google scholar database with the keywords “citizenship educations”, “millennial generation”, and “globalization”. Feasibility studies are assessed based on title, abstract, and full text. Data analysis using qualitative analysis based on research findings. Results: The results of this study show the influence of globalization causes character problems in millennials increasing every year. The high nature of individualism, consumerism, and westernization shows the characteristics of Indonesia began to erode and eventually also impacted the moral damage. Therefore, prevention is necessary through citizenship education as the basis for character formation by the values of Pancasila.

Hidden Markov Model for Sentiment Analysis using Viterbi Algorithm

Data mining is an activity to extract the knowledge from large amounts of data as very important information. The type of data in the era of 4.0 is data in the form of text, which is very much derived from social media. Recently, text becomes very important in some applications, such as the processing and the conclusion of a person's review and analysis of political opinion which is very sensitive in almost all countries, including Indonesia. Online text data that circulating on social media has several shortcomings that could potentially hinder the analysis process. One of the drawbacks is the people can post their own content freely, so the quality of their opinions cannot be guaranteed such as spam and irrelevant opinions. The other drawback is the basic truth of the online text data is not always available. Basic truth is more like a particular opinion, indicating whether the opinion is positive, negative and neutral. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to improve the forecasting accuracy of online text data analysis from social media. The method used os Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with Viterbi Algorithm that applied to extract the dataset sentiment at the 2015 elections in Surabaya from the popular site micro blogging called Twitter. The result of the study is Viterbi algorithm has predicted the best route with the candidate Tri Rismaharini gained a prediction of neutral sentiments, whereas ratio candidates gained sentiment negative predictions as well. The proposed Model is accurate to predict candidate features. It also helps political parties to introduce candidates based on reviews so that they can increase candidate performance or they can manage broad publicity to promote candidates.

Minutes of Meetings of the District Chiefs of the Krasnogorodsk Region as a Source for Studying the Nazi Occupation in the Kalinin Region: 1941–44

The article is to study the everyday life of the Soviet population under the Nazi occupation as it remains insufficiently studied yet. One of the author’s tasks is to introduce new sources into scientific use. The study reveals informative capabilities of documents on governance in the occupied territory using microhistorical approach and involving methods of text data analysis. The article reviews minutes of meetings of the staff of civil administration of the Krasnogorodsk region chaired by the German commandant. On the eve of the Great Patriotic War the region was a part of the Kalinin region; in 1941–44 it was under occupation. Then the German commandant was chief representative of the authorities in the region. The staff of the regional administration and its chief (including chiefs of the districts and villages) followed his directions. The districts more or less corresponded to village soviets. The meetings of the commandant with the administration staff were held regularly. The records of meetings found by the author in the fonds of the Velikiye Luki department of the State Archives of the Pskov Region date back to early 1943. The data analysis of the documents suggests that most often discussed issues were administrative and civil order matters, for instance, functions of military and civil administration and forms of their interaction. The job duties and powers of different civil administration staff and their requirements were often clarified, as well as regulations for getting passports and collecting data on population composition and various aspects of the region’s economic life. Much attention was paid to arrangement and implementation of agricultural work, the most difficult matter was lack of draught animals. Deadlines and terms for obligatory delivery of agricultural products were constantly reiterated. Issues related to the social sphere: bread rationing, accommodation of refugees, orphans, and homeless children, their provision with food supplies were mentioned. There are rare references to schools and hospitals mentioning the shortage of funds for their reconstruction and heating. At the meetings ideological work with the attendees was carried out, resulting in moral and material rewards for those who collaborated with Nazis. The commandant constantly reminded of the necessity for recruitment of reliable persons to auxiliary forces and warfare units. Thus, the study of the records shows that top-priority tasks of the invaders were maintaining order and supplying resources to the German army.
