Reducing Global Warming and Stopping Unnecessary Pollution through Regulating and Levying Private Transport Means in Bandung
Pages 28-33
Mutebi Denis
Abstract
Global warming is one of the greatest threats to humanity and the environment. This paper investigates the relationship between the increasing number of private cars in Bandung and its contribution to global warming. Bandung city population in 2010 was about 2.4 million, and the population density was 1,600. The global warming in Bandung has increased due to the intensive urban activities. Global warming is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap heat. The main sources of global warming in Bandung are transportation, industry and household. The ever increasing number of cars is proportional to the increasing temperatures that reach 27oC at night and 30oC during the day especially in downtown Bandung. My research focused on the private cars heading towards the Ciumbuleit-Cihampelas-Silwangi Junction during a busy Saturday afternoon for a period of 3months to see whether all the car seats are occupied by people, and to check whether all the cars are necessarily required on the road. Less than 20% of the cars were at least half filled with people. About 40% of the cars had only the driver and about 40% of the cars had more than 1 person but less than the half filled car capacity. All the Passengers could comfortably fit in only 60% of the cars.The hypothesis was not supported by this study. 40% of the cars were unnecessarily required on the road during the study period.Car owners should at least half fill their cars with passengers before going on the road or else be heavily levied. Alternatively, people or private car owners can resort to public means of transport. Future direction should focus on how to use the collected revenue to make public transport comfortable, accessible and convenient for everyone, and also educate the public on the dangers of pollution.

Abstract
The study aims at find out and analyze domestic violence, and study it in detail, openly and independently based on the Libyan criminal law in order to review and develop the law. Studi sosial internasional antara. so it will not against Islamic law and.Furthermore, it aims to monitor and determine the jurisprudence aspect and the law by studying the law sanction set by Libyan law maker and compare it with Islamic law. As following the search questions :1) How are crimes related to families in the perspective of Libyan Penal Code? : 2) How can sanctions be compared to these crimes in terms of the opinions of scholars in Libyan Penal Code and Peoples of other States? The researcher employs a descriptive analysis method and collects the data from Libyan law reference textbooks and criminal law encyclopedia. Data related with Islamic law are from several fiqh books. Then the researcher analyzes the data by representing them on each theme and reviewing them from the perspective of Libyan law and four main ulemas. The last steps are compare and draw the conclusion from the study. The result shows that the Libyan law maker is in accordance with Islamic law in making law on domestic violence and its sanction. However, the implementation of the law is sometimes different in some cases due to some reasons such as maintaining human rights, safety and stability. The fact is caused by the lack of development and adjustment of the law. The Libyan family law has no explicit explanation on domestic violence and mediator misuse, and it delegates them to criminal law. However, the explanation will help to strengthen the argument and clarify the family condition in criminal law. It also help judges to determine the condition and law adjustment to a certain crime. In some cases, the suspects are not brought to trial and punished. The criticism of the researcher arises when a theory says that only the Family Law can regulate the relationship arising from the fact that man is male or female, that he is husband or widower or absolute, or that he is full or incomplete, but the researcher sees that this theory is incomplete, where it does not specify rewards and punishments in case of violation of the rule. The researcher asserts that the assumption based on the specific criteria at the time of the crime was taken by the Libyan Criminal Code as evidence. Therefore, theorist’s theory complements the previous theory. Thus, the theory of researchers complement each other with previous theories. And that the crimes and punishments imposed on them are unequal according to Islamic law, and not limited to family law alone.

Abstract
Unlike many articles only focused on conversational implicature in the novel Pride and Prejudice, this paper would pay more attention to how the translators solve the conversational implicature problems in the dialogues translation. The source of data are dialogues elected from the chapter ten in Pride and Prejudice. There are 53 utterances taken as the data. Those utterances are analyzed with cooperative principle, there are 30 utterances flouting the maxims of cooperative principle. The modulation translation technique is mostly used when translating these utterances. Despite the modulation translation technique, established equivalent, amplification, reduction and transposition translation techniques also are used in the translation. In addition, there are three raters who are studying translation linguistics in Sebelas Maret University give rates to the translation quality of these utterances in Indonesian edition, including accuracy and acceptability. I hope this case study could give some help to the people who want to study Pride and Prejudice in Indonesian edition.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a crucial component of Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Indonesia. Inadequate plasma DHA concentration may select resistance and would subsequently hamper malaria elimination program. The aim of the study was to establish laboratory readiness in the National Institute of Health Research and Development (NIHRD), Ministry of Health of Indonesia for artemisinin resistance monitoring program through validation and application of a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for quantification of DHA in plasma of healthy adults. Samples were prepared by micro-elution solid-phase extraction in 96-wellplate format. Dihydroartemisinin was separated in Acquity UPLCTM BEH C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) with mobile phase containing acetonitrile-ammonium acetate 10 mM pH 3.5 (50:50, v/v) at flow rate of 0.3 mL/minute. A triple quadruple mass spectrometer coupled to positive tandem mass spectroscopy was used for detection. A stable isotope-labelled DHA was used as internal standards. Calibration curve over a concentration range of 1.00–1000 ng/mL proved to be linear with correlation coefficient greater than 0.995. Accuracy and precision were within 15% for bias and variation (20% at the lower limit of quantification). Lower limit of quantification was 1 ng using 5 μL sample. The mean recovery for DHA and the internal standard were greater than 90%. The method was successfully used to analyzed pharmacokinetic samples from five healthy subjects.
