LAPORAN INDIVIDU PRAKTIK PENGALAMAN LAPANGAN ( PPL) DI SD NEGERI DEMAKIJO 1

Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) bertujuan memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk belajar mengenal serta menghayati seluk beluk lembaga pendidikan dengan segenap permasalahannya. Baik yang berkaitan dengan proses pembelajaran maupun kegiatan administrasi pendidikan. Melalui PPL mahasiswa dapat menerapkan disiplin ilmu yang diperoleh di kampus untuk diterapkan ke dalam lingkungan pendidikan, baik formal maupun nonformal. PPL juga berfungsi sebagai salah satu cara melatih mental mahasiswa di depan dan di luar kelas. Selain itu, PPL dapat menambah pengalaman dan wawasan dalam proses KBM, agar nantinya mahasiswa mempunyai bekal untuk terjun ke dalam dunia pendidikan sebagai tenaga pendidik. Kegiatan Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL). Tujuannya adalah memberi kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk lebih mendapat bekal mengajar secara operasional di sekolah, sehinggga tidak hanya teoritis saja. PPL yang dilaksanakan di sekolah mulai tanggal 10 Agustus sampai dengan 12 September 2015 di SD Negeri Demakijo 1 akan lebih menguntungkan semua pihak, bagi sekolah, perguruan tinggi, dan mahasiswa. Kegiatan atau program PPL yang dilaksanakan antara lain: meliputi; membuat media pembelajaran, membuat rencana program pembelajaran. Dalam kegiatan PPL di SD Negeri Demakijo 1, penyusun mendapat kesempatan praktik mengajar di kelas V B, kelas III A, kelas IV B, kelas II A, Kelas IV B, dan kelas II B. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan PPL yaitu mahasiswa mendapatkan pengalaman nyata berkaitan dengan perencanaan, penulisan perangkat pembelajaran, proses pembelajaran dan pengelolaan kelas. Mahasiswa telah dapat menerapkan dan mengembangkan ilmu serta keterampilan yang dimiliki sesuai dengan program studi masing-masing

An Alternative Paradigm for Developing and Pricing Storage on Smart Contract Platforms

Smart contract platforms facilitate the development of important and diverse distributed applications in a simple manner. This simplicity stems from the inherent utility of employing the state of smart contracts to store, query and verify the validity of application data. In Ethereum, data storage incurs an underpriced, non-recurring, predefined fee. Furthermore, as there is no incentive for freeing or minimizing the state of smart contracts, Ethereum is faced with a tragedy of the commons problem with regards to its monotonically increasing state. This issue, if left unchecked, may lead to centralization and directly impact Ethereum's security and longevity. In this work, we introduce an alternative paradigm for developing smart contracts in which their state is of constant size and facilitates the verification of application data that are stored to and queried from an external, potentially unreliable, storage network. This approach is relevant for a wide range of applications, such as any key-value store. We evaluate our approach by adapting the most widely deployed standard for fungible tokens, i.e., the ERC20 token standard. We show that Ethereum's current cost model penalizes our approach, even though it minimizes the overhead to Ethereum's state and aligns well with Ethereum's future. We address Ethereum's monotonically increasing state in a two-fold manner. First, we introduce recurring fees that are proportional to the state of smart contracts and adjustable by the miners that maintain the network. Second, we propose a scheme where the cost of storage-related operations reflects the effort that miners have to expend to execute them. Lastly, we show that under such a pricing scheme that encourages economy in the state consumed by smart contracts, our ERC20 token adaptation reduces the incurred transaction fees by up to an order of magnitude.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, DAPPCON 201

2 P2P or Not 2 P2P?

In the hope of stimulating discussion, we present a heuristic decision tree that designers can use to judge the likely suitability of a P2P architecture for their applications. It is based on the characteristics of a wide range of P2P systems from the literature, both proposed and deployed.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur

Nevoja e operatorëve lokalë audioviziv për burime njerëzore të specializuara

Në një botë globale ku kanë humbur të gjithë kufijtë kohorë dhe hapësinorë, ku informacioni i shumëllojshëm ka përhumbur atë hiperlokal, kontakti i audiencave me median po bëhet gjithnjë e më shumë i personalizuar. Në këto kushte, kur ngjarja e ndodhur në një kontinent tjetër të shërbehet njësoj me atë që ndodh brenda lokalitetit ku jeton, apo pse jo edhe me më shumë mënyra imponuese përmes metodave të ndryshme promovuese, po ndihet gjithnjë e më shumë nevoja për një faktorizim të operatoreve lokalë. Faktorizimi i tyre mund të ndodh përmes shumë mënyrash, por një aspekt i rëndësishëm i saj do të ishte "loja" e bërë përmes rrjeteve sociale. Në kushtet e domosdoshmërisë së për një shërbim të tillë, këtyre operatorëve do t'ju nevojiteshin edhe burime njerëzore shtesë. Sa të gatshëm janë operatorët lokalë shqiptar për të ecur me këtë hap të kohës? A mund të jenë ata më prezente për audiencat lokale? Cila është rëndësia e këtyre medieve për komunitetin lokalë? Këto janë disa çështje që do të trajtohen në këtë studim. Metodologjia e përdorur për realizimin e këtij hulumtimi është ajo cilësore dhe sasiore. Përmes vëzhgimeve empirike të operatorëve lokalë dhe një anketimi të zhvilluar me gazetarë, drejtues dhe administratorë të këtyre medieve, studimi do të sjellë rezultate në lidhje me temën

The ICC Debate and the EU-U.S. Struggle for Influence: The Case of the Balkan-6. ACES Working Paper No. 11, October 2007

The objectives of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) for the countries of the Balkan region are generally assumed to be complementary. They both stress and condition their support and assistance on the progress that these countries make with regards to economic modernization, build-up of social institutions, and respect for international law. However, this rhetoric doesn't always match the facts on the ground. Often, instead of dealing with a cohesive set of policy recommendations, the countries in the region are faced with contradictory alternatives and zero-sum choices. The debate over the development of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was such a case. It centered on whether the countries in the region should exempt US personnel from the jurisdiction of the Court while in the country and thus rendering them immune from prosecution for any crimes committed for which the US courts were not willing or able to take any action. The final outcome was mixed. Three of the countries - Croatia, Serbia (and Montenegro), and Slovenia - decided not to give in to US pressure, while the remaining three - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia - ignored the pleas and threats of the EU and of the various international non-governmental organizations and decided to sign Bilateral Immunity Agreements (BIAs) with the US. How can one explain such divergent outcomes? I argue that the credibility of actors involved played an important role in determining whether threats coming from the US or the EU were more credible, thus tipping the scales in favor of signing BIAs with the US. However, the issue of threat credibility serves only to narrow down the choices of actors. Further determination of the outcome necessitates a look at the nature of the security context in which these countries exist and operate
