EDITORIAL

Do you ever Imagine if our world didn't have any sound, it might be peaceful, evidently silent, and voiceless. However, imagine if we lived without sound. There wouldn't be waves of music lyrics filling our hearts to soften our situation. Maybe for some people, music isn't just a set of lyrics, but it also entangles a sense of emotion.

One rhythmic wave has the ability to change the emotion of a person, and even their view of life. One rhythmic wave in a form of sound has the ability to help a person become more mature.

There is a proverb that says if we speak, we are only stating what we already know. But if we listen, we will be able to acquire new knowledge.

Why can we hear sounds? What is the role of a simple vibration when we make important decisions in our life?

I deeply apologize for publish in this edition on late March. I really hope you can find new perspective in this edition of Arbor Vitae and I’m expecting more contribution on the next edition, we’re waiting for you.

Regards,

Siti Zakiaturrahmah Editor-in Chief

Age Related Hearing Loss BY Andy Andrean

A  

uditory sense is human sense to receive

sound wave from their environment. In the beginning of human growth and development it has important role in learning process.

However, as human gets older human auditory sense show decreasing function to receive impulse from their environment. We often look someone speak loudly and closer to old people. Decreasing function of auditory sense in older people is called Age Related Hearing loss.

How do we hear normally?

Hearing depends on a series of events that change sound waves in the air into electrical signals. Your auditory nerve then carries these signals to your brain through a complex series of steps.

First, Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

The bones in the middle ear couple the sound vibrations from the air to fluid vibrations in the cochlea of the inner ear, which is shaped like a snail and filled with fluid. An elastic partition runs from the beginning to the end of the cochlea, splitting it into an upper and lower part. This partition is called the basilar membrane because it serves as the base, or ground floor, on which key hearing structures sit.

Once the vibrations cause the fluid inside the cochlea to ripple, a traveling wave forms along the basilar membrane. Hair cells— sensory cells sitting on top of the basilar membrane—ride the wave. As the hair cells move up and down, microscopic hair-like projections (known as stereocilia) that perch on top of the hair cells bump against an overlying structure and bend.

Bending causes pore-like channels, which are at the tips of the stereocilia, to open up. When that happens, chemicals rush i n to t h e ce l l s , c re at i n g a n electrical signal. The auditory nerve carries this electrical signal to the brain, which turns it into a sound that we recognize and understand.

After knowing the mechanism of hearing in human. We will know if something wrong with auditory organs the auditory system will be disrupted, for the example damage in auditory nerve will disrupt nerve impulse to auditory center in temporal lobes. Because of the impulse does not reach auditory center people will not be able to recognize and understand the sound. Damage in our ear will disrupt our hearing certainly.

It is important to reduce the amount of hearing loud music by earphone.

Why do we loss our hearing as we get older?

Many factors can contribute to hearing loss as you get older. It can be difficult to d i s t i n g u i s h a g e - re l a t e d hearing loss from hearing loss that can occur for other reasons, such as long-term exposure to noise.

Noise-induced hearing loss is caused by long-term exposure to sounds that are either too loud or last too long. This kind of noise exposure can damage the sensory hair cells in your ear that allow you to hear. Once these hair cells are damaged, they do not grow back and your ability to hear is diminished.

Age-related hearing loss can be caused by abnormalities of the outer ear or middle ear. Such abnormalities may include reduced function of the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) or reduced function of the three tiny bones in the middle ear that carry sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.

Conditions that are more common in older people, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, can contribute to hearing loss.

Medications that are toxic to the sensory cells in your ears can also cause hearing loss.

Most older people who experience hearing loss have combination of both age-related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss.

H ow to p reve n t Ag e related hearing loss?

At this time, Scientist still don’t know how to prevent age-related hearing loss.

However, we can prevent Noise-induced hearing loss by protecting our self from that are too loud and last too long. Such as loud music and loud engine sounds. Avoiding loud noises, reducing the amount of time you’re exposed to loud noise, and protecting your ears with ear plugs or ear muffs are easy things you can do to protect your hearing if you m u s t wo r k n e a r l o u d sound source and prevent to hear loud sound as you get older. It is important to reduce the amount of hearing loud music by earphone.

“

Our sensory system is a window to learn sciences, as a long-life learner it is our responsibility to take care of our own sensory system.

Is there any treatment for hearing loss?

The treatment will depend on the severity of the hearing loss. There are many devices and aids that help you to hear better when you have hearing loss.

Here are the most common ones: Hearing aids are electronic instruments you wear in or behind your ear which make sounds become louder.

Cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are small electronic devices surgically implanted in the inner ear that help provide a sense of sound to people who are profoundly deaf or hard-of-hearing Bone anchored hearing systems bypass the ear canal and middle ear, and are designed to use your body’s natural ability to transfer sound through bone conduction Thus, the article about age-related hearing loss and how to avoid it. Our sensory system is a window to learn sciences, as a long-life learner it is our responsibility to take care of our own sensory system.

The most important thing you can do if you think you have a hearing problem is to seek advice from a health care provider. There are several types of professionals who can help you. You might want to start with your primary care physician, an otolaryngologist, an audiologist, or a hearing aid specialist.

Hearing Sea in a Shell BY Fitrah Aulia Lisabilla




In Indonesia, we have many ocean, and

also the beach. Have you ever visit it? Or maybe you live along the coastline. For most people in a holiday season, they choose to spend it in the beach. Walk along the seashore, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and collect some seashells.

They're not always easy to find, though.

If you can't find it, maybe you’ll visit the local souvenir shop.

Many people told us that hold a big seashells up to our ears will make us listen for the sounds of the ocean inside the shell. Why? Because the shells came from the sea. That m a k e s sense. Obviously, the ocean isn't inside the shell. So what sound is it? If not the ocean sound, so what in the world is it?

The phenomenon is called seashell resonance. The sounds that seems to emit from inside a cone shell is actually noise happening outside the shell, resonating inside the shell and being a m p l i fi e d by t h e co n e - l i ke i n n e r chamber. The shells shape is considered as a long tube with a close-end. What happens when you have a long tube that is open at one end and close on the other end? It turns out that certain frequencies of sound can make standing waves in this tube. What is a standing wave? You have seen one, I am sure, just like what happen when you play a clarinet.

“

A closed cylindrical air column will produce resonant standing waves at a fundamental frequency and at odd harmonics. The closed end is constrained to be a node of the wave and the open end is of course an antinode. This makes the fundamental mode such that the wavelength is 4 times the length of the air column. The constraint of the closed end prevents the column from producing the even harmonics.

A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source. If a sound wave is traveling through a cylindrical tube, it will eventually come to the end of the tube. The end of the tube represents a boundary between the enclosed air in the tube and the expanse of air outside of the tube.

Upon reaching the end of the tube, the sound wave will undergo partial reflection and partial transmission.

Inversion of the reflected portion of the sound wave will occur only if the end of the tube is closed (and thus, acts as a fixed end).

The phenomenon is called seashell resonance.

What about the frequencies? The following is true for the relationship between wave speed, wavelength and frequency: v = λf. The sound you hear when you put that shell up to your ear is most likely the resonant frequencies for a tube of certain length. The size and shape of the seashells will determine kind and frequencies of sound that produced by it. And the best shells is the large one.

Would you believe you don't even need a shell to hear the “ocean"? Wanna try it yourself? You can produce the same effect only with an empty cup or simply by cover your ears by your hand. For fun, try out other objects around you and wonder about what you might hear in them.

“ The following is true for the relationship between wave speed, wavelength and frequency V = λf.

Beethoven, Old But Cool!




BY Muh. Fuad Alamsyah

1.  

Who does not know instrumental songs such phenomenal Symphony Number Five, Symphony Number nine, or Fur Elise? Yes, the music is sure to be on any iPod or smartphone is the work of one of the great composers in history, Ludwig van Beethoven. The works of Beethoven was remarkable, almost everyone d o e s k n ow.

However, on the life of the composer, probably not many who actually memorized.

Yes, things are noteworthy from the life of the maestro's music is his life that was not always as pretty as their music.

Starting from failing to get a pair many times to suffer from diseases that can be fatal to a music creator. Yes, deafness.

Beethoven was depressed because of this, but the pace remained firm, brains and hands remain in sync to create more symphonies that partite make amazement that reading.

Well, here are a row of the unique facts of the composers who may not have ever known before.

First Symphony Beethoven

Success is never as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Unless we are born to a wealthy family that lived dredging money alone. But, about skill, whoever it definitely takes time to be so great. Beethoven since childhood has been sleeping with the piano, but it was only at the age of 29 he made his debut their first Symphony.

Symphony itself is a long musical piece played for the orchestra.

Th e fi r st sy m p h o ny i s d o n e i n t h e Burgtheater in Vienna in April 1800. Many people are attracted when listening to music row Beeth. And this is where the musician's career slowly rising to the highest level that is not easy to reach the other famous musicians.

2. The Maestro His hearing loss Like a guitar player who had lost their fingers, for a composer, his hearing loss is like a nightmare or a career will soon run out. Beethoven experienced this and he was very depressed. But the call of his soul that was already for the music, he decided to go ahead.

What happens then? He managed to make a lot of music that the numbers are not known. 9 pieces symphony, five sonatas for cello and piano, 5 piano concerto, 10 overture, and much more. There are many reasons why Beeth ultimately could not hear at all. Some say exposure to toxins and certain diseases. The most painful moment because it is Beeth should avoid promiscuity nearly two full years. To him it felt ill enough to say to people 'I am deaf “.

 

3.

He hates, but He Loves Napoleon

Beeth very respectful to Napoleon Bonaparte. Admiration was poured in Symphony No. 3 with the title of Bonaparte. But when an important figure of the French Revolution that made himself emperor, Beethoven was furious. According to the story, he even tore the original manuscript of the Symphony.

But the funny thing is, a few months l a t e r t h e a n g e r B e e t h g ra d u a l l y vanished. She admits she still admires B o n a p a r t e , u n t i l fi n a l l y s t a g e d Beethoven manuscript that ruined it in 1804. And do not forget he said that if it is dedicated to a Napoleon Bonaparte.

This is evidence of the great musician.

Thanks to their music were brilliant, Beethoven to the summit of the highest attainable appreciation of the composer.

Until the end of his life, Beethoven was still consistent with creating and play solemn music quality. A key figure in the music world, died in March 1927 due to kidney disease.

 

Waspadalah Terhadap Bising!

BY Marcho Tanzil

Apa pengaruh bising terhadap kita?  

? ? ? ?

Bagaimana cara mengatasi dan mencegah d a m p a k bising?

Bagaimana kita d a p a t mendengar bising?

 

L

alu lintas, kendaraan, dan pabrik-

pabrik merupakan sumber polusi bising yang dapat ditemukan di Indonesia. Bising memang tidak lagi asing bagi tinggal di daerah perkotan dan pabrik terutama Jakarta dan kota besar di Indonesia yang terkenal dengan kemacetan dan berlebih kendaraan.

Dan tentunya banyak pabrik-pabrik yang menghasilkan tidak hanya polusi udara dan air namun polusi bising juga dapat ditemukan pada pabrik tertentu yang menggunakan mesin.

Pertanyaannya apa sih bising itu?

Apa pengaruh bising terhadap kita?

Bagaimana cara mengatasi dan mencegah dampak bising? Dan bagaimana kita dapat mendengar bising? Kita jawab pertanyaan paling dasar terlebih dahulu dengan menjawab pertanyaan terakhir.

 

“

M e n d e n g a r berawal dari suara yang masuk ke telinga kita berupa getaran lalu dikonversi menjadi signal dan dikirim ke otak kita.

Mendengar berawal dari suara yang masuk ke telinga kita berupa getaran lalu dikonversi menjadi signal dan dikirim ke otak kita.

Secara simpelnya proses mendengar seperti itu, tapi secara fisiologis pendengaran berawal dari tertangkapnya energi bunyi dalam bentuk getaran yang disalurkan melalui udaran atau tulang ke koklea (bagian telinga dalam). Getaran yang ditangkap oleh daun telinga kemudian masuk melewati kanal auditori eksternal dan menggetarkan membran timpani lalu diteruskan ke telinga tengah melalui bebrapa rangkaian tulang.

Tu l a n g p a d a t e l i n g a t e n g a h menangkap getaran bunyi dari air ke getaran cairan dalam koklea telinga dalam yang berbentuk seperti siput.

 

Terdapat sekat elastik berjalan dari awal koklea sampai akhir disebut membran basilaris. Bila terjadi getaran di dalam koklea, terdapat gelombang yang melintas membran basilaris. Proses ini merupakan rangsang mekanik yang menyebabkan terjadinya defleksi stereosilia sel-sel rambut, sehingga kanal ion terbuka dan terjadi penglepasan ion bermuatan listrik dari badan sel. Keadaan ini menimbulkan proses depolarisasi sel ra m b u t , s e h i n g g a m e l e p a s ka n neurotransmitter kedalam sinapsis yang akan menimbulkan potensial aksi pada saraf auditorius, lalu dilanjutkan ke nukleus auditorius sampai ke korteks pendengaran di lobus temporalis.

Tiap suara menghasilkan sound wave yang berbeda beda, nada tinggi adalah hasil dari gelombang pendek yang berjalan dengan cepat, sedangkan nada rendah adalah hasil dari gelombang panjang yang berjalan dengan lambat.

Seberapa besarnya suara itu dihasilkan dapat dihitung berdasarkan amplitudo gelombang. Semakin tinggi amplitudo gelombang maka semakin besar suara yang dihasilkan. Bising adalah bunyi yang dihasilkan dari berbagai banyak frekuensi yang terdiri dari spektrum luas dan spektrum terbatas.

Bising dengan intensitas diatas 85 dB dan berfrekuensi 3000 Hz lebih memungkinkan merusak reseptor pendengaran Corti di telinga dalam. Bising dapat dibagi menjadi 4 jenis bising yaitu bising kontinu dengan spektrum luas, bising kontinu dengan spektrum sempit, bising terputus-putus, dan bising impulsif. Bising yang biasanya mengganggu fungsi pendenagaran adalah bising yang bersifat kontinu terutama bising kontinu dengan spektrum luas dan berfrekuensi tinggi. Contoh bising kontinu dengan spektrum luas adalah bising yang dihasilkan mesin-mesin pabrik. Bising yang paling sering ditemukan pada daerah perkotaan adalah bising lalu lintas yang termasuk bising terputus-putus. Pada bising lalu lintas semua kendaraan yang berintensitas bisingnya diatas 85 dB yaitu: bus 95,3−121,0 dB, truk 110−117,6 dB, sepeda motor 99,8−107,3 dB, taksi 94,8−102,4 dB, minibus 90−100,5 dB, dan mobil 85−92,3 dB.

???

85 dB 95,3−121,0 dB 110−117,6 dB 99,8−107,3 dB 94,8−102,4 dB 90−100,5 dB 85−92,3 dB

 

Sangat berisiko pada orangorang yang tinggal atau kerja di lingkungan yang berdekatan dengan sumber bising karena dapat mengganggu f u n g s i

pendengaran bila terpapar lama.

Terutama pada daerah perkotaan dimana kendaraan dan lalu lintas sebagai sumber bising terbanyak apalagi tempat tersebut rawan macet.

Begitu juga pada daerah dengan pabrik pabrik terutama pada pekerja dalam pabrik tersebut yang sering terpapar suara bising mesin-mesin dalam pabrik.

Gangguan yang paling sering terjadi pada fungsi pendengaran karena bising adalah noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL merupakan penurunan pendengaran tipe sensorineural koklea yang disebabkan akibat terpapar oleh bising yang cukup keras dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama dan biasanya diakibatkan oleh bising lingkungan kerja. Dalam waktu yang lama, korban

Temporary thrershold shiff terjadi bila terpapar dengan bising tidak secara terus menerus dan berkurangnya pendengaran dapat kembali lagi beberapa menit atau jam b a h k a n s a m p a i beberapa hari tergantung d e n g a n instensitas kebisingannya.

Untuk pemulihan total pendengaran dibuthkan waktu 3 sampai 7 hari. bila sudah sering terpapar kembali sebelum pemulihan total maka penurunan pendengaran bisa sampai permanent threshold shiff. Bising tidak hanya mempengaruhi fungsi pendengaran namun juga berdampak diluar indra pendengaran seperti gangguan perasaan karena merasa tidak nyaman dengan suara bising. G angguan komunikasi yang disebabkan semakin susah mendengar dan mengerti perkataan orang dan butuh diperbesarkan suaranya. Gangguan tidur terutama pada orang yang tinggal dilingkungan dengan banyak bising.

Peningkatan tekanan darah juga dapat terjadi beriringan dengan peningkatan umur, sosial ekonomi, riwayat keluarga,

 

!

Bising sering dianggap sepele dan terkadang tidak disadari dapat mengganggu fungsi pendengaran secara perlahan-lahan. Dampak-dampak tersebut, dapat dicegah dan diatasi Meredamkan sumber bunyi dengan alat pelindung seperti helm dan ear plug dan ear muff terutama bagi yang bekerja dan berada dekat dengan sumber bising. Kombinasi antara sumbat telinga dan proteksi memberikan proteksi terbaik terhadap bising. Hindari sumber bising dan cobalah untuk pergi ketempat yang jauh dari bising sejenak agar tidak terpapar dengan bising terusmenerus. Istirahatlah terlebih dahulu disaat kerja agar tidak terpapar bising terlalu lama. Apabila terjadi penurunan pendengaran atau tuli, dapat dibantu dengan alat bantu dengar seperti ABD (hearing aid) sehingga tidak menggaggu pada saat berkomunikasi.

Tuli sensorineural koklea yang bersifat menetap dapat dibantu juga dengan latihan pendengaran untuk membantu fungsi ABD dengan membaca ucapan bibir, mimik, gerakan badan, dan bahasa isyarat. Rehabilitasi suara juga diperlukan agar dapat mengatur tinggi rendah dan volume percakapan. Untuk yang sudah mengalami tuli total bilateral dan ingin mendengar dengan normal lagi dapat dipertimbangkan untuk pemasangan implan koklea.

Waspadalah terhadap bising! Jangan menggangap remeh bising karena dampaknya dapat mengganggu aktivitas dan produktivitas kehidupan kita.

I n d o n e s i a , te r u t a m a p a d a d a e ra h perkotaan dan pabrik-pabrik merupakan sumber bising yang sangat sering kita dengar. Semakin lama kita terpapar bising semakin menurun pendengaran kita tanpa kita sadari, oleh karena itu cegahlah sebelum terjadi dampak lebih buruk.

The interview Q : Hello Kak Gerry,How’s life ?

A : Well.. if only it was appropriate, I'd send you this picture:

Q : Looks like you're really busy these days. Before we start this interview,can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

A : Ok. This question always gives me anxiety, especially when it pops up in one of those college application forms.

It's very... broad. I've always been the nochill, overthinking perfectionist; so when given creative space, I freak out.

I hope this gives you a more personal idea of who I am, instead of the regular: I was born and raised in Surabaya as the eldest of 3, I'm currently a medical student in Pelita Harapan University, medicine was an abrupt last-minute career change in my life, bla bla bla bla.

Q : What motivate you to join the AMSA international? And can you tell us about how do you first join AMSA until you become the international team?

This is an accurate representation of my life at the moment.

The thing is, honestly, I'm mostly running around here and there these days; desperately trying to maintain a regular diet and normal sleep schedule in the midst of hospital duties.

But since this is an interview people might read, and we want to leave a feelgood vibe, I think I'll go with something along the lines of: Everything is great, how about you? :D

A: Many may not know, that, I actually joined AMSA in my second year of med school, so you can consider me a late bloomer. I never expected that I was going to become an Executive committee 2 years later.

However, I was fortunate enough to w i t n e ss A M SA ' s f u l l - fo rce d u r i n g EAMSC2015 in Indonesia, and I was quickly exposed to AMSA International. I think it's safe to say that that was what piqued my interest.

AMSEP -- or exchange in general -- has been a personal interest for a long time, so I entered AMSEP instinctively. The year after, I joined the AMSEP team, and after that, I made the jump to AMSA International.

I hope this goes to show that: 1. It is never to late, for anything, in life.

2. You don't have to be a certain someone or have certain privileges, you can always climb up with your own two feet.

Q   : How do you manage your time between your study and AMSA?

Q: What do you get by joining the international team?

A: Hahaha *still breaking into laughter.

Hmmm ok, So as I was saying, there is no shortcut for this The 3 Golden Rules:

A: I think it's different for everyone.

To be more precise, I think I should return the question to the hopeful him/herself: What are you looking for in AMSA International?

1. Good time management by not wasting time.

2. Plan ahead, plan ahead, plan ahead.

3. Don't procrastinate.

Honestly, things have started to become rough ever since I started hospital rotations But fortunately, because I planned ahead for this exact moment (for the last six months) and didn't procrastinate, I'm still right on schedule or even early) for my tenure masterplan.

Q : Have you ever experience "a not so nice moment" in your AMSA experience? How do you overcome it?

A: I'm sure everyone has had their ups and downs, not just in AMSA, but in everything they do.

Bad things happen. It's part of life. I am by no means perfect and I don't have the right to govern how each and everyone should respond to the problems they face. Each individual has their own solution, and it is up to them how they want to write their own story. However, if I could give any advice: Bad things will come to pass and good things will come. See your problems as a challenge. You are stronger than you think you are, and for sure, you will come out stronger than you were before. Always try ti find the silver lining during those times :)

Well, on one side, there's the cliche answer, you'll get tons of experience, working with people from other countries, connections and networking, character & personality building, etc. Personally speaking, I can confidently say that working in AMSA really builds you up as a person; doesn't matter w h e t h e r yo u ' re i n l o c a l /n a t i o n a l / international, they're all the same thing; the m a i n d i ff e r e n c e i s j u s t t h e w o r k environment. Choose which one suits you.

Furthermore, each job has its own unique aspect. For example, as an AMSEP Director, not only do I gain lethal-ninja managerial skills, but I also gain close friends all around the globe who are willing to host me in their home country one day - which is very humbling. These are all true and beneficial, but personally. I think people join AMSA International for different personal reasons, whether it's for the work experience, the self-actualization, etc. And as long as you achieve what you want, I'd say it's a success! You should not want to join the International team (or anything, for that matter) on a benefit-basis. But do what makes you happy. You know yourself better than anyone. If doing something makes you happy, go ahead!

“

as an AMSEP Director, not only do I gain lethal-ninja managerial skills, but I also gain close friends all around the globe who are willing to host me in their home country one day - which is very humbling.

Q: When was your most valuable moment in AMSA? A: People may think that this answer is a little bit cliche, but I don’t care because I’m a straightforward person and I don’t like lying to myself, hehehe.

I think the moments I cherish most in AMSA are moments of "regeneration".

When I can see the older generation of AMSA pass on the baton to their younger successors.

During my time in AMSA, I've learned so much from my predecessors. I don't respect them just because their my seniors; blind seniority has never been my thing. But I respect them because they are worth respecting.

They've taught me much and they've taught me well. And this is why I wish to do the same.

I’m happiest when I see my National / Local AMSEP Directors (my babies) do well and have fun organizing their AMSEPs. I expect a lot from them and look forward to give them the torch one day.

Q : W h a t ’s yo u r h o p e f o r A M S A International and AMSA Indonesia in the future?

A : I simply hope that both AMSA International and AMSA- Indonesia grows further "as a whole"; for AMSA to improve both externally and internally. Externally, I hope AMSA can become exemplary medical-student organizations by their own right.

But more importantly (at least that's what I think), AMSA should always maintain internal welfare. The loyalty of an organization is to its members first and foremost. I think that is what makes a solid organization.

Q : Lastly,what is AMSA for you? Can you state a one word for AMSA? A : AMSA is.

Life-changing?

Is that 1 word?

Ok Kak Gerry, thanks for your time and thanks for letting us know a little bit about you. Hope you're doing great in the future.

CITY GUIDE

L i t t l e Amsterdam in Central Java?

BY Ardita Hartanti Pramudani

reetings AMSAIndonesia!

Did you know there’s a little version of Amsterdam in Central Java, Indonesia? I bet you don’t!

G

Semarang, the capital city of Central Java, is known as Little Amsterdam (especially the old town area). And of course, the city lives up to its name, with those canals and old colonial buildings no doubt it has the similarity towards Amsterdam. But alas, what else this city has to offer? Let’s break it down to points!

1. The History You must heard of Lawang Sewu, Marba Building, Gereja Blenduk, Sam Poo Kong? Those buildings are the silent witnesses from the Dutch era. Lawang Sewu or if translated to English “a Thousand Doors” because of the Lawang Sewu is a complex of buildings, it was once home to the Dutch East Indies’ Governor, and a a railway station.

But by the time the Japanese invaded Semarang, Lawang Sewu turned into a prison and several executions were performed there.

Right now, Lawang Sewu is a heritage site protected by the government.

Located in the heart of the city, across Lawang Sewu you can see Tugu Muda or “Youth Monument”, the monument that was built under the command of P r e s i d e n t I r. S o e k a r n o t o commemorate the Youth that was killed in the famous 5-Day Battle. 3 KM from Lawang Sewu and Tugu Muda, you have arrived in the Old Town. Old Town is the area where you can really see why Semarang is called “Little Amsterdam”. In Old Town, you can see famous buildings like Gedung Marba and Gereja Blenduk. Besides Gereja Blenduk, there is an art market that sells vintage things, from old money to dutch books. The wide variety makes the market unique. Behind the market stands Semarang Contemporary Art Gallery. There is also Sam Poo Kong, a temple built dedicated to the MuslimChinese Admiral Cheng Ho when he first stepped in Semarang.

2. The Food Food has been a staple of Semarang since a long long time ago. If Solo has its’ Timlo and nasi liwet, and Jogja has gudeg, then we have nasi ayam We cannot count how many stalls that sells Nasi Ayam in Semarang. It is everywhere only Rp10.000 you can get this food with one big glass of iced tea.

This comfort food will make you so comfortable you forget about your diet. Don’t want to eat in food stalls? No worries! We can take you to ‘Toko OEN’ a classy western restaurant that has existed since the dutch era. Yup, when you go to this restaurant you will have a blast from the past. The bakery inside the restaurant sells bread and cookies dutch style and the ice cream there is to die for. Oh, and also if we talk about food in Semarang, how can we forget Lumpia, Wingko Babat, Bandeng and Moachi cakes? Those are the classic ‘souvenirs’ you have to buy from Semarang. Tired of those too? No worries, you can also buy Pelangi’s Chiffon Cake!

The taste and the quality of the cake is un doubtful, and it starting to get very popular amongst the tourists too! Still not buying it? Then let’s take you to Pasar Semawis, located in the Chinatown of Semarang. Opens every weekend (including Friday), this Pasar is more like a food festival.

Stretched about 1 km long, we cannot tell you how many variety of food that exists here. From Nutella milkshakes, Korean snacks and cheap Seafood, you name it. Still not buying it?

Don’t worry, Semarang has a lot of food to offer, this article doesn’t even cover half of it!

3. The Scenery

Semarang is a city located near the beach and the hills. Several beaches in Semarang which is Pantai Maron, Pantai Tirang and Pantai Marina. For the hills, you can travel to the outskirts of the city and go to Bandungan area where you can go on a hike (or ride a horse) to Candi Gedong Songo or sight seeing in Susan Spa&Resort. Then If it’s too far, then stay in the city, you can still get a nice scenery. In Upper part of Semarang, you can see the whole city. The night’s view is spectacular. Because of that, most of the high end or modern hip cafes and restaurants are located in Upper Semarang. There’s a lot of restaurants that offers a view with your food experience: The Tavern, The Hills, EdenDaily International Food, Fish and Co, Mary Anne’s, My Scoops, and many more.

Saint Augustine once said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” But we hope by reading this one (may be two? Three?) page(s)article, it will encourage you to read the whole book. Come to Semarang and let yourself experience a city unlike others.

FunFacts about Semarang: 1. Matahari, the famous female spy during World War I, lived in Semarang and performed in Marba Building 2. Some believed Lawang Sewu is haunted, especially in the basement level 3. The Icon of the city is Warak Ngendog, a creature with a head of a dragon, a camel’s body and a goat’s feet. This represents the unity of numerous ethnics in Semarang 4. Central Java’s Mosque, “Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah” is located in Semarang and its 10 hectares wide 5. Police Academy of Republic of Indonesia is located in Sultan Agung street, Semarang

The Admirable City of London BY Siti Ardiya Sakinah Salim

L

ondon, located in the heart of UK, the city that’s probably in everbody’s wander lists. The city is popular because of everything in it, from the Tube, Big Ben, London Eye, the Royal Families. It makes people admire this city. Isn’t it just ridiculous of we run into someone who does not know London? Let’s cut to the chase.

I’m writing because I want to share my pleasurable experience of a DIY travel to London (of course! It was about London from the beginning). Well, do not consider me as a frequent traveller, or an expertise in travelling, I just want to share this one while I got the opportunity to do so.

To be honest, I’m not a person who’s interested in joining a 14-day-ish tour package to different cities or countries all at once. I’d rather visit one country for a week and explore everything, get lost, be a tourist, or pretend as a local, just to experience it to the fullest. Hence, that’s why I spent 8 days only in London and its surrounding cities.

So here it is, some places I visited in London : 1. Big Ben This one is London's most famous landmark, I guess everyone already knows this giant tower. However, there is one thing that many people still don’t know. Big Ben is actually the name of the giant bell inside the tower, and the name of the tower itself is actually Elizabeth Tower.

Big Ben is definitely a must visit place when you’re in London. Most people would say "You’ve never been to London, if you didn’t see BigBen and take a photo with it!". Yet, when I said you must visit Big Ben, I didn’t mean to literally visit the tower. You’d need to the go to Westminster bridge to get a proper photo of the tower and take a selfie with it. Not only BigBen, from this bridge you can also take a selfie with London eye behind you. This bridge is definitely a mandatory photo spot to prove you’ve been to London at least once! Nevertheless, there are many other spots to take a beautiful shoot of Big Ben. Google it!

2. The London Eye

3. Sherlock Holmes Museum

The London Eye is so close to Big Ben, only 5 minutes walk! When you’re at Westminster bridge. The beauty of the city of London can be seen from up there, but fortunately i didn't make it! If you really wanna see the beauty of London from up there, I recommend you to come early in the morning, because the queues are so long, just be early or you have to queue for a long time. i think, it's worth queueing though!

Since I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, this one is mandatory for me. 221B Baker Street, yes it's mrs. Hudson flat where mr. Holmes and dr. John Watson live (in the film of course).

Come here, take a picture in front of the-phenomenal-221b-door, pretend like you are Mr. Holmes, and share it with your friends. If you don’t have enough time to visit the museum, next to the 221B door the is an official Sherlock holmes store. They pretty much sell any shelock-related stuffs, from lighter to small statue of Sherlock Holmes. Heaven for sherlock holmes lover and of course for the Cumberbitches (Bennedict Cumberbatch Fandom).

4. Greenwich park Where else you can be exactly at the c o o r d i n a t e 0 ° ? Ye s , t h e R o y a l Observatory, Greenwhich Park is where the Meridian Line (the Prime Meridian) lies. if you don’t know what the Meridian Line is, it’s a north-south line selected as the zero reference line for astronomical observations, it represents the Prime Meridian of the world, Longitude Zero (0° 0' 0"). I was really excited when i found myself in the middle of the line! don’t miss the opportunity to be there!

I

f you’re bored in London, and

you want to walk out of town but don’t have much time to spent, i suggest you to take one day trip to Oxford City by train or take one day trip to other cities.

You can buy tickets to Oxford directly at the station or buy it on website. But you’d better buy return tickets on website because it’s much cheaper! If you buy one way ticket at station, it amounts to return tickets on website.

It’s easy though, to exchange your ticket if you buy on website!

So, let’s jump to the next story!

One day trip to Oxford City : Doesn’t look like the city of London, Oxford is more comfortable, quiet, and deserted. I’m not saying London isn’t comfortable, but here is calmer, and less crowded. The building is really nice.I also love this city’s landmark, Radcliff Camera, simple yet attrictive. Things you can also find here is, you can see the hall which is used for filming Harry Potter. Even I said Oxford is quiet and calm, but still, you’ll find a lot of tourists and students here, because Oxford is also great for its education. Are you interested in becoming Oxford’s next graduate?

One day trip to Windsor Castle - Stonehenge - Bath : Three magnificence places was visited in a day, it’s possible and exciting. It really is. If you are interested to go there, I suggest you to go on a tour, because it’s so far away from London. So you can book a local tour that provides this option, and then you don’t need to worry about the tickets and transportation to get there, they’ll take you!

Windsor Castle :

Stonehenge :

I really can’t imagine how it feels to live in such a beautiful castle where the royal Family lives! Such a lovely place, I can’t help myself.

Inside the castle you can see rooms to gather with family, for dinner, and other family activities.

I don’t know how to explain this places, but once you go inside, you will be amazed and you couldn’t say a word. Unfortunately, you can’t take any photos inside, but outside.

I bet you have seen this historical Stonehenge on your textbook, haven’t you?

If you come here, actually nothing to see but the stone itself. But you’ll be surprised, because it is breathtaking! You won’t believe!

Bath : Things that pop up in my mind when you say Bath city are small and unique. I don’t mind if you ask me to spend a day or more here, I’d love to! Don’t forget to take a photos of Bath Abbey, and if you have much time, you can try to go inside the Roman Bath, why not?

Youth Collaboration Towards Action By Zoya Marie Adhas




Weaving a Brighter Future of The Environment with AMSA-CIMSA Joint Action

“Awareness is the greatest agent for change” – Eckhart Tolle.

C

limate change has been an issue brought up since 100 years ago. Researchers dan pemerhati lingkungan has a l re a d y a n n o u n c e d a n impending issue following global warming, characterized by increase of earth temperature, increase of sea surfaces, occurrences of natural disaster and unpredictable weather.

Indonesia as a tropical country to be immensely affected by climate change which will, at some degree, result in increase in prevalence of tropical diseases namely vector borne diseases dengue fever, malaria, water borne diseases and o t h e r tox i c a n d re s p i rato r y problems.

On September 2016, 131 medical students across the nation gathered to raise their voice against climate change and tropical infection forming a committee called Youth Collaboration Towards Action (YCTA). YCTA is biennial event under the hood of AMSA-Indonesia (Asian Medical Students’ Association-Indonesia) and CIMSA (Center of Indonesian Medical Student Activities). Our theme this year is climate change and tropical infection, delivered as our event name; YCTA: Iceberg.

Simple acts make differences. We b e l i eve t h a t c h a n g e s s t a r t w i t h awareness, followed by action, and encouraged by advocacy. So, on Sunday, 18 March 2017, 180 people marched at Bundaran HI dan Senayan to invite the public to open their eyes and care for the cause: Climate Change and Tr o p i c a l I n f e c t i o n . I n a d d i t i o n , throughout the event, YCTA does not charter to the use of Styrofoam of any kind and to reduce plastic bottles, provide water bottles and gallons of mineral water to refill their water bottles at their water station. The main purpose of this first chain of event is to promote awareness to environmental changes.

 

The next event is a seminar and talkshow held at Pusat Perfilman Usmar Ismail Hall which is at te n d e d by m o re t h a n 2 0 0 people, mostly medical students.

Two seminars were delivered by our valued experts. In the first seminar, the head of Youth for Climate Change (YFCC), Latifah Al Kimi spoke about what youths can do to tackle climate change s m a r t l y. O u r s e co n d s e ss i o n continues with a medical education on tropical infection prevalent in Indonesia which are dengue and malarial by dr. Ronald Irwanto Natadidjaja, Sp. PD-KPTI, FINASIM. The second session focused more on the transmission and pathology of both diseases. We had band intermezzo from FKUKI, soothing us with jazzy band and saxophone

T h e s e c o n d d a y, s e m i n a r a n d talkshow, was attended by 188 registrants. Moderated by Ledi Marina, a veteran TV presenter, the second part of the day continued with talkshow with our spokespersons. We invited dr. Gamal Albinsaid, a doctor who won Prince of Wales award due to his social act that he was paid with trash as fee for medical treatment. The second is dr.

Ronald Irwanto who present the topic of dengue and malarial infection. We also invited two public figures, the first one is Sandra Dewi. She is an actress, model, presenter, and also West Jakarta Tourism Ambassador.

The second is Miss Earth Indonesia 2015, Belinda Pritasari, who encourage us to take a stand against climate change through simple acts to show that we care.

 

As the pinnacle of our event, YCTA committees gather to start their last event which is social program.

Conducted at SMPN 182, Kalibata, YCTA arranged three main events which are penyuluhan about tropical infection and Jumantik (Juru Pembasmi Jentik) for dengue and the act of 3M (menguras, menutup, mengubur, or to drian, close, and bury) and Jumantik (Juru Pemantau Jentik).

On the other side of the school, children of preschool and school age were gathered to play interactive games and fun way to remember hand-washing steps. The second main event is the mass medication (pengobatan massal) conducted for 150 registered people from 117 head of households. For the mass check up, YCTA invited eight general practitioners and two specialists, an internist and a pediatrician. As the c l o s i n g eve n t , t h e re g i ste re d 1 1 7 households were given sembako of 3 litre rice, 1litre cooking oil, and 1 kg of sugar.

We are very grateful of our sponsors and a total of not less than 300 participants in this 3-day event. We truly wish that YCTA: Iceberg can have a deep impact to the community and promote a change of attitude and increase of awareness to climate change, love for our mother nature, and our invitation for you (yes, you) to prevent tropical infections.

We hope to see you next time for a whole new YCTA 2019!

Cheers!

The Search for Everything: Wave Two ollowing the success of Wave One,

John Mayer released Wave Two in the 23rd of February 2017. Both Wave One and Wave Two are parts of Mayer's forthcoming album, The Search of Everything which is released in the form of waves which are released every month before April 14th, when the album's going to be released physically.

Each wave of The Search for Everything consists of 4 new songs and the waves aren't thematic in the musical aspect as Mayer is trying to make them wellrounded. Wave Two itself consists of 4 different songs, the groovy-yet-angular "Still Feel Like Your Man", "Helpless" that is a little bit funky, "Emoji of a Wave", a beautifully orchestrated folk tune with wonderful vocal harmonies, and lastly, "Roll it on Home", a countryish song in which Mayer said he sought to retain small imperfections. "It's supposed to be like a worn-in pair of jeans", he notes about the last track.

After releasing Wave Two, the awardwinning artist says "It's beyond a breakup record, It's about my impression of loss. It's about the ghost in the room.

Proudly, it is, as my therapist says, a study into the metaphysics of absent love."

Regarding the album itself, the singersongwriter says that he wants to make it as ambitious as possible. "This is the longest I've gone in the incubation process of a record,"Â says Mayer in the Capitol Studios, where he has spent hundreds of hours in the last 3 years on his seventh LP. The efforts he spent working on the album are surely not wasted as the first 2 EPs are well received by the public, with Wave One debuting on the 2nd place in the Billboard 200 Chart and Wave Two rolling in on the 13th place.

Now, the fans are waiting for the next 4 songs which are going to be released in Wave Three in March.

NO MORE LABEL CAN STOP HIM

hance the Rapper goes home big in the

59th annual Grammy Awards. Chancelor Bennett, also known as Chance the Rapper, is a Chicago born-and-raise rapper who just gained wide attention following his Grammy debut last February. The 23 year old out of West Chatham made history on the 59th annual Grammy Awards and took down some major competitions en route to bringing home three awards.

Nominated for seven Grammys, the C-town rapper walked off with three G ra m mys o n h i s d e b u t Grammy nominations. He won Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance for his chart-topping song “No Problem”, and contended with big names to win his historic Best Rap Album nomination.

Chance contended with fellow Chicago

rapper Kanye West, and also Grammywinning artist Drake to have his name written in the history books. You are probably wondering why I kept repeating historic for no reason. This is because Chance’s third mixtape, Coloring Book, is the only album in Grammy history to win without any record label incorporated in it.

Coloring Book is in fact the only streamonly album to win a Grammy. Chance had previously explained in an interview with HOT 97 on why he’s hell-bent not signing with any record label. He said, “I have complete control over my music, the same that I did when I was in high school: I make what I wanna make, when I wanna make it, with who I wanna make it with.

And, in the end, I still own everything that I create.” Chance also added that the understanding of giving up any of his work to a huge label, or an indie label is just very difficult for him.

He reportedly turned down many labels offered to him since his historic Grammy night. The NEW York Post reported that offers up to $10 million were rejected by Chano. By having no record label, he didn’t need to do very much negotiating to have other musicians to collaborate with him.

Coloring Book did features big names with the likes of Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Future.

So with all of his stream-only music being in the market for free, how does Chano makes his money?

In an interview with Vanity Fair, he said, “I never wanted to sell my music, because I thought putting a price on it put a limit on it and inhibited me from making a connection.” Despite that, Chance gains his money from touring and selling merchandise, which he believed that music don’t necessarily have to go through the traditional ways.

Surely the introduction of stream-only albums and no-label artist by Chance will bring forth a new perspective in the music industry also pushing the ceiling to what hip-hop can achieve.

With the forthcoming collaboration with Future, the world will surely be curious what will Chance pull off this time.

Pengingat

Indonesian Medical Students’ Training and Competition 2017 MASQUERADE Salah satu acara Nasional dari AMSA Indonesia yang paling diminati oleh anggota divisi Research and Academic adalah Indonesia Medical Student’s Tra i n i n g a n d Co m p e t i t i o n (IMSTC). Tahun ini, IMSTC 2017 dilaksanakan oleh AMSA-UPH d a r i t a n g g a l 2 3 Fe b r u a r i hingga 26 Februari 2017. Acara Nasional ini memang sudah berlalu, namun bagi semua delegasi terutama para peserta lomba masih merasakan atmosfer dari kegiatan ini, termasuk saya.

M

Sampai detik ini saya masih merindukan masa–masa di mana saya bersama tim saya mempersiapkan karya dalam mengikuti kompetisi ini. Dalam hitungan hari, bahkan bulan semua ini akan berlalu. Maka dari itu, saya menulis lima lagu yang mengingatkan kita semua akan sebuah kebersamaan dan sebuah perjuangan dari IMSTC 2017.

M

 

1. All or Nothing All or Nothing merupakan lagu asli dari serial Glee yang terdapat di musim keempat pada episode terakhir. Lagu ini dinyanyikan oleh New Directions, dengan penampilan solo dari Blaine dan Marley.

Dalam sebuah kompetisi, lagu ini seolah melukiskan mengirimkan karya atau tidak sama sekali.

Publish or perish.

All or nothing All or nothing This is my life I'm not gonna live it twice

2. Jet Lag Lagu ini dinyanyikan oleh Simple Plan bersama Natasha Bedingfield. Jet Lag dirilis pada tanggal 25 April 2011. Lagu ini menjadi lagu kedua dari album mereka yang keempat yang diberi nama Get Your Heart On! Satu – satunya penghubung lagu ini dengan euforia IMSTC 2017 adalah liriknya yang berbunyi I've been keepin' busy all the time yang dibawakan oleh Natasha Bedingfield. Setelah Representative dan divisi Publication and Promotion, pihak yang paling sibuk selanjutnya adalah divisi Research and Academic. Ditambah lagi bila anggota tersebut seorang peserta lomba IMSTC 2017.

Bisa dibayangkan seperti apa kesibukan yang dialami dari anggota dari kedua divisi tersebut.

I've been keepin' busy all the time Just to try to keep you off my mind Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

3. Castle On The Hill

4. I lived

Di posisi ketiga kita memiliki Castle On The Hill yang dinyanyikan oleh Ed Sheeran.

Lagu ini mengisahkan kampung halaman sang penulis lagu ini.

Sama halnya dengan IMSTC 2017, sejauh apapun kita semua melangkah, masa – masa selama IMSTC 2017 akan selalu menjadi kenangan, dan tentu saja momen ini akan menjadi rumah.

I Lived yang dipopulerkan oleh OneRepublic medapatkan posisi keempat. Lagu ini memiliki makna yang sangat dalam bagi mereka yang memiliki mimpi.

Te r l e b i h p e s a n yang sangat baik bagi mereka yang mengirimkan karya d i I M S T C 2 0 1 7.

Anda harus mendengar lagu ini sendiri.

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill

5. Can’t Stop the Feeling!

Te n t u s a j a d i p o s i s i ke l i m a k i t a m e m i l i k i Can’t Stop the Feeling!.

Selain menjadi lagu p e n g i r i n g u n t u k fi l m Tro l l s , l a g u i n i j u g a menjadi lagu yang ampuh dalam mengingatkan kita akan IMSTC 2017. Mengapa?

Karena lagu ini bisa dikatakan menjadi soundtrack untuk IMSTC 2017. Can’t Stop the Feeling! menjadi bumbu pemanis bagi video yang diputar AMSA-UPH dalam proses bidding s a a t R a ke r n a s 2 0 1 6 , Palembang.

“

Dalam hitungan hari bahkan bulan, kita akan melupakan

IMSTC 2017 . Momen

besar ini bagi beberapa orang

menyimpan banyak

kenangan

dan

kisah–kisah unik di baliknya.

T ermasuk

saya secara pribadi. Bila ada hal yang dapat dilakukan, saya ingin sekali kembali ke masa – masa itu.

Setiap hari selalu ada hal baru. Hal baru tersebut itulah yang nantinya akan menggerus ingatan kita akan I M S T C 2 0 1 7. B e r h a r a p dengan adanya lima lagu ini, kita semua akan terhubung satu dengan yang lain. Lagu – lagu ini dapat menjadi media bagi kita yang terpisah oleh kondisi tertentu.

Kita semua selalu “ t e r h u b u n g ” . Te r k a d a n g untuk membayar “kangen” yang harus kita lakukan hanyalah diam sejenak, menarik napas, dan bersyukur atas momen yang boleh terjadi. Dan yang paling penting adalah menerima sebuah fakta bahwa hal – hal semacam itu tidak akan pernah terulang kembali.

VS

DSLR MIRRORLESS CAMERA BY

Muhammad Syauqi Mirza

So

you want to get into photography and want to buy a camera? that was easy question to answer, you had to buy a DSLR.( – said someone from 2008). in 2009 Olympus launched its first mirrorless camera, the Pen E-P1, and everything changed.

(Pen E-P1, first mirrorless camera Sumber: http://www.imaging-resource.com/ PRODS/EP1/EP1A.HTM)

Like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras allow you to change lenses,( interchangeablelens) but the feature don't a complex like DSLRs do.

In DSLRs, light enters through the lens and gets bounced off a mirror, through a s p e c i a l p r i s m , to e n d u p at t h e viewfinder. When you click the shutter button, the mirror flips up, which allows light to hit the actual image sensor on the camera, and voila your photograph is taken. This process might seem like a high-tech solution, but it’s actually a bit of an anachronism. Long before digital cameras existed, most of their filmbased counterparts employed this same method to get light to the viewfinder, because it was a useful way to compose your photo before clicking the shutter.

But thanks to advances in modern technology, this flip-up mirror method is no longer necessary, and a whole new breed of cameras is beginning to make inroads into modern digital photography. These new models have no flip-up mirror, and thus the term “mirrorless” was born.

Enthusiasts and pros, however, have taken a bit of convincing on the merits of mirrorless cameras. With no mirror, there's no optical viewfinder, with models either relying on the rear screen or featuring electronic viewfinders, while there have been concerns over image quality, features and handling.

Perhaps most importantly, compared to established DSLR systems, the lens ranges of these mirrorless systems isn't as extensive.

But, there are new mirrorless cameras and growing lens ranges, and mirrorless cameras done enough to be genuine DSLR rivals So which one you

Size and Weight

Video Quality

SLR camera bodies are comparatively larger, as they need to fit in both a mirror and a prism. The body of the Nikon D3300, for example, is a rather bulky 3 inches deep before you put the lens on the front. With the 18-55mm kit lens, the camera weighs about 1.1 pounds.

Because of their on-chip focus sensors, higher-end mirrorless cameras are g e n e ra l l y b e t te r s u i te d to v i d e o shooting. DSLRs can't use phase detection with the mirror up while recording video, so they have to use the slower, less accurate, contrast-detection focus method. This leads to the familiar blur-blur look in the middle of a video when the camera starts hunting for the right focus.

A mirrorless camera body can be smaller than a DSLR, with simpler construction. The Sony a5100 has a body just 1.6 inches thick and weighs just over a pound with its 16-50mm kit lens.

Winner: Mirrorless Camera You can carry a mirrorless camera more easily and fit more gear, such as extra lenses, into a camera bag.

Winner: Mirrorless Camera With superior autofocus in most models,and a small size that make mirrorless cameras more stable and provide the best results for most filmmakers.

Battery Life  

Sumber: (http://www.motoyuk.com/wp-content/ uploads/2012/11/mirrorless-vs-dslr-35mm.jpg)

Battery life comparisons might not be exciting, but they are important when the differences are as great as this. The Nikon D7200 DSLR, for example, can take 1,100 shots on a single charge, while the Fuji X-T2 CSC, a close match on paper, can only shoot 340 photos before the battery expires. This pattern is repeated across the range of DSLRs and CSCs. It's not clear why. DSLR batteries are sometimes larger, though not always, and you might have thought that driving the mirror up and down for each shot would consume more power, and that that LCD display would be used just as much.

Apparently not, though, and this is one area where DSLRs do often have a substantial practical advantage. You'll certainly need an extra battery or two with most mirrorless cameras.

Image Quality Both types of camera can take highquality pictures, with similar resolutions and amounts of graininess, known as noise. Mirrorless cameras' smaller image sensors used to mean lower quality (as they couldn't capture as much light), but that is no longer the case. Camera manufacturers have learned to produce more sensitive chips and to better suppress noise. Furthermore, several mirrorless camera makers, such as Samsung and Sony, now use the same APS-C sensors found in the majority of DSLRs. Sony's A7 line of cameras use the even larger full-frame sensor type found in the best professional DSLRs. Winner: Draw With equivalent sensors and image processors, both camera types can take great photos.

Winner: DSLR 


Lenses If you want the widest possible choice of lenses, then a Canon or Nikon DSLR is possibly the best bet thanks to their huge range of optics - they both have an extensive range of lenses to suit a range of price points, as well as excellent third party support from the likes of Sigma and Tamron.

Winner: DSLR DSLRs offer access to the wider range of lenses, but the gap between the two types is narrowing as more mirrorless lenses become available.

 

(Sumber: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/dslr-vsmirrorless-cameras,news-17736.html)

The technical differences between DSLRs and CSCs aren't the only things you need to consider, and may not even be the most important to you.

The only way to decide once and for all is to pick them up and try them out to see which you prefer. You might prefer t h e fat , c h u n ky fe e l a n d o p t i c a l viewfinder of a DSLR, or you might prefer the smaller bodies and more precise feel of a compact system camera. It'll really come down to what you like to shoot and what the camera can deliver - and pay attention to the lenses offered and accessories available as well.

P u s h i n g Boundaries : MWC 2017

BY

Andry Setiadharma

L

ast month was filled with surprise

and happiness, as many technological makers found their way to some impossible technological improvements.

After many prototypes, rumours, and leaks some of major technological companies are ready to showcase their creations to the public. Just three years ago, some technology such as curved screen, and border-less screen were considered to be impossible and not necessary for the consumer products, but it has been proven wrong with the so called samsung galaxy s7 edge.

Mobile World Congress(MWC) 2017 is the world’s biggest phone show, and this year it’s happening in Barcelona from February 27th to March 2nd. It’s and event where technological makers showcase their products and invention before it’s released to the public.

In this article I will give a glimpse of what has been announced at MWC 2017 and what it means for the future of the mobile technology industry in 2017 and beyond.

Nokia 3310 : Snake with a twist.

Nokia brings back the classic 3310 in the same form factor with upgraded internals and bright colored durable plastic shell. It's the same old Nokia that you trusted, except it comes with the capability to surf the internet, picture taking limited to 2 megapixel and a bright, colorful new screen. It also comes with a modern take on Nokia's classic game : snake. This nostalgic comeback however, come with a cost because the new Nokia 3310 can only be used with 2G cellular data. It is not clear whether this Nokia's comeback will be available around the world.

 

Nokia 3, 5 and 6 : Stripped down to essentials.

Also announced along Nokia's nostalgic returns are Nokia 3, 5 and 6. After all the rumour spreading across the internet, Nokia finnally announced this dream come true smartphone for Nokia fanboys and fangirls. These smartphones doesn't really compare to other flagship smartphones as these phones are targetted for the midrange smartphone users. However, these smartphones can still handle daily task nicely. These smartphones come with a slim uni-body metal chassy, mediocre specs, and unforgotten Nokia's design language. The Nokia 6 however, has been announced exclusive to China 1 month earlier, and now it will be available around the globe.

Oppo's optical 5x zoom : DSLR in your pocket.

It's not Apple, Samsung, LG or either huawei, yes it's Oppo! The giant Chinese tech company takes a big leap in mobile camera technology by killing the camera bump in the modern smartphone. As we know, many of the 2016 flagship smartphone such as galaxy s7, LG G5, and even technologically advanced Apple iPhone 7 comes with a enormous camera bumps. This camera bump is essential to compensate the need of optical zoom. Oppo has finally been able to fix this problem by placing its lenses sideways. Oppo's new invention are showcased side to side with an iPhone 7 disguised to not look like an iPhone. After some test, the image quality has been proven to be really amazing.

 

LG G6 : "bezel-less" phone.

All the rumour and leaks have been proven to be true. It's the not so beautiful near bezel-less phone that we've been waiting for! LG has decided to cut down some curves for the sake of 80% screen to body ratio and improved durability. LG ditches down the idea of the modular smartphone system seen in the LG G5 as LG G6 losses the ability of adding LG "Friends" and beloved removable battery. What's new however, is the 18;9 screen ratio. LG believes this new screen ratio will increase user productivity, such as LG's new camera feature that let us see our square picture right away after we capture it. LG also adds up water and dust resistance to it's new flagship.

Blackberry KEYone : keyboard that we loved.

After 6 months living under the name mercury, Blackberry's TCL produced smartphone finnally gets its official name : the KEYone! It's the same old Blackberry that we loved, except it's now wrapped up with a new design language from Blackberry's new owner, TCL. It has a nice, rounded metal edges, paired with nostalgic rubber coated back and a fast fingerprint reader embedded in the space bar. The keyboard itself is clickier than its predecessor, the Priv but hasn't been able to compete with the old Blackberry Bold. What's nice however is the return of the ability to use its keyboard surface as a trackpad. Like other Blackberry handset, it's skinned with blackberry's own high security android operating system. It's the same old blackberry, maybe it's not for you or me, but that's what makes it Blackberry.

 

5G : It's here, but you have to wait a little longer.

After many potfolios and testing, 5G network is finally here. But neither do you or I can taste this technologically advanced mobile network. What has been announced at this event is that cellular giants are already stocking and testing the new technology behind 5G. What does this mean to us? Time will tell, but improvement in network technology means higher signal output, greater energy efficiency, and faster web surfing. Is 4G not enough for us? It turns out that 5G is not intended to be used for consumer networks, instead we are talking about improved medical services, connected societies, and driverless vehicles.
