  • Chassis Layout of an Autonomous Truck a Transportation Concept for the Mining Industry
    Chassis Layout of an Autonomous Truck A Transportation Concept for the Mining Industry Johannes Dahl Gabriél-André Grönvik Mechanical Engineering, masters level 2016 Luleå University of Technology Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics Preface This thesis was performed by Johannes Dahl and Gabriél-André Grönvik at Scania. Johannes was studying Mechanical Engineering at Luleå University of Technology and has experience in product development and great knowledge in machine design and components. Gabriél was studying Vehicle Engineering at KTH and has competence in vehicle concepts, components and dynamics. The authors want to thank the supervisors Jenny Jerrelind at KTH, Torbjörn Lindbäck at LTU and Måns Lundberg at Scania for their support and advices. We also want to thank other personnel at Scania; our boss Christian Lauffs, Eric Falkgrim and Jan Dellrud for running this project, Mikael Wågberg and Daniel Bergqvist for sharing their expertise about the mining industry and everyone that we have been in contact with at Scania for exchanging many great ideas. Finally, we want to thank all staff at RTMX for great support, good advice and involvement. I II Abstract Autonomous driving might increase safety and profitability of trucks in many applications. The mining industry, with its enclosed and controlled areas, is ideal for early implementation of autonomous solutions. The possibility of increased productivity, profitability and safety for the mining industry and the mining area as a ground for development could, through collaboration, result in many benefits for both mining companies and truck manufactures. Scania must investigate how these autonomous vehicles should be constructed. The project goal is thereby to develop a chassis layout concept for an autonomous truck.

    ISSN 0216-5031 H a l a m a n | 81 The Kardashians : A Parasocial Phenomenon Joshua Eldi Setio Mahasiswa Jurusan Hubungan Internasional, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik, Universitas Katolik Parahyangan Abstrak Tayangan Realitas Keeping Up With The Kardashians membawa keuntungan besar pada keluarga Kardashian yang sekarang menikmati ketenaran dan kekayaan dari kegiatan tersebut tetapi apakah yang membuat keluarga Kardashian menjadi sangat terkenal? Mereka tidak menampilkan tarian atau menyanyi, mereka hanya tampil di acara realitas yang menampilkan kegiatan sehari-hari mereka dan mereka dibayar jutaan dollar untuk melakukannya, mereka juga membombardir para penggemar mereka dengan gambar dan snap tentang keseharian mereka. Paper ini dibuat untuk menjelaskan sebuah fenomena media internasional yang dimanfaatkan oleh keluarga Kardashian: penggunaan Soft Propaganda dalam berbagai sarana untuk memasarkan diri mereka kepada para pemirsa, Soft Propaganda sendiri mengacu kepada kegiatan propaganda yang memiliki tujuan untuk tujuan low politics yang tidak bersifat konfliktual seperti propaganda masa perang yang digunakan untuk menghadirkan dikotomi “kita-mereka”. Fenomena ini bukanlah sesuatu yang baru karena kita semua tahu bahwa setiap propaganda menggunakan interaksi parasosial untuk mempengaruhi para penerima pesan, tetapi dengan pengembangan teknologi media komunikasi membuat dampaknya jauh lebih besar di masa digital. Sejak lama sudah terbukti bahwa Komunikan dapat merasakan keintiman dengan komunikator tanpa harus bertemu secara langsung , namun peristiwa ini juga dapat menimbulkan masalah psikologis seperti radikalisasi dan pemujaan berlebihan terhadap idola. Memahami isu ini dapat membantu kita mengerti tentang penggunaan propaganda dalam lingkup sehari – hari baik dalam konteks bisnis maupun politik. Paper ini juga bertujuan untuk mengembalikan ketertarikan para peneliti kontemporer terhadap studi kebudayaan modern. Kata Kunci : Keintiman Para-Sosial, Kardashian, Propaganda, Media.
