""Emma Donoghue's explosive new novel, based on an unsolved murder in 1876 San Francisco. Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heatwave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman called Jenny Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice--if he doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, FROG MUSIC digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other""

"ABSTRAKDongeng putri yang diproduksi oleh Disney telah menjadi salah satu jenis cerita yang membuat perusahaan Disney sangat terkenal. Stereotip putri-putri yang diproduksi oleh Disney pada awalnya berkulit putih. Seiringnya waktu, Disney mulai memfilmkan sebuah film animasi dengan putri yang lebih berwarna. Pada tahun 2009, Disney mengeluarkan putri ras Afrika-Amerika bernama Tiana melalui film The Princess and the Frog (2009). Namun ada ambiguitas yang tercermin dalam penggambaran karakter black dalam film ini. Untuk membantu menganalisis film ini, teori semiotikanya Barthes akan digunakan. Dengan teori tersebut penulis akan melihat bahwa di satu sisi Disney ingin menunjukan Amerika sudah “buta warna”. Film ini terlihat seperti sebuah cerminan yang dipercaya Disney benar dan ideal tentang masyarakat Amerika. Disisi lain, dalam cerminan masyarakat yang ideal ini, black masih tergambarkan dalam strata sosial bawah. Dari sini kita dapat melihat bahwa gagasan “semua manusia diciptakan sederajat” yang tertuliskan dalam deklarasi kemerdekaan Amerika, tidak sepenuhnya diterapkan dalam masyarakatnya.

ABSTRACTDisney princess fairytales have been one of the genres that made the Disney company so famous. At first, Disney princesses were stereotyped as white skinned. As time goes by, Disney started filming animated movies with more colored princesses. In 2009, Disney released a movie based on an African-American princess named Tiana through the movie „The Princess and the Frog‟ (2009). Ambiguities that tends to be racist are still deplicted in the film. To help analyzing this movie, Barthes‟ semiotics theory will be used. By using that theory, the writer will see that in one hand Disney is trying to convey that America has become “color blind”. This movie tends to picturize a reflection what Disney believe is true and ideal about the American society. On the other hand, inside that ideal society, blacks are still pictured as lower class. Here we see that the notion “all men are created equal” which is written in the declaration of Independence, is not fully implemented in the American society."

"Skripsi ini menganalisis perbedaan representasi Disney Princess yang terjadi pada kedua film animasi Disney, yaitu The Princess and the Frog dan Tangled. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan kecurigaan terhadap Disney Princess versi modern yang terkesan mendekonstruksi bentuk klasiknya. Untuk menganalisis masalah tersebut penulis menggunakan teori dekonstruksi dan feminisme pada bentuk arketipenya. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa untuk beberapa dekade konsep Disney Princess telah mengalami perubahan di beberapa bagiannya. Penulis menganggap perubahan yang parsial tersebut bukanlah sebuah dekonstruksi melainkan sebuah inovasi dalam pembentukan Disney Princess dilihat dari sudut pandang feminisme. Dengan demikian, dapat dikatakan bahwa konsep Disney Princess tidak mengalami dekonstruksi.

This undergraduate thesis focuses on Disney Princess different representation at both Disney animated movies, The Princess and the Frog and Tangled. The aim of this research is to find out the truth about modern Disney Princess which seems to deconstruct the classical form. To analyze the problem, deconstruction and feminism theory are used toward the archetype. The result of this research indicates that in some decades, Disney Princess concept has partially changed. The changes aren’t considered as a deconstruction but an innovation regarding feminism’s point of view. Therefore, it is assumed that deconstruction doesn’t occur toward Disney Princess concept."

"The studies of neuro-protection and neuro-therapy effects of Acalypha indica Linn. water extract ex vivo on Musculus gastrocnemius frog have already done at three Departments in Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. The experimental studies were done on 2 groups of frog for neuro-protection and neuro-therapy effects. Each group of frog was divided into 7 subgroups of application, 4 samples each. There were 5 subgroups of doses: 5; 10; 15; 20; 25 mg and 2 subgroups as control. Pancuronium bromide 0.2%, 4 mg, was used for a positive control as muscle relaxant. Neuroprotection study was done as follow: ringer - extract - pancuronium bromide, and neuro-therapy study was ringer - pancuronium bromide - extract, respectively. The parameters measured in these studies were the electrical activities such as amount and duration (second) of re-polarization; depolarization, resting potential, and the height of spike after electrical stimulation at 5 mV. Neuro-protection effect of extract was determined by the ability of muscle to show the electrical response after incubating with pancuronium bromide for 10 minutes, and after incubating with extract for 10 minutes for neuro-therapy effect. In the dose of 15 mg and 20 mg/mL of A. indica Linn. extract showed better activities than the dose of 25 mg of extract, both as neuro-protection and neuro-therapy effects, but statistically its have not a significant difference. This study should be followed by an in vivo experiment on frog and it would be done in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies on other animal models."
