PENERAPAN SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING PADA APLIKASI UJI PORTOFOLIO KOMPETENSI BERBASIS WEB (STUDI KASUS : PT. PLN (PERSERO) DISTRIBUSI BANTEN)

Competency Portfolio Test or also known as UPK, is a series of testing processes to obtain evidence that employee competencies can meet the desired level of competency or position requirements. Initially portfolio collection by employees of all PLN units in Banten to PLN Banten Distribution is still carried out manual so that there are many weaknesses including time and energy consuming, inefficient, and difficult to put together the portfolio documents that have been collected. In the previous assessment system during the assessment process can be found the same value so that later it will be difficult for assessors to select the portfolio of employees. This study aims to create a web-based application system that is used to facilitate employees in collecting portfolios and facilitate the assessment process in selecting employee portfolios. In this application applies the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method for the assessment process, where the criteria used are originality, analysis and synthesis, and systematics of writing. The data used were 5 with different weights in each criterion. This study took a case study at PT. PLN Distribution Banten.
Higher Education System: Key Subjects of Educational Policy

The article is devoted to the key subjects of educational policy, on which the quality of the educational sphere depends. One of these subjects is teachers of higher educational institutions as a special social group, which has a leading role in shaping the intellectual, professional and scientific potential of society. A lot of research is devoted to the problems of teachers, but the issues of their self-identification remain relevant and, at the same time, insufficiently studied. The capacity of narrow professionals to solve the complex tasks of social life is insufficient. Another key subject of educational policy is the state as a guarantor of quality higher education. In most European countries, the state, due to historical traditions and resources, remains the main guarantor of the national education system. In the article, on the basis of our own sociological studies conducted in one of Moscow universities among teachers and students, as well as a secondary analysis of sociological research data conducted in a number of regions and universities of the country, some problems were identified that prevent the creation of an effective management model in the field of education.
A Formal Treatment of Contract Signature

The article develops a logical understanding of processes for signature of legal contracts, motivated by applications to legal recognition of smart contracts on blockchain platforms. A number of axioms and rules of inference are developed that can be used to justify a “meeting of the minds” precondition for contract formation from the fact that certain content has been signed. In addition to an “offer and acceptance” process, the article considers “signature in counterparts”, a legal process that permits a contract between two or more parties to be brought into force by having the parties independently (possibly, remotely) sign different copies of the contract, rather than placing their signatures on a common copy at a physical meeting. It is argued that a satisfactory account of signature in counterparts benefits from a logic with syntactic self-reference. The axioms used are supported by a formal semantics, and a number of further properties of the logic are investigated. In particular, it is shown that the logic implies that when a contract has been signed, the parties do not just agree, but are in <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">mutual agreement</i> (a common-knowledge-like notion) about the terms of the contract.
Calibrated Multi-Probabilistic Prediction as a Defense against Adversarial Attacks.

Machine learning (ML) classifiers—in particular deep neural networks—are surprisingly vulnerable to so-called adversarial examples. These are small modifications of natural inputs which drastically alter the output of the model even though no relevant features appear to have been modified. One explanation that has been offered for this phenomenon is the calibration hypothesis, which states that the probabilistic predictions of typical ML models are miscalibrated. As a result, classifiers can often be very confident in completely erroneous predictions. Based on this idea, we propose the MultIVAP algorithm for defending arbitrary ML models against adversarial examples. Our method is inspired by the inductive Venn-ABERS predictor (IVAP) technique from the field of conformal prediction. The IVAP enjoys the theoretical guarantee that its predictions will be perfectly calibrated, thus addressing the problem of miscalibration. Experimental results on five image classification tasks demonstrate empirically that the MultIVAP has a reasonably small computational overhead and provides significantly higher adversarial robustness without sacrificing accuracy on clean data. This increase in robustness is observed both against defense-oblivious attacks as well as a defense-aware white-box attack specifically designed for the MultIVAP.
An appeal to the people: politeness strategies in the Malaysian prime minister’s maiden speech / Nadia Anuar and Nurizah Md Ngadiran

The use of politeness strategies has received increasing attention in the political discourse as a powerful persuasion tool. These strategies became critical for the newly appointed prime minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, to convince Malaysians that he is qualified to lead the country during political upheaval and global pandemic. Thus, the objectives of this paper are to identify the types and frequency of the politeness strategies used by Muhyiddin Yassin in his maiden speech as the eighth prime minister of Malaysia. Two categories of politeness strategies based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) were examined, which are negative strategies and positive strategies. The speech text was obtained from the official website of Prime Minister’s Office and was translated to English for analysis. The translated speech was subsequently checked for validity. Document analysis was used to analyse the translated speech text to determine the types and frequency of the politeness strategies. The analysis revealed that positive politeness strategies were significantly used (88%) compared to negative politeness strategies (12%). The most dominantly used positive politeness strategy was “notice and attend to the receiver’s need, interest, or want” while “use of exaggeration”, “seek agreement”, and “avoid disagreement” were the least used strategies. In contrast, “question” and “giving deference” were identified to be the most frequently used negative politeness strategies. The present study extends our knowledge on the use of politeness strategies in a political speech in an Asian setting, which is notably lacking in the literature.
A Comparative Study of Nature-Inspired Algorithm Based Hybrid Neural Network Training Algorithms in Data Classification

In the last few years, nature-inspired algorithm based optimized neural network training algorithms shown its efficiency to prove its superiority over many stand-ard algorithms. The use of the population-based technique has improved the accu-racy of the artificial neural network in an efficient manner and converge into the higher accuracy. These approaches are very much well known for solving different engineering and scientific problems. In this chapter, the algorithm and flowchart of the whole hybridization process of NI-algorithm and standard neural network training algorithm are discussed. The firefly and PSO optimization algorithms are considered in this work for analysis purpose. These techniques are with different parameter and hence the way to fix the parameters for that algorithm is also dis-cussed. The performance of these algorithms is finally tested over UCI machine learning data-set. The comparative analysis over the performance of those above-mentioned algorithms is produced to find the better one.

Criminal liability of copyright infringement under network environment: centered on internet service providers criminal responsibility

To fix the legislation gap of pre-law and criminal law, it is necessary to expand the meaning of constitutive requirements of “issuance” of crimes against copyright to get “network information transmission” involved. To avoid the standards of civil responsibility and criminal responsibility being inverted, it is necessary to replace the standard of server and the standard of social harmfulness with the standard of substantive visual presentation in recognizing the network information transmission behavior. Accordingly, the reason for deep linking behavior becoming the principal offender of crimes against copyright is not accomplice principal offenderization theory or social harmfulness theory, but that it substantially changes the presentation mode on works. If an Internet service provider is fully aware others implement crimes against copyright and still provides the technical service, it is not a neutral act without liability, but accessory of crimes against copyright. An Internet service provider has the responsibility of deleting the works infringing copyright or disconnecting linking, which comes from the risk of previous acts. That kind of omission against responsibility commits accessory of crimes against copyright.
Template-Based Adaptive Training Acceleration Framework for Deep Learning Algorithms

<p indent=0mm>Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is usually used to accelerate the training phase of deep learning algorithms, but it usually requires a long development cycle and rich hardware design expertise for satisfied execution performance. In order to deal with this challenge, an adaptive acceleration framework for deep learning algorithm is proposed in this paper. We investigate the application scale, parallel scheduling strategy, resource usage and the scalability of functionality. With the CPU-FPGA heterogeneous acceleration template based technology, an adaptive model compiler is proposed to customize the accelerator based on the algorithm’s complexity and hardware resources available. The proposed hardware and software co-design framework can effectively adapt to different FPGA hardware resources and support the fast evolution of deep learning algorithms. Taking the graph neural network as an example, it can obtain 7~41x performance improvements compared to the general purpose CPU platform.

Proper Scoring Rules for Evaluating Asymmetry in Density Forecasting

This paper proposes a novel asymmetric continuous probabilistic score (ACPS) for evaluating and comparing density forecasts. It extends the proposed score and defines a weighted version, which emphasizes regions of interest, such as the tails or the center of a variableâ€™s range.The ACPS is of general use in any situation where the decision maker has asymmetric preferences in the evaluation of the forecasts. In an artificial experiment, the implications of varying the level of asymmetry are illustrated.Then, the proposed score is applied to assess and compare density forecasts of macroeconomic relevant datasets (unemployment rate) and of commodity prices (oil and electricity prices) with a particular focus on the recent COVID crisis period.

Peer Review: Analisis Kontrastif Nominalisasi dalam Bahasa Inggris, Bahasa Indonesia, dan Bahasa Jawa

Along with verbs, nouns are very crucial—among other lexical and functional categories—in arranging linguistic constructions. Thus, there are many ways to change words from other word classes into nouns or known as nominalization. This paper aimsat describing the similarities and differences of nominalization in English, Indonesian, and Javanese. By contrasting three different languages, this study can give another insight on nominalization, especially for language teachers and students of language. This study employed qualitative method in accordance with the type of the data collected (i.e. clauses containing nominalized units). The data were collected usingmetode simak for English language data and researchers’ intuition as the native speakers of Indonesian and Javanese. English language data were collected from English grammar books. The approach used is contrastive analysis to compare three languages under study. The method of analysis is metode padan translational and metode agih. The results of the analysis show that generally these three languages use affixation,particles, and conversion as the nominalizers. English, however, differs from Indonesian and Javanese since it doesn’t have reduplication as nominalizer and the use of particle islimited to the initial position. Unlike English, Indonesian and Javanese tend to be alike and it is plausible since both are from the same language family. In the comparison it is figured out that there are three main similarities and six differences of the realizations of nominalization in English, Indonesian, and Javanese. The results are plausible due to the unrelatedness of English with Indonesian and Javanese.
The study of psychological problems of developmental stages of the family in modern times

The family is an integral part of society. More precisely, the family can be called the primary social group. We know that the family is a key component of the social structure of any society, performs various social functions and plays a key role in the development of society. As the society developed socio-economically and culturally in the ups and downs of the historical process, the family developed along with it and gained new features. Let's look at some definitions of the family in modern encyclopedias and dictionaries: The family is a small group based on marriage or blood relationship. Its members are connected to each other by domestic unity, mutual moral responsibility and mutual assistance. The innovations of each stage of family development, the immediate development zone and the possible forms of fixation or regression in the family development are all given in separate stages of development. The highlighted stages not only reflect the social changes in the family, but also the changes in life goals, values and social roles of family members through their prism.

‘HELP’ Community Based Online Platform

Nowadays, there are multiple service application that available in the market and also different kinds of service provide application. Most of the application may looks familiar to everyone but there are less of them which are actually aim on the needs and requirements of public and could not fulfil their needs.The rise of information and communication technologies, there are many company that aims to develop application that can attract the public and provide maximum benefits to people. People nowadays actually hope the service there request can be provided to the doorstep and they can request any services without going out from their house.The main purpose to carry out this project to develop a community based online platform, ‘HELP’ is to provide various services to the public and also provide job opportunity for the people in an application. There are many services requested from the public but no application that actually can provide on demand service to them. There are also many people that lack of opportunity to have a job and this application can help them to provide job opportunity to them.The special features and functions in the system is that user can request schedule services or emergency services based on their requirement. Other than that, there are many different fields of services such as home service, event service, beauty and fitness service provided. Those services provided are some services that people might needed in their daily life and always used. The project covers much more function than this such as e-wallet function, tracking features also.As a conclusion, HELP allows people to use as a customer or service provider. They are able to switch the user role anytime and anywhere as long as they are willing to request service or provide service as they want. When the application is available online, this might bring much benefits to the public more than expected.
