KOMPETENSI BERBICARA PRAMUWISATA ARAB DI INDONESIA (STUDI KASUS DI KAWASAN PUNCAK)

Speaking is the most frequently used language competence for tourist guides. They use this competence in order to serve their guests optimally. This study aims to examine Arabic speaking competence of tourist guides in Puncak, West Java. This study uses a qualitative approach with various data collection techniques including participatory observation, indirect observation, and interviews with a number of key informants. The key informants in this research are tourist guides, tourist guide association committee, and tour operators in Puncak area. This study found that language acquisition methods affect the speaking competence of the tourist guide, which may increase over time depending on the intensity of interaction with tourists and language usage. These tourist guides show different levels of language proficiencies including grammar accuracy, different ability to avoid using slang, and involvement in various topics of conversation. Self-taught guides normally have limited abilities in almost all of the above indicators, while guides who studied Arabic either formally or semi-formally tend to be more competent although they cannot avoid using Arabic slang. Meanwhile, guides who learned Arabic from their interactions with native speakers tend to ignore grammar and language accuracy even though they are able to communicate effectively.

Diversification of the Nigerian Economy through Human Resource Development and Utilization

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the significance of diversification of Nigeria’s economy through human resource development and utilization. It is on record that most developed countries in the world diversified their economy through the development of their citizens and thereafter utilized them in all the sectors of the economy. The narrative research design was adopted as it involves the use of secondary sources of data from Newspapers, Journals, and other online sources. This paper concludes that diversification of the Nigerian economy measured in terms of human resource development and utilization in the areas of manufacturing diversification, financial diversification, foreign direct investment, fiscal diversification, regional diversification, and job diversification has the capacity of revitalizing and sustaining Nigeria's economy. Therefore, human resource development policies in Nigeria should focus on education, technology, biotechnology, agriculture, aircraft, vehicle manufacturing, manufacturing of military gadgets such as weaponry and drones. The Nigerian government should also implement equal regionalization of industrial zones for equitable distribution of resources across all regions to avoid marginalization.

Use of Mobile Phones in Improving Livelihoods among Horticultural Farmers in Parts of Kaduna Northern Guinea Savannah Eco-zone: Empirical Study of Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State

The study examined the use of mobile phones in improving the livelihoods of rural horticultural crop farmers in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Eighty (80) questionnaires were sampled among horticultural crop farmers who own and use mobile phones and seventy-six (76) questionnaires were retrieved. A multistage sampling technique was used in sampling the respondents. The data collected is analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results showed that 46.05% are males and 53.95% are females, 26.32% were between 31-40 years, 55.26% were married and 52.63% had at least secondary education. Data further revealed that 52.63% have owned handsets for at least 4-6years and 56.58% obtained the sets from personal savings. Mobile phone usage improved the livelihood in reducing transport cost which was highlighted by 96.05% of the sampled farmers, reduced exploitation/low pricing by middlemen and improved income of producers (84.21%). It also enhanced interaction among rural horticultural crop farmers at different locations (92.11%). Poor network coverage (39.47%), poor power supply (19.74%) and theft/loss of handsets (10.53%) are the major constraints associated with mobile phone usage. The regression analysis showed significant relationship between age, household size, educational status and use of mobile phone (P&lt;0.05) level of significance. Therefore, it is recommended that Federal Government should improve electricity supply to rural farm communities and provides economic incentives, such as tax deductions for imported equipment, for mobile service providers to expand their mobile service coverage in rural/horticultural production areas. Furthermore, the state and local government should improve rural electricity supply to enable rural horticultural crops farmers utilize the full potentials of mobile phones.
Modeling and Predicting Piped Water Theft using Machine Learning Approach

Water theft is a major challenge to water distribution companies in most communities around the world.This results into unbalanced water flow and damage to the water pipes.The resulting high level of nonrevenue water does not only lower income generation but also the quality of service.The recent advances in the field of Machine Learning have seen its latest application to a wide range of fields.This work proposes a Random Forest (RF) prediction Model to accurately detect water theft along the distribution network.Data for training and testing purposes was collected through experimentation over a 3 hour period in 10 seconds intervals using a system prototype of two Arduino microcontrollers programmed and interfaced with water flow rate sensors with the ability to adopt a normal flow rate value after a small time delay.Therefore flow rate fluctuations outside a range of ±2 litres/minute were taken as abnormal flow.The proposed RF model was evaluated on four statistical measures namely; accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure, and compared with three competitive approaches that is, logistic regression (LR), Support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest Neighbour (KNN).Experimental results show no significant differences observed in accuracy and F-measure among the four models, while the proposed RF gives a higher value of recall.Conclusively, the proposed classifier has advantages compared with the other approaches in terms of reliable feature importance estimate and efficiency in test error estimation without incurring the cost of repeated model training associated with cross-validation.
Contradiction Medium and the Existence Question

The process of human understanding of the world starts from viewing complex chaos, proceeding to monism followed by the contradiction theory, and finally returning to complexity theory, but without giving up the pursuit of monism. Lao-Tzu and Heraclitus put forward their own theories of unity of opposites at almost the same time. The thought of unity of opposites has long been contained in the theory of yin and yang and the Book of Changes. In the ontology of information evolution, existence and nonexistence (you and wu in Chinese) can also be roughly interpreted as a contradictory relationship. Existence and nonexistence are two opposing worlds. Our understanding of existence needs medium. We can only indirectly grasp the current meaning of existence after the transmission of multilayer mediums and the distortion and loss of information. Aristotle mentioned the notion of medium, but the real world cannot be explained by his ideas. All transformational processes of existence rely on medium. The transformation process of existence and nonexistence is different from the transformation process in the domain of existence. There is no need to rely on medium.
The Relationship Among Associate Pastor's Calling, Pastoral Stress, Self-Esteem and Job Satisfaction

This study aims to acknowledge the relationship between the sense of calling and pastoral stress, self-esteem and job satisfaction.For this, 583 assistant pastors were surveyed using random sampling, 487 final results were used for the final analysis for except the insincere ones.The results of the study are as follows.First, as a result of observing the kind of influence on an assistant pastor's sense of calling, pastoral stress, self-esteem on job satisfaction, the explanatory power that explains an assistant pastor's job satisfaction is high in the order of pastoral stress, self-esteem, and sense of calling.Secondly, after observing the results of the intermediary role between the assistant pastor's sense of calling, pastoral stress, self-esteem and job satisfaction, the sense of calling gives a significant influence on job satisfaction by the medium of pastoral stress and self-esteem, and it shows the indirect mediated effect.
A new numerical method for level set motion in normal direction used in optical flow estimation

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We present a new numerical method for the solution of level set advection equation describing a motion in normal direction for which the speed is given by the sign function of the difference of two given functions. Taking one function as the initial condition, the solution evolves towards the second given function. One of possible applications is an optical flow estimation to find a deformation between two images in a video sequence. The new numerical method is based on a bilinear interpolation of discrete values as used for the representation of images. Under natural assumptions, it ensures a monotone decrease of the absolute difference between the numerical solution and the target function, and it handles properly the discontinuity in the speed due to the dependence on the sign function. To find the deformation between two functions (or images), the backward tracking of characteristics is used. Two numerical experiments are presented, one with an exact solution to show an experimental order of convergence and one based on two images of lungs to illustrate a possible application of the method for the optical flow estimation.
Special issue of Teams in Multiagent Systems (TEAMAS): Preface

The latter part of the 20 th and the beginning of the 21 st centuries have witnessed a significant transformation from work organised around individual jobs to team-based work structures together with a focus on organisational efficiency.This is due to the increasing complexity of tasks, which in many cases cannot be performed by single individuals.Additionally, changes in technology facilitate workers in distinct locations to communicate and collaborate at low or no cost.On that account, team composition and formation research is of interest to both companies to assure their competitiveness and to a wide range of emerging applications exploiting multiagent collaboration (e.g.crowdsourcing, human-agent collaborations).

RELATIONSHIP USING LEARNING MEDIA WITH SELF CONCEPTThe aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the use of learning media and self-concept. The research approach uses quantitative with correlational study methods. The study data was obtained using a questionnaire tool for both variables. The validity test of the use of instructional media and self-concept tools was calculated using the Pearson Product Moment formula and the reliability coefficient was calculated using the Cronbach Alpha formula. The population consisted of VA, VB and VC students from the District 2 Primary School. A sample of 48 students was obtained using the Taro Yamane formula. Testing the analysis requirements in the form of normality tests (Liliefors). After the normality test is performed, a homogeneity test is then performed (Fisher). Data declared normal and homogeneous are used to test hypotheses, the results of which indicate that the use of instructional media has a positive and significant relationship with self-concept. Statistical analysis yields a correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.69, which means that the relationship level is classified as strong and a count of 8.80 is higher than ttable with a significant level of 0.05 of 2.021, meaning significant. It can therefore be concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between the use of instructional media and the self-concepts of students.
Implementation of Fuzzy Logic Control for Navigation System in Mobile Robot Omnidirectional

Robot omnidirectional is a type of wheeled robot that can move efficiently in various directions.Generally, this robot uses Omni wheels.In this study, the mobile robot omnidirectional was developed to move freely in reaching the target point.The robot uses four Omni wheels, where the direction of movement of the robot uses kinematic analysis.The method used for the movement of this robot is fuzzy logic control.The fuzzy logic controller accepts input from five proximity sensors, and the output produces the action of the movement of the robot.Fuzzy logic control in a robot is designed to work on two behaviors, namely avoiding obstacles and approaching the target.The obstacle avoidance behavior is active if the sensors detect an object or wall, while the behavior of approaching the target is based on the error value between the actual position and the reference.The experimental results show that the robot can navigate with good movement in avoiding obstacles and reaching the specified targets.

The notion of scientific authority in the publishing of research: evolution of forms, changes of authority?

Some practices of scientific text creation were known since 13th century, however it is generally recognized that scientific book publishing started with invention of typography. That’s when scientists got the opportunity to make reference to printed media in order to back-up and build their research. Through centuries the authority belonged to academicians and members of scientific organizations consolidating professionals in information distribution, such as librarians and information search system operators. In the late 1900s economic dictate of large commercial publishing houses began to do more and more harm to science. Digital technologies development led many scientists to the Web where they headed network scientific publication projects intended to free the researchers from commercial editors’ yoke. Electronic devices use started the process of revision of scientific authority mechanisms, giving the authority back to those who make science. There is one step from open access to open science and prospects of renewed authority: collective and cooperation based.
