ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMPETENCE AS A PART OF CAREER AND LIFE MANAGEMENT

In this article, the concept of competitiveness of graduates is considered and the oft-repeated requirements of employers for job applicants are identified, in particular, the requirements for knowledge of foreign languages are considered. There is given a combination of some advices to compete and fit to realm of modern labor market. Today's modernized era demands and needs young people who are flexible, creative and proactive, who can solve problems, make decisions, think critically and communicate ideas effectively and work efficiently within teams. Apart from that, foreign languages are also increasingly sought after by employers. Businesses are willing to invest in acquiring staff with strong language skills. As the world becomes more global the demand for professionals who can communicate in multiple languages is growing. Speaking more than one language has been shown to increase skills like open-mindedness, empathy and creativity: all important for career success and progression, no matter what level of language knowledge. The opportunity and resources to learn a foreign language are much more easily available today than in the past. Career is one of the most important motivators for foreign language learning. As the advancement of technology contributes to many new career options, a multilingual person has more chances of landing the right job. German is one of the 12 most spoken languages in the world. It is the second most commonly used scientific language. Summer jobs in Germany allow to gain new work experience abroad, helps in learning German and are an excellent way for students to enjoy discovering a new way of life. Having a part-time job can also help start gaining work experience and establishing professional contacts. It is recommended to apply for a job related to the relevant field of study or specialization. The linguistic and cultural competences enable the individual to develop a rounded personality and an enhanced capacity for further language learning and greater openness to new cultural experiences. According to Common European Framework of reference for language learning methods of foreign language teaching which will strengthen independence of thought, judgement and action, combined with social skills and responsibility should be promoted.

Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Belajar Membaca Al-Qur'an Berbasis Android

Reading the Al-Qur'an has always been a culture of Indonesian society, however recently the Al-Qur'an has begun to be abandoned. Muslims are more engrossed in following games and social media with fun playing than opening the Al-Quran mushaf. In order not to have hijaiyah illiterate young people, they must carry out learning that follows the present era, such as learning applications that are not inferior to applications that make young Muslims lazy, the main target in the learning method of reading the Al-Quran application is children at an early age to learn it because children at an early age have quite good comprehension and memory. Based on the background that the authors convey above, the authors are interested in conducting further research on learning methods based on reading the Al-Quran application. The system development method used in this study uses the RAD (Rapid Application Development) Model. Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a software development process model that is incremental, especially for short processing times. The results of the research show that learning with an interactive system increases children's interest in starting the initial learning process. In addition, interactive games are an alternative in conveying learning among other methods.
SHAPING A COMPOSITIONAL NETWORK WITH COMPUTER

The program has been entirely realized with Xavier Rodet's and Pierre Cointe's FORMES system which runs on IRCAM's VAX 11/780 computer. The version of CHANT includes the Formant Wave Functions synthesis technique as well as a bank of time-varying filters. I shaped in my mind some primary models for musical situations. Starting from these models, I intended to control various musical parameters, without forgetting their particular features. I have been interested since a long time in the idea of musical interpolation and processes. Within one sound, a simple interpolation can be made between two values, or between the circular matrix where each value, when repeated, has changed, and thus continually changes the total character of the pattern. My object is to produce a multilevel network of continually changing but controlled items. Another interesting aspect - the same rhythmic process, since these two instruments, because of their different natures, give emphasis to different aspects of a given model. For example an even ostinato of five notes changes into an ostinato of seven notes in such a way that two notes are simply divided into two. I wanted to adapt it next to the control of dynamics. One of my objectives concerning timbre is to produce a precise timbre change on each tone. This kind of pointillistic texture can then be combined with interpolations of greater line occuring within other timbre factors or other parameters. I created sounds where various timbre elements advance independently when two different times are used within the same sound. For me, the pitch organization is at present one of the most complicated themes in computer music composition, simply because the possibilities are endless and a very open, creative attitude is needed to explore them.
Embedding information into JPEG images with distortion masking in frequency domain

Steganography allows to ensure the confidentiality of information by organizing covert data transmission channels. However, the effectiveness of steganographic information protection directly depends on the invisibility of a secret message, both for the human eye and for steganalysis methods. The paper proposes an approach that allows solving the problem of vulnerability of the popular QIM embedding method to statistical steganalysis. For this, it is proposed to use a variable quantization step, which is adaptively selected for each block of the JPEG cover image. The experimental results demonstrate an increase in the security level of steganographic embedding due to the application of the proposed approach.
Pengenalan Aktivitas Manusia pada Area Tambak Udang dengan Convolutional Neural Network

Thievery is a problem that can harm theft victims. Thievery usually occurs at night when there is no supervision of goods in a location. To avoid thievery and monitor conditions in a location, CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) cameras can be used. However, the function of CCTV camera systems is only a passive monitoring systems. In this paper, a human activity recognition is designed using CCTV cameras to produce a security system. Inputs on the recognition process are videos obtained from CCTV cameras installed in the shrimp pond. Human activity recognition that is used in this study is Convolutional Neural Network. Before the human activity recognition was carried out, the program first detected humans with the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm and tracking it with the SORT (Simple Online and Realtime Tracking) algorithm. The results obtained from the human activity recognition is class labels on human objects that are tracked.&#x0D;
Hierarchical long short-term memory for action recognition based on 3D skeleton joints from Kinect sensor

Action recognition has been used in a wide range of applications such as human-computer interaction, intelligent video surveillance systems, video summarization, and robotics. Recognizing action is important for intelligent agents to understand, learn and interact with the environment. The recent technology that allows the acquisition of RGB+D and 3D skeleton data and a deep learning model's development significantly increases the action recognition model's performance. In this research, hierarchical Long Sort-Term Memory is proposed to recognize action based on 3D skeleton joints from Kinect sensor. The model uses the 3D axis of skeleton joints and groups each joint in the axis into parts, namely, spine, left and right arm, left and right hand, and left and right leg. To fit the hierarchically structured layers of LSTM, the parts are concatenated into spine, arms, hands, and legs and then concatenated into the body. The model crosses the body in each axis into a single final body and fed to the final layer to classify the action. The performance is measured using cross-view and cross-subject evaluation and achieves accuracy 0.854 and 0.837, respectively, from the 10 action classes of the NTU RGB+D dataset.
SISTEM INFORMASI PEMESANAN RUANGAN MEETING BERBASIS WEB APP MENGUNAKAN FRAMEWORK CODEIGNITER PADA PT BARATA INDONESIA – CILEGON, BANTEN

Along with the development of the technology field at the company PT. Barata Indonesia, needs support to assist organizational activities, such as in ordering meeting rooms. Currently, information of meeting rooms availability and ordering at PT. Barata Indonesia still hasn't used technology so the process of ordering a meeting room is by contacting the room admin to ask about the availability of the place to be booked. This is less effective because the customer cannot know directly which room can be used for meetings and according to the capacity of the person. Therefore, this application is made to facilitate ordering meeting rooms at the company. The development of this meeting room reservation information system uses the SDLC Waterfall method which aims to simplify and speed up information access. The development of this Meeting Room Reservation Information System uses the CodeIgniter 3 Framework, which has 2 (two) interfaces, namely FrondEnd, which is the start page of the web application that is displayed for visitors and BackEnd is the admin page to process the required information data sources. The results of the system trial show that the application of the Meeting Room Booking Information System can provide more flexible information.
Listening Learning of Indonesian for Speakers of Other Languages (BIPA) for Academic Purposes

Indonesian is now increasingly in demand to be studied by foreign speakers for various purposes. One of the purposes for foreign speakers to learn Indonesian is related to academic purpose. BIPA learning with academic purposes has different characteristics from BIPA learning in general. This study aims to describe listening learning in the BIPA program for academic purposes at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta based on the aspects of learning preparation and implementation which includes learning activities, learning materials, learning media, learning assessments, problems, and solutions in learning. The subject of this research is a lecturer of listening skills in the BIPA program for academic purposes in the class of Yunnan Minzu University, China. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and document study. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and verification. The validity of the research data was carried out using triangulation methods. The results showed that the learning preparation was carried out by making a syllabus and developing learning materials. Listening learning activities were carried out through pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening activities. Listening learning materials tailored the academic needs and adjusted to the speaking skills that learners will learn. The learning media used are handouts, audio, and video that were connected from the laptop to speakers and/or projectors. Learning assessment was carried out at the middle of the semester and the end of the semester. Problems encountered in learning include a technical problem and a non-technical problem. To overcome technical problems, the lecturer reported this to the program manager for improvement, while for non-technical problems, the lecturer was proactive to ask the students. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the planning and implementation of listening learning in the BIPA program for academic purposes is following the principles of learning listening in a second or foreign language. However, some things need attention related to technical and non-technical problems that occur so that they can be minimized.
PECHAKUCHA EN LAS AULAS UNIVERSITARIAS: DESARROLLANDO LA COMPETENCIA COMUNICATIVA

In order for university students to become the protagonists of their learning process, it is necessaryto promote a change in the teaching model based on an active role for them and to enable them todevelop significant learning and the necessary skills to face the new challenges they face in society.This also occurs in the development of communication skills in students. In this context we find thePechakucha presentation system, which follows a 20X20 format (20 slides and 20 seconds longeach). In the present investigation, through a mixed methodology of evaluation, it has been possibleto deepen on the one hand the potentialities and limitations perceived by the students in relation tothe methodology, on the other hand, it has been possible to delimit the self-perceived learning andin addition, proposals of improvement have been collected. The results highlight that thismethodology is motivating and develops aspects normally not worked on throughout the degree suchas the development and implementation of an individual oral presentation, proving effective tounderstand and synthesize the topics developed, and maintain the attention of the listener.
Teaching Material on Writing Fantasy Story Incorporating the Local Culture

Fantasy stories are imaginative texts with magical characters and backgrounds. A fantasy story about a primitive topic constantly needs some innovation to remain relevant. One of the ways to do that is by integrating local culture into the story. Local culture embodies the ideas and/or values, local views that are wise, full of wisdom, and that are embedded and followed by every member of the community. Writing a fantasy story based on local culture does not mean it loses its imaginative and magical elements. Local culture as a story idea or theme has various benefits for students, including: (1) preserving culture, (2) promoting moral values, (3) representative experience, (4) fostering empathy, (5) generating imagination and inspiration, and (6) the pleasure of reading. To include local culture content in students’ writing, a context approach can be used. The context approach assumes that while writing, the writer is actually oriented towards the purpose of writing and the reader is the target thereof. With this innovation, students can better understand, inspire, and preserve culture through learning. The novelty of this study is an analysis of local culture that can be collaborated into story ideas or themes for writing fantasy storyboards.&#x0D; Keywords: teaching material, writing, fantasy story, local culture

Dynamics of Content Contributors’ Performance: Evidence from a Social Question-and-Answer Community

This paper concerns the dynamics of contributor performance in a social content-sharing community. Based on ability-motivation-opportunity theory, we propose a hidden Markov model to characterize the change in a contributor’s latent state, which then determines performance in terms of quantity and quality. The proposed model is calibrated using data from a social question-and-answer community. Three latent states are identified: unmotivated, motivated but incompetent, and motivated and competent. Several factors influence the state-transition process. Specifically, the increase in followers encourages contributors in the unmotivated state to transition to the motivated states. When the contributors are motivated but incompetent, observing the behavior of their followings increases the probability of their transitioning to the motivated and competent state. In addition, direct experience boosts all contributors to higher states. The modeling framework and findings of this study have implications for contributor performance management in a variety of settings.
The Relationship of Structural Empowerment and Organizational Commitment Among Staff Nurses in Saudi Arabia: A Comparative Correlational Cross-sectional Study

Purpose: This study aimed to examine and compare the relationship between structural empowerment and organizational commitment in Saudi and non-Saudi registered nurses working in Saudi Arabia. The factors that predict organizational commitment among the two study population were also studied. Methods: Using a descriptive comparative correlational cross-sectional research design, the study was carried out in three governmental hospitals in the Eastern Province- Saudi Arabia. A convenience sample of (N = 398) inpatient Saudi and non-Saudi nurses were included in this study. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and one-way ANOVA. Findings: Statistically significant positive partial correlations were found between structural empowerment and organizational commitment. Non-Saudi nurses perceived higher levels of structural empowerment and commitment compared to Saudis. Implications for Theory, Practice, and Policy: Through the application of Kanter’s (1977,1993) and Spreitzer’s (1995) conceptual models, this study provided imperative and currently unavailable data that should be the foundation for future studies in the Saudi context and worldwide. Findings of this study provide evidence for the nursing authority figures to understand the relationships between empowerment and organizational commitment among nurses working in Saudi Arabia and facilitate the necessary changes to improve the current working conditions and nurses’ retention.
