Authors: Grzęda Łukasz
Published: July 2019

The article presents the results of the analysis of factors influencing the development of the Mazowieckie Province (Masovia) in the years 2007–2016. Data for the study were collected from the Central Statistical Office and Statistical Yearbooks of the Mazowieckie Province. The results indicate that the level of development of Masovia is considerably higher than of other provinces in the country. At the end of the analyzed period, in Masovia the GDP per capita was almost twice as high as the national average. Masovia held the highest share in Poland’s GDP (22%). Important factors positively affecting the development of Masovia are: positive population growth and improving demographic situation, and broad access to telecommunications. Additional factors of the dynamic Masovia’s development are: extensive transportation infrastructure (104.3 km per 100 km2) and high number of students (236.5 thousand) and college graduates (60.8 thousand) who constitute the future substantive resources of the province’s economy.
Modern challenges of creating tourism brand of Kazakhstan
Authors: Mussina Kamshat
Published: July 2019

The article is dedicated to studying contemporary situation and problems of tourism brand development in Kazakhstan. The results of the conducted survey have show that consumers are interested in such tourist-and-recreational resources as natural reserves and national parks and monuments, the Yassavi mausoleum, the branded direction – Borovoye and the mountains, as well as the symbol of the country could become the Golden man or the snow leopard. The research is based on authors own empirical research on the issues regarding tourists awareness and preferences, as well as experts’ survey. The empirical research was provided based on literature review, primary data (in form of tourists surveys), secondary data collection, analysis and synthesis. To survey tourists a structured questionnaire was designed; 96 people were surveyed, including 55 women and 41 men as a random sampling. The experts’ survey was conducted in free form, and eight experts were surveyed. As was evidenced by the study results, international tourists are particularly interested in authentic cuisine as well as activities. Moreover, the research revealed that a gap between the way Kazakhstan officially defines its identity and the actual brand image the country has for now as a tourist destination.
Demographic changes in rural and semi-urban areas in Poland (2003-2016)
Authors: Pomianek Iwona , Kapaj Ana
Published: July 2019

The demographic potential, especially in the peripheral and remote areas, Has been deteriorating. Negative natural increase, low or negative migration balances, unfavourable values of the feminisation index and growing relation of the number of people at post-working age to the number of people at working age have been threatening rural development. The aim of the research was to show spatial concentrations of municipalities (LAU 2 level) with a similar level of demographic potential. The study was carried out for 2169 municipalities (LAU 2 level), including rural and semi-urban (urban-rural, including small towns) ones. It was based on the data from the Statistics Poland. The municipalities were are ranked by the level of demographic potential (by 4 variables) and put into 5 groups by the potential level using the taxonomic development measure of Hellwig. The results were presented in maps using cartogram method. The most favourable and promising situation according to demographic potential is observed in central and southern Poland, especially in semi-urban and suburban areas of large cities. The worst demographic potential level and at the same time the least favourable demographic forecasts concern mostly the Eastern Poland, already known as problem area. The spiral of negative conditions accelerates, causing more disadvantages, making young people looking for new places to work and live, deepening current demographic problems and leading to socio-economic development pathologies.

Published: July 2019

The objective of this paper is to raise awareness of the risk of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (steam explosions) in heating systems in Serbia caused by a combination of the following factors: solid fuel burning, older boiler design, closed systems, and non-installation of heat dissipation devices. The practice is in accordance with neither Standard SRPS EN 303-5:2012 nor subject literature, which both demand that this type of heating be installed in open systems. Explosions do occur; there was one in 2014 in Futog, Serbia, with fatal consequences. The main protection element, safety valve, is designed for temperatures up to 110?C. Its operation above 110?C is unknown. The experiment physically simulated the worst case scenario, where there is no circulation in the heating system. It used a 90 L water-filled vessel with six 3 kW electric heaters installed and safety valves attached. This paper presents the first results for the case where the set pressure of the safety valve was 1.5 bar and one heater of 3 kW was in operation. The results showed that the safety valve did not prevent boiling. The recorded pressure peaks were at 2.2 bar and the lows were at 0.8 bar, so its operation intensified boiling. Therefore, the system cannot be considered safe even with a brand new safety valve and at low overheating rates. Better air removal in the system is to be solved in future experiments. Tests will be done with different safety valves and overheating rates.
Application of analytical and CFD models of liquid fuels combustion in a fluidized bed
Authors: Mladenovic Milica , Nemoda Stevan , Paprika Milijana , Marinkovic Ana
Published: July 2019

In Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy of Institute Vinca, University of Belgrade, a 2-D CFD modeling procedure of numerical simulation of unconventional liquid fuel combustion in bubbling fluidized bed has been developed. This procedure is based on a two-fluid Euler-Euler approach modeling a fluidized bed with the determination of the velocities field of gas and particulates in two-phase, granular flows, analog to the kinetic theory of gases. This model describes in detail the unsteady motion of gas and solid phases, the formation and movement of bubbles with the combustion process in the fluidized bed, but temperature profiles calculated by the bed height differ to some extent from the experimentally obtained profiles. This discrepancy is probably due to the inability of a two-fluid CFD model to give a realistic simulation of the liquid fuel mixing in a fluidized bed. Therefore, an analytical model has been developed, where one of the basic assumptions is that the particles are mixed in the vertical direction of fluidized bed mainly by the bubble wakes. The proposed zonal type of calculating procedure is based on Davidson and Harrison two-phase model of the bubbling fluidized bed, where fluidized bed is divided into zones within which material and energy balances are set.
The effect of water’s presence around the Phase Change Material
Authors: Shili Haythem , Fahem Kamel , Harmand Souad , Ben Jabrallah
Published: July 2019

As part of the research in the field of thermal control of electronic components, a phase change material is confined in a liquid and is heated vertically on one side by a hot plate. The presence of the liquid around the phase change material prevents the formation of air bubbles produced in case of direct contact between the hotplate and the phase change material (extends the lifetime of the phase change material by reducing overheating zones). It improves heat transfer by increasing the thermal conductivity around the phase change material (raising the thermal exchange surface) and by accelerating the convective transfer. This work examines experimentally and numerically the effect of the water on the phase change material and on the heating plate. The water is used around the phase change material and a comparative study of the comportment of some important parameters like the melt front form, melting time, flow direction, temperature, and operating time is realized. It is found that the presences of the liquid around the phase change material seems to be more interesting for a thermal protection role than the standard case of the phase change material directly heated by the hotplate.

Published: July 2019

In this study, the influences of injection timing and exhaust gas re-circulation on combustion and emissions characteristics of biodiesel/2-methylfuran blends are investigated on a modified water-cooled 4-cylinder four-stroke direct injection compression ignition engine. The experimental conditions are, respectively, to adjust injection timing and exhaust gas re-circulation ratio at 0.38 MPa break mean effective pressure with the engine speed at 1800 rpm constantly. With injection timing in advance, the peak cylinder pressure rose while maximum heat re-lease rate first decreased and next slightly raised. Ignition delay and brake specific fuel consumption reduced first and then raised while combustion duration and break thermal efficiency had the opposite trend. The NOx emissions in-creased, and HC emissions first reduced significantly and then slightly increased, while 1,3-butadiene and acetaldehyde emissions presented a reduction tendency. As exhaust gas re-circulation ratio increased gradually, ignition delay as well as combustion duration was prolonged. brake specific fuel consumption increased and break thermal efficiency declined. HC, CO, 1,3-butadiene, and acetaldehyde emissions raised while NOx emissions reduced significantly. Biodiesel could be-have well in a Diesel engine and thus a feasible alternative fuel for diesel. More-over, methylfuran addition into biodiesel could raise break thermal efficiency and the break thermal efficiency of BM20 is higher than BM10. However, both BM10 and BM20 appeared a combustion deterioration when injection timing at 2.5?CA before top head center.
Analytical and numerical treatment to study the effects of hall currents with viscous dissipation, heat absorpation and chemical reaction on peristaltic flow of Carreau nanofluid
Authors: Eldabe Nabil , Ramadan Shaimaa , Awad Amera
Published: July 2019

The peristaltic flow of Carreau nanofluid with heat and mass transfer through porous medium inside a symmetric horizontal channel with flexible walls is investigated. The Hall currents with viscous dissipation, heat absorption and chemical reaction are considered, the system is stressed by a uniform strong magnetic field. The problem is modulated mathematically by a system of non-linear PDE which describe the motion, heat and nanoparticles phenomenon of the fluid. These equations with subjected boundary conditions are transferred to a dimensionless form and simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number, then solved analytically by using perturbation technique for small Weissen-berg number. In other word these equations are solved also numerically by using Runge-Kutta-Merson method with Newton iteration in a shooting and matching technique. The effects of the emerging physical parameters of the problem on the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticles phenomena are discussed numerically for both techniques used for solutions and illustrated graphically through a set of figures. It is found that this problem plays a dramatic role in controlling the solutions. A comparison between the obtained solutions from both methods is made.
Numerical investigation of heat transfer in film layer under supersonic condition of convergent-divergent transition
Authors: Zhang Bo , Hong Quan , Bai Yun , Li Jiquan , Ji Honghu
Published: July 2019

The distribution of film cooling effectiveness in supersonic mainstream of circle-rectangular Convergent-Divergent transition has been numerically investigated under different pressure ratios. The shock wave exerted superior influence on film cooling. In supersonic main flow, extra compression waves formed in upstream of the film holes, resulted by the obstruction of the multiple cooling jets. This exerted extra pressure to the boundary-layer, induced adverse pressure gradient, and led to weakening of the film flow attachment ability and decreasing of local cooling effectiveness. Bow oblique shock wave occurred in front of holes, the two oblique bow shaped low pressure zones formed on both sides of the hole, and low cooling effectiveness zones appeared accordingly. The inefficient region at the leading edge of the hole destroyed the film developing between holes, decreased the cooling effectiveness accumulation in the rear part. The decrease of hole incline angle caused an increase of cooling effectiveness, which reduced reverse velocity gradient caused by shock wave in the boundary-layer and improved film attachment. The influence of main flow pressure ratio to film cooling was also investigated, and found with increasing of the ratio, the influence will became even significant.
Thermal analysis of end pumped fiber lasers subjected to jacket fluid cooling
Authors: El Haj , Bani Han , Al-Sawafta Israa , Sedaghat Ahmad , Alshabi Mohammad , Rahman Shek
Published: July 2019

End pumped lasers are highly efficient lasers particularly in diode lasers using micro lenses. The common cooling method for end-pumped systems is using water jacket or copper tube surrounding the laser rod. In this paper, the temperature distribution within a water jacket and a fiber laser end pumped by a top hat beam is studied analytically. The temperature distribution is obtained by considering the radial heat convection with fully developed laminar flow neglecting the axial heat conduction. The effect of laser dimensions and the Brinkman number on the temperature distribution are presented. The results indicate that the temperature distribution is strongly dependent on the Brinkman number. The results are presented in dimensionless form so that they can be applied to any end-pumped laser rod and fluid types. The main output of this work is that it is better for cooling purposes to have low Br values.
Auditor Perceptions of Audit Workloads, Audit Quality, and Job Satisfaction
Authors: Persellin Julie S. , Schmidt Jaime J. , Vandervelde Scott D. , Wilkins Michael S.
Published: July 2019

SYNOPSIS

We survey over 700 auditors about audit workloads and the relationship between audit workloads, perceived audit quality, and job satisfaction. Our findings indicate that auditors are working, on average, five hours per week above the threshold at which they believe audit quality begins to deteriorate and often 20 hours above this threshold at the peak of busy season. Survey respondents cite deadlines and staffing shortages as two of the primary reasons for high workloads and further believe that high workloads result in decreased audit quality. We also find that auditors' job satisfaction is negatively impacted by high audit workloads, particularly when the workloads exceed a threshold that is perceived to impair audit quality. Overall, our findings provide support for the PCAOB's concern that heavy workloads are continuing to threaten audit quality, and suggest that the primary drivers of workloads might be the actual “root cause” of workload-related audit deficiencies.

Responsibility Centers, Decision Rights, and Synergies
Authors: Baldenius Tim , Michaeli Beatrice
Published: July 2019

We consider the optimal allocation of decision rights over noncontractible specific investments. Risk-averse business unit managers each engage in general (stand-alone) operations and invest in joint projects that benefit their own and other divisions. Which of the managers should have the authority to choose these investments? With scalable investments, we show that decision rights should be bundled in the hands of the manager facing the more volatile environment. With discrete (lumpy) investments, on the other hand, decision rights should be split between the managers, provided they face comparable levels of uncertainty in their general operations. Splitting decision rights better leverages the inherent investment complementarity, counter to conventional wisdom. Our model generates empirical predictions for the equilibrium association of organizational structure and managers' incentive contracts: bundling of decision rights results in pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) divergence across divisions; splitting them results in PPS convergence.

The Effect of a Prompt to Adopt the Prudent Official's Perspective on Auditors' Judgments of the Severity of Control Deficiencies
Authors: Asare Stephen Kwaku , Wright Arnold M.
Published: July 2019

Regulators have expressed concerns about auditors' tendency to over-rely on imprecise compensating controls when evaluating the severity of control deficiencies. We provide evidence on whether prompting auditors to use a prudent official's evaluative perspective will mitigate this tendency. We hypothesize that auditors who are prompted to adopt the prudent official's perspective evaluate compensating controls and the severity of control deficiencies more effectively than those who are not prompted. We examine our hypotheses by manipulating a prompt to adopt the prudent official's perspective (present versus absent) and the precision of compensating controls (precise versus imprecise) in a 2 × 2 between subjects experiment where experienced auditors evaluate a revenue control deficiency that resulted in an immaterial misstatement. The experimental results are consistent with our hypotheses and support the conclusion that regulators and firms can alter auditors' evaluative perspective to achieve more effective assessment of risk-related conditions.
How Do Auditors Respond to FCPA Risk?
Authors: Lawson Bradley P. , Martin Gerald , Muriel Leah , Wilkins Michael S.
Published: July 2019

This article summarizes “How Do Auditors Respond to FCPA Risk?” (Lawson, Martin, Muriel, and Wilkins 2019), which investigates the pricing of audits for clients that violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). FCPA compliance has become a top priority for regulators who rely heavily on accountants as they combat illegal activity. We find that auditors charge higher fees for violators both before and during formal FCPA investigations. We also find that fees are more sensitive to accounts that are more susceptible to FCPA risk. Our findings are stronger (weaker) for clients with high (low) foreign sales. While this may seem intuitive from an audit materiality perspective, regulators are not required to prove materiality as they pursue FCPA violations (Ebright 2016). Our study should be of interest to practitioners and auditors, as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) is considering whether updates should be made to PCAOB AS 2405
The COSO Framework in Emerging Technology Environments: An Effective In-Class Exercise on Internal Control
Authors: Chiu Tiffany , Wang Tawei (David)
Published: July 2019

We present an in-class scenario-based exercise by which accounting information systems students learn about the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 Framework. Students are randomly assigned to groups of three to five, and each group receives a list of 17 principles and 17 scenarios. These scenarios are based on emerging technology environments and are designed to illustrate the key ideas in each of the five components. Each group categorizes the principles and scenarios into the five components. For each scenario, students are expected to (1) review the key framework components and principles, (2) understand how each component relates to real-world implementation scenarios, and (3) identify potential internal control weaknesses and risk mitigation. Discussions are video-recorded to evaluate the in-class exercise and fine-tune subsequent exercises. Ultimately, this exercise can help students understand the COSO 2013 Framework in emerging technology environments.
Effect of laser heat treatment on bending property of laser welded joints of low-alloy ultra-high strength steel
Authors: Luo Chong , Zhao Yue , Cao Yang , Zhao Lin , Shan Jiguo
Published: July 2019

This paper investigates the effect of laser heat treatment on the bending property of low-alloy ultrahigh strength steel laser-welded joints. A laser rectangular spot is used for local heat treatment. The results indicate that the back bending angle of joints can be improved from 30° to over 90° with a joint efficiency of 76%. With the increase of laser power and scanning times and the decrease of scanning speed, the heat treatment temperature at the back of the joint increases gradually. The peak temperature under different parameters changes from 450 to 700 °C, at which tempering takes place. This is consistent with the microstructural evolution from original lath martensite of weld metal and heat-affected zone to tempered martensite after laser heat treatment. The hardness between weld and softened zone is similar under the same parameters. Analysis of variance reveals that the hardness is mainly influenced by the peak temperature instead of heating time. The weld hardness decreases gradually with the increase of the peak temperature, and hardness less than 35.0 HRC is obtained when that temperature is over 600 °C. The weld hardness is closely related with the bending property of joints. When the hardness is less than 35.0 HRC, a bending angle over 90° can be achieved. This is because laser tempering makes the hardness of joints uniform, consequently improving the bending performance of the joints.

Hensikten med denne artikkelen er å gi en teoretisk utforsking av refleksjon som begrep og hvilken rolle ulike refleksjonstyper kan ha i studentenes læringsprosess når læringsaktivitetene er handlingsbaserte. Artikkelen klargjør hva som må kjennetegne den handlingsbaserte læringen, slik at erfaring peker ut over læring i øyeblikket. Det understrekes at studentene må presenteres for tydelige kompetansekrav som refleksjonen kan knyttes til. Videre vises det til at utvikling av helhetlig kunnskap innebærer at læringsaktivitetene, i tillegg til å stimulere til refleksjon over kunnskap, bør rette seg mot motivasjon og holdninger. Det foranstående belyses gjennom konkrete eksempler fra undervisning i entreprenørskap.

In order to demonstrate the transmission of resistance genes between clinical bacteria and community bacteria, 78 strains of Staphylococcus including 56 (71.79%) community strains and 22 (28.21%) clinical strains were isolated and identified according to classical methods of microbiology. The resistance pattern was determined by the standard Mueller Hinton diffusion method. The phenotype of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci was investigated from the oxacillin disc and cefoxitin. PCRs were performed on 45 DNA strains of Staphylococcus including 25 (55.56%) of community strains and 20 (44.44%) of clinical strains resistant to oxacillin and cefoxitin alone or associated. Phenotypic results indicate that norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, tobramycin, kanamycine were more active on community Staphylococci. In clinical Staphylococcus, only tobramycin was more active. The differences were significant between the resistance frequencies of community and clinical Staphylococci for some antibiotics with a P value ˂0.05. The mec A gene was identified in 9 community S.aureus strains, 6 clinical strains of Staphylococcus. The fragments of the amplified gene were of the same molecular weight (500bp), which suggests a spread of clinical strains in the city.

Theft involving violence is a street crime and had threatened public safety and security. The society no longer can live in decent way. Aside from the layer of indicators that challenge the law enforcement to differ whether the case was theft involving violence or just theft and violence in separate ways, in Indonesia, the number of this type of crime escalated from 2014 to2015 and to 2016. Though law enforcement did their duty to resolve this matter, the number of crime yet decrease. This paper presents a preliminary research on how to build effective crime deterrence of theft involving violence.

The existence of various regulations made resulted in many types of special receivables. This then becomes uncertain if there is a conflict between the special receivables. Because there is no specific provision that can be used as a solution. There is no norm that can be used as a legal basis. In Article 95 paragraph (4) of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning employment, special privileges are raised for which repayment must take precedence, namely the wages of workers / laborers.

Investors having an understanding of investment statistics are important. Especially quantitative tools related to investment risk measurement. Value-at-Risk Adjusted is one of the investment risk measurement tools, which assumes that returns are not normally distributed.This paper intends to measure investment risk based onValue-at-Risk Adjustedor called Modified Value-at-Risk under the Capital Asset Pricing Model. It is assumed that the return of the market index has a non-constant average and there is a long memory effect. The average of the return of the market index is estimated using ARFIMA models.It is also assumed that the stock risk premium correlates with market risk premiums, and stock risk premiums some time before. The correlation will be analyzed using the ARMAX-GARCH model approach. The Modified Value-at-Risk was then formulated based on the Capital asset Pricing Model with the ARMAX-GARCH model approach.To measure the performance of Modified Value-at-Risk that has been formulated is done with back testing. Back testing is carried out based on the Lopez II method. As a case study, analyzed some data on 10 stocks traded on the capital market in Indonesia.The results of the analysis show that the market index return risk premium significantly follows the ARFIMA model, and the 10 share risk premium significantly follows the ARMAX-GARCH model. Based on the results of back testing calculations indicate that the Value-at-Risk Adjustedor Modified Value-at-Risk is very suitable to be used to measure investment risk in the 10 stocks analyzed.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menemukan setting lingkungan yang berpotensi meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologisindividu setelah mengalami kondisi yang penuh tekanan melalui pengukuran efek restoratif yang dirasakan oleh responden. Denganpendekatan eksperimental, penelitian ini bertujuan melihat perbandingan efek restoratif berdasarkan perbedaan paparan visual jenislingkungan, yaitu lingkungan natural (natural environment) dan lingkungan terbangun (built environment). Lingkungan natural(natural environment) adalah lingkungan yang terbentuk secara alamiah tanpa campur tangan manusia sedangkan lingkunganterbangun (built environment) adalah segala sesuatu yang dibuat, disusun dan dipelihara oleh manusia untuk memenuhi keperluanmanusia yang menengahi lingkungan secara keseluruhan dengan hasil yang memengaruhi konteks lingkungan. Berdasarkan hasilpenelitian, diketahui bahwa terdapat perbedaan atensi dan emosi yang signifikan berdasarkan jenis stimulus yang diterima responden.Artinya, jenis stimulus lingkungan yang berbeda dapat menghasilkan respon stres yang berbeda pada individu. Dengan kata lain,stimulus lingkungan yang berbeda juga berpotensi memberikan efek restoratif yang berbeda pada individu. Secara khusus, perbedaantersebut terlihat signifikan pada aspek emosi dan atensi, namun tidak menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan pada aspek fisiologis yangdiukur melalui tekanan darah. Pada aspek emosi, subjek yang mendapatkan stimulus nature menunjukkan respon emosi yang lebihpositif dibandingkan subjek dengan stimulus built. Sebaliknya, pada aspek atensi, subjek yang menerima stimulus built menunjukkanpeningkatan kapasitas atensi yang lebih baik dibandingkan subjek pada kelompok nature.

Oleh karena itu, diperlukan intervensiyang dapat mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, yaitu penyusunan performance management system berbasis balanced scorecard, karena dapat mendukung peningkatan kinerja perusahaan melalui pengelolaan sumber daya manusia dengan mempertimbangkan kondisi internal daneksternal perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan intervensi berupa rancangan performance management system (tahap prerequisites) berbasis balanced scorecard yang dapat dijadikan acuan dasar bagi perusahaan dalam mencapai kinerja yang optimal. Metodepenelitian ini adalah research & development, dengan melibatkan seluruh job title sebagai partisipan. Hasil rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan berupa rancangan performance management system pada tahap prerequisites (rumusan harapan pimpinan dan skema arahanstrategi, balanced scorecard (objective)). Hasil evaluasi terhadap rancangan intervensi menyimpulkan bahwa rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan ini dapat diterima oleh user dan diberi penilaian yang tinggi oleh expert rater, meskipun terdapat beberapa catatan yang diberikan oleh user dan expert rater. Saran yang dapat diberikan berdasarkan penelitian ini, yaitu penelitian selanjutnya perlu tetap mengacu pada konsep performance management system tahap prerequisites yang telah dirumuskan, agar pengembangan tetap terintegrasi dengan arah, tujuan, dan strategi perusahaan, serta PT. X juga perlu melakukan pilot test untuk menguji keefektifan rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan.

Peningkatan angka gangguan kejiwaan di Indonesia menimbulkan kebutuhan akan penanganan yang lebih optimal. Adanya instrumen kepribadian dengan kerangka teoritik yang kuat diharapkan dapat membantu proses penanganan agar lebih efektif. Instrumen kepribadian yang dikembangkan dalam penelitian ini didasarkan pada model teoritik dari Theodore Millon yaitu evolutionary model. Terdapat 14 tipe kepribadian yaitu Schizoid, Avoidant, Dependent, Histrionik, Kompulsif, Negativistik, Narsistik, Antisosial, Masokistik, Sadis, Schizotypal, Paranoid, Borderline, dan Melankolik. Tahap pengembangan item dilakukan melalui sebelas uji coba yang melibatkan 1372 partisipan. Form terakhir berisi 254 item yang terdiri dari 249 item kepribadian dan 5 item kontrol. Pilihan respon jawaban adalah YA dan TIDAK. Hasilnya masing-masing kepribadian memiliki reliabilitas alpha yang handal (> 0.7). Reliabilitas tes-retes menunjukan korelasi yang tinggi dengan tes pertama yaitu berkisar antara .744 - .891. Pembuktian validitas dengan validitas isi dari dua orang ahli memperlihatkan kesesuaian dengan definisi masing-masing domain diatas 80%. Validitas struktur internal menunjukan bahwa model yang digunakan dalam pengukuran sesuai dengan model teoritik.
EFEKTIFITAS DIFFERENTIATED REINFORCEMENT OF INCOMPATIBLE BEHAVIOR (DRI) DALAM MENURUNKAN PERILAKU AGRESI VERBAL PADA REMAJA DENGAN MODERATE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
Authors: Lalitya Lecya , Tedjasaputra Mayke S.

Intellectutal disability (ID) adalah gangguan neurodevelopmental yang ditandai dengan keterbatasan dalam fungsi kecerdasan dan fungsi adaptif (konseptual, sosial, dan praktikal). Salah satu dampak dari keterbatasan kedua fungsi tersebut adalah masalah regulasi emosi, khususnya pada usia remaja. Dampaknya, anak lebih rentan pada masalah perilaku, seperti perilaku agresi verbal. Intervensi yang umum dilakukan untuk mengatasi masalah ini adalah intervensi ABA, salah satunya dengan metode differentiated reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas differentiated reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) untuk menurunkan perilaku agresi verbal pada remaja dengan moderate intellectual disability. Penelitian dilakukan dengan desain single case A-B. Penelitian juga melibatkan teknik operant extinction dan reinforcement dalam intervensi. Hasil penelitian menujukkan adanya penurunan perilaku agresi verbal pada remaja dengan moderate intellectual disability setelah menjalani intervensi perilaku dengan metode DRI. Partisipan juga lebih mampu meregulasi emosinya.
