MENAKAR HERMENEUTIKA DALAM KAJIAN SASTRA
Authors: NURSIDA IDA
Published: February 2019

Kajian sastra ditandai oleh suatu aktivitas penting yang inheren di dalam dirinya, yakni interpretasi (penafsiran). Kegiatan apresiasi sastra dan kritik sastra, pada tepi dan muaranya, bertautan dengan karya sastra yang harus diinterpreatasi. Setiap aktivitas interpretasi karya sastra selalu melibatkan suatu proses hermeneutis. Oleh karena itu, hermeneutika menempati posisi krusial dan tidak mungkin diabaikan dalam analisis karya sastra. Atas dasar itulah hermeneutika perlu diperbincangkan secara komprehensif guna memperoleh pemahaman yang memadai. Hermeneutika yang berkembang dalam interpretasi sastra sangat berkait dengan perkembangan pemikiran hermeneutika, terutama dalam sejarah filsafat dan teologi karena pemikiran hermeneutika mula-mula muncul dalam dua bidang tersebut. Untuk memahami hermeneutika dalam interpretasi sastra diperlukan pemahaman komprehensif mengenai sejarah dan konsepsi hermeneutika, terutama terkait dengan tiga varian hermeneutika yang berkembang dalam tradisi hermeneutika modern, yakni hermeneutika metodologis/teoritis, filosofis, dan kritis. Dengan pemahaman tiga varian hermeneutika tersebut, niscaya akan lebih memungkinkan adanya pemahaman yang memadai tentang hermeneutika dalam kajian sastra.

Studies on dependence between stock markets are important because of their implications on the process of decision-making in investment. Many previous studies measure the dependence between markets using static copula. However, in recent years, time-varying copula has been used as an alternative for measuring dependence due to its capability of capturing time-varying dependence between markets. This study uses both static and time-varying copulas to measure the dependence structure between Malaysia and major stock markets (US, UK and Japan) based on the sample data from year 2007 Q1 until year 2017 Q3. The results reveal that the best model for all pairs of indices is the time-varying SJC copula, which also reveals that the Malaysia-US pair has the weakest dependence structure compared to other pairs. In terms of lower and upper tails, the Malaysia-UK and the Malaysia-Japan pairs have the strongest dependence structure respectively. Evidence from this research suggests that diversifications involving Malaysia and US stock markets are not effective.

Published: February 2019

In today’s competitive business world, marketing is critically important to universities in positioning a product to attract the interest of its clients, which are the prospective students. As for public universities such as University Teknologi Mara (UiTM), the key to survive the increasing competition and financial difficulties is through their alumni loyalty. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affects the Alumni Loyalty towards UiTM. This study tests a model derived from a relationship marketing perspective to investigate the effects of components of University Brand Image which are Academic System, Reputation, Employability, Shared Values and Social Network on the Alumni Loyalty towards UiTM. Based on the literature review, a theoretical model is proposed and tested through Partial Least Square - Structural Equations Modelling (PLS-SEM) using a sample of 815 UiTM alumni. The results reveal that the significant factors that affect Alumni Loyalty are Reputation, Employability and Shared Values. In addition, the results highlight that Academic System do not affect Alumni Loyalty directly but rather indirectly through the mediation of Satisfaction. Overall, Academic System, Reputation, Employability and Shared Values are important in explaining the variance of Alumni Loyalty. University should be careful about the quality of the course offered and methods of delivery by the academicians since the implication of an Academic System is significant toward the loyalty of alumni.

Prioritizing and making decisions on what student activities to be selected and conducted to fulfill the aspiration of a university requires some understanding on the mission of the university as translated in its strategic plan and the basic theory on student development. For government funded universities in Malaysia, the recent budget cut imposed by the Malaysian government has made the task more difficult. In this paper, we illustrated how 0-1 integer programming (0-1 IP) model was implemented to select which activities among the forty activities proposed by the student body of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) to be implemented for the 2017/2018 academic year. Two different models were constructed. The 0-1 IP model was developed to determine which activities to be selected based on RM50,000 total budget allocated by the UUM management towards fulfilling the SETARA-rating requirements as well as the Chickering’s student development theory. The selection of activities was also based on maximizing the preference of the members of the student body whereby the preference value for each activity was determined using Compromised-Analytic Hierarchy Process. The optimal result obtained using LINGO version 11 revealed that the budget allocated was more than enough to fulfill all the needed requirements. The technique used in this study will be useful and suitable to be implemented by organizations with key performance indicator-oriented programs and having limited budget allocation issues.
Students’ Career Decision Support System
Authors: M. Nazri Engku , Mauziah Benjamin Aida , Abdul Rahman Syariza
Published: February 2019

Many studies reveal that upon graduation, most university undergraduates are still unclear about their future. Questions like whether they would be able to find a suitable job, which job sector should they be in, and what factors to consider in determining their job selection, often arise. In this paper we present a career decision support system to help these students plan for their career. The system will propose the most suitable job sector that a student should be in, based on the weights given for each determining factor selected and the evaluation of job sectors with respect to each factor done by the student himself. The evaluations are then combined and calculated using a simple scoring model approach. The system which was developed using Visual Basic 6 can be used by any student with minimal supervision, or by the academic career counselors as one of the tools to help students.
Efficiency of Heuristic Algorithms in Solving Waste Collection Vehicle Routing Problem: A Case Study
Authors: Azriati Mat Nur , Benjamin Aida Mauziah , Abdul-Rahman Syariza
Published: February 2019

This paper investigated the efficiency of six heuristic algorithms from prior studies in the attempt to solve issues related to waste collection, namely: (i) Nearest Greedy (NG), (ii) Further from Depot (FFD), (iii) Different Initial Customer (DIC), (iv) Savings Approach, (v) Sweep Algorithm, and (vi) Different Initial Customer based on Sweep Algorithm. In fact, these heuristics have been employed to solve several routing problems in past studies, but the performance of each heuristic has never been compared. Hence, this paper looked into the efficiency of these heuristics by testing them on a real case study of waste collection problem in a district located at the north of Peninsular Malaysia. Several solutions obtained from these heuristics were compared with solutions implemented by the waste collection company, especially in terms of the total distance travelled. As a result, the computational results exhibited that DIC generated the best solutions, when compared to other heuristics, with a 12% reduction of the total travel distance.

Authors: Zulhumadi Faisal , Abdullah Che Sobry
Published: February 2019

The nanotechnology industry continues to grow in size and importance around the world, with many countries of both developing and developed status taking action by launching their own National Nanotechnology Initiatives. With the increasing cost of maintaining the research and development (R&D), as well as commercialisation of such a promising field in a growing country like Malaysia, industry players, such as research centres and private companies, need to find ways to improve their profit margin as well as provide quality products for their customers. One cost saving aspect is in the management of the technology, i.e., technology management practices. Even though it has been discovered through literature that technology management is a system that improves competitiveness and performance of organisations, there are still problems related to it, such as the traditional issues associated with cost, delivery, and quality, as well as surrounding influences from the environment regarding the infrastructure, specifically the R&D and industrial infrastructure, human resource, and industry readiness. This paper presents the review of literature regarding technology management and infrastructure in managing the organisational performance of companies in the nanotechnology industry, specifically in Malaysia. Through this review, the issues and challenges have been revealed and a potential research model has been formulated in order to assist in overcoming the highlighted problems.

At the end of the study, researchers were keen to know whether or not there were evidence of creative and innovative features in the students’ works, including skills such as applying, analysing, evaluating and creativity in line with Higher Order Thinking skills (HOTs) in Bloom’s taxonomy to support inquiry, exploration, create and reflection within Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. The researchers conducted a quasi-experimental study that consisted of pre-test and post-test to identify the effectiveness of GeoGebra’s dynamic software in mathematical learning before and after treatment. A total of 102 students participated in the study. Both quantitative data and qualitative data were collected. The quantitative data was analyzed using MANOVA test. The validity and reliability of GeoGebra’s dynamic software manuals and the research instruments were validated by a panel of appointed mathematicians. Meanwhile, the qualitative data was collected through teacher questionnaire, teacher and student interviews, video recording, observation and field notes. The checklist of experimental group’s works using GeoGebra’s dynamic software demonstrates that the features of HOTs cognitive skills, namely apply, analyze, evaluate, and create had occurred at high frequencies and percentages. This indicates that Shape and Space geometry learning using GeoGebra’s dynamic software enables students to create critical, creative and innovative solutions to mathematical tasks that enhances problem solving skills characterized by inquiry, exploration, creation and reflection that support STEM education.
The Impact of Price Subsidy on Rice Self-Sufficiency Level in Malaysia: A System Dynamics Approach
Authors: Abdul Rahim Farah Hanim , Nazihahhawari Nurul , Zainal Abidin Norhaslinda
Published: February 2019

The Malaysian government had targeted for the rice industry in the country to achieve 100% rice self-sufficiency where Malaysia’s rice self-sufficiency level (SSL) is currently at 65% to 75%. Thus, the government had implemented few policies to increase the rice production in Malaysia to meet the growing demand of rice. This paper focus on analyzing the impact of price subsidy on the rice production system in Malaysia using a system dynamics modelling approach. Scenario analysis was conducted using the developed system dynamics model by making changes on the price subsidy and observe the impact of the changes on the rice production and rice SSL. The developed system dynamics model offers better understanding of the effect of price subsidy on the rice self-sufficiency level. Based on the scenario analysis, the result shows that a 50% increase in the price subsidy leads to a substantial increase in demand as the rice price drops. Accordingly, the local production increases by 15%. However, the SSL slightly decreases as the local production is insufficient to meet the large demand.

Authors: Brzeska-Zastawna Agnieszka
Published: February 2019

Excavations at the Książnice Wielkie 1 site were carried out in the 1920s by Józef Żurowski. The site is known to Neolithic researchers primarily as a settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture (Burchard, Eker 1964) and as a cemetery of the Corded Ware culture (Machnik 1964). Furthermore, ceramic materials found there became the basis for distinguishing the Wyciąże-Książnice group of the Proto-Baden horizon (Kozłowski 1971; 1989), which refers to the oldest influences from the Baden complex on the local group of the Polgár circle, and the Książnice Wielkie type (Machnik 1966) – the oldest horizon of Corded Ware funerary finds in western Lesser Poland. This article presents the results of analyses of selected flint artefacts – originating from the reutilization of axes – discovered in the context of pottery of the Funnel Beaker culture and the Funnel Beaker-Baden assemblages.

Transformasi beberapa kegiatan pemerintah, itulah cikal bakal lahirnya konsep Badan Layanan Umum (BLU). BLU adalah instansi di lingkungan Pemerintah yang dibentuk untuk memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat berupa penyediaan barang dan/atau jasa yang dijual tanpa mengutamakan mencari keuntungan. Dalam melakukan kegiatannya didasarkan pada prinsip efisiensi dan produktivitas. BLU ada di tingkat Pusat, ada pula di tingkat daerah. Adapun instrumen hukum yang mengatur soal BLU, ada berupa Undang-Undang, Peraturan Pemerintah, dan Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri. Tulisan ini, di samping mengulas soal aspek hukum BLU, juga diberikan contoh kasus BLU, yaitu penerapan BLU pada rumah sakit milik pemerintah. Selanjutnya, analisis lebih menukik lagi pada pemecahan masalah, yakni perlu-tidaknya BLU dibuatkan lagi dalam bentuk Peraturan Daerah.
Hakekat Hukum Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi terhadap Sengketa Pemilihan Kepala Daerah (Pilkada)

Proses peradilan yang dijalankan oleh MK menganut asas-asas yaitu (1) ius curia novit; (2) Persidangan terbuka untuk umum; (3) Independen dan imparsial; (4) Peradilan dilaksanakan secara cepat, sederhana, dan biaya ringan; (5) Hak untuk didengar secara seimbang (audi et alteram partem); dan (6) Hakim aktif dan juga pasif dalam persidangan. Selain itu perlu ditambahkan lagi satu asas yaitu asas (7) Praduga Keabsahan (praesumptio iustae causa). Penerapan asas-asas ini yaitu pada seluruh proses penyelesaian sengketa oleh MK. Pengambilan putusan penyelesaian Perselisihan Sengketa Pilkada di Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) didasarkan pada keyakinan hakim konstitusi setelah menilai bukti yang diajukan oleh para pihak. Sementara itu, undang-undang telah membatasi kewenangan MK dalam Pemilukada yaitu hanya untuk memutus hasil penghitungan suara Pilkada. Oleh karena itu, MK melalui penafsiran telah menciptakan norma baru dalam putusan-putusan perkara Pemilukada. Dalam beberapa putusannya, MK telah memperluas ruang lingkup kewenangan untuk menyelesaikan sengketa Pilkada sampai pada proses Pilkada. Pada dasarnya, putusan MK terhadap sengketa Pilkada menganut prinsip hukum yang bersifat Final dan Mengikat (binding). Prinsip hukum tersebut mengandung 2 (dua) makna yaitu Pertama, putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang bersifat final dan mengikat (binding) mengandung beberapa makna hukum, yaitu: a.) Untuk mewujudkan kepastian hukum sesegera mungkin bagi para pihak yang bersengketa. b.) Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai pengadilan konstitusional, berbeda halnya dengan pengadilan konvensional yang menerapkan ruang untuk menempuh upaya hukum. c.) bermakna sebagai perekayasa hukum. Dalam artian, Mahkamah Konstitusi melalui putusan-putusannya, diharapkan mampu merekayasa hukum sesuai yang telah digariskan oleh UUD 1945 sebagai konstitusi (gronwet). d.) Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai penjaga dan penafsir tunggal konstitusi. Dengan demikian, kehadiran Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia diharapkan mampu menjaga stabilitas segenap elemen negara untuk tetap sejalan dengan amanat konstitusi. Kedua, putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang bersifat final dan mengikat (binding), melahirkan sejumlah akibat hukum dalam penerapannya. Dalam hal ini, penulis kemudian menggolongkannya ke dalam 2 (dua) garis besar, yakni putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang menimbulkan akibat hukum yang bermakna positif dan akibat hukum yang bermakna negatif. Adapun akibat hukum yang bermakna positif, yaitu: Mengakhiri suatu sengketa hukum; Menjaga prinsip checks and balances; dan Mendorong terjadinya proses politik. Sedangkan akibat hukum yang ditimbulkan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang bersifat final dan mengikat (binding) dalam makna negatif, yaitu: Tertutupnya akses upaya hukum dan terjadinya kekosongan hukum.

Pada dasarnya hubungan dokter-pasien adalah hubungan kontraktual sebagai upaya untuk mencari solusi terbaik bagi kesembuhan pasien yang dikenal dengan “ Transaksi Terapeutik”. Agar hubungan antara dokter dan pasien berjalan dengan baik, maka para pihak dibebani dengan hak dan kewajiban yang harus dilaksanakan. Namun demikian, tidak jarang atau sering terjadi adanya kerugian yang diderita oleh pasien akibat diabaikannya aturan-aturan yang telah ditetapkan di bidang medis, salah satunya adalah tidak dipenuhinya standar pelayanan medis. Dari latar belakang tersebut tulisan ini akan menganalisis dasar pertimbangan ditetapkannya standar pelayanan medis nasional dan apakah dibentuknya standar pelayanan medis nasional dapat mencegah terjadinya kelalaian medis yang merugikan pasien. Dasar pertimbangan ditetapkannya standar pelayanan medis nasional adalah untuk memenuhi hak atas kesehatan masyarakat dan meningkatkan derajat kesehatan yang setinggi-tingginya bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Hak atas kesehatan ini telah dijamin oleh UUD RI 1945, UU No. 29 Tahun 2004 tentang Profesi Kedokteran, UU No. 36 Tahun 2009 tentang Kesehatan dan peraturan lain yang terkait, termasuk telah diakomodir oleh berbagai konvensi Internasional. Seorang dokter yang bertugas memberikan pelayanan kesehatan, sekalipun di satu pihak mempunyai otonomi profesi, namun di lain pihak kemandirian tersebut perlu dibatasi dengan berbagai aturan mulai dari aturan intern berupa kode etik profesi, standar profesi dan standar pelayanan medis maupun aturan-aturan hukum. Standar pelayanan medis ini merupakan hukum yang mengikat para pihak yang berprofesi di bidang kesehatan, yaitu untuk mengatur pelayanan kesehatan dan mencegah terjadinya kelalaian staf medis dalam melakukan tindakan medis.

Tujuan makalah ini adalah untuk menganalisis konsep hubungan kerja dalam perspektif HAM, ekonomi, dan pembangunan. Para pihak dalam hubungan industrial yang terdiri dari pekerja, pengusaha, dan pemerintah memiliki kepentingan yang berbeda. Timbulnya perselisihan hubungan industrial pada dasarnya disebabkan karena para pihak yang bersengketa melihat suatu permasalahan hanya dari sudut pandangnya sendiri. Pemahaman yang utuh tentang hubungan kerja menjadi dasar dari suatu penyelesaian perselisihan hubungan industrial yang komprehensif.
Pemahaman Terhadap Pemberlakuan Hukum Islam di Indonesia

Hukum Islam di Indonesia telah menjadi jati diri rakyat di Indonesia, hukum Islam telah tumbuh dan berkembang sebelum Negara tersebut berdiri dan telah mengakar dalam segala aspek kehidupan masyarakatnya. Sekalipun Indonesia bukan Negara Islam hal tersebut bukanlah menjadi penghalang pemberlakuan hukum Islam di Indonesia. Hal ini dikarenakan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam hukum Islam tersebut merupakan nadi dalam setiap aspek kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Selain itu, nilai tersebut tidak jarang nilai-nilai tersebut diinterpretasikan ke dalam norma oleh para ahli hukum kontemporer. Hukum Islam di Indonesia menggunakan suatu parameter kemaslahatan mengenai perlu atau tidaknya suatu hukum dalam suatu persoalan tertentu. Sebagai tambahan, peran utamanya adalah untuk memastikan bahwa setiap hukum Islam yang dinormakan tersebut tidak bertentangan dengan nash yaitu Al-Quran dan Sunnah.  Dengan mengaplikasikan hukum Islam ke dalam setiap upaya pembuatan atau pun penafsiran suatu hukum, maka dapat dipastikan hukum tersebut telah memenuhi standar untuk di aplikasikan ke dalam masyarakat Indonesia. Dengan demikian hal ini tidak dikhawatirkan hukum tersebut akan menimbulkan persoalan baru atau menimbulkan konflik norma dalam pengaplikasiannya.
Penataan Kewenangan Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) dalam Sistem dalam Ketatanegaraan di Indonesia

Dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 2014 tentang perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2014 tentang Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat , Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah terdapat ketimpangan kewenangan antara DPD dan DPR. Pada Undang-Undang tersebut, DPR diberikan kewenangan untuk dapat memutuskan perundang-undangan melalui persetujuan bersama dengan presiden. Sedangkan pada Dewan Perwakilan Daerah tidak terdapat pasal pada UUD 1945 mengenai kewenangan DPD RI untuk dapat memutuskan perundang-undangan seperti halnya DPR RI melainkan hanya fungsi legislasi DPD yang sekedar memberi pertimbangan saja. Kedudukan DPD sebagai lembaga legislatif dalam rangka pembentukan Undang-Undang menurut Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 adalah terbatas baik dilihat dari bentuk kelembagaan maupun dilihat dari lingkup kewenangannya. Oleh karena itu adanya pembatasan terhadap bentuk kewenangan dibidang legislasi tersebut, yaitu hanya terhadap mengajukan rancangan undang-undang, ikut membahas, dan memberikan pertimbangan, adalah jelas merupakan penyimpangan dari status dan kondisi yang dikehendaki dari pembentukan Dewan Perwakilan Daerah yang merupakan lembaga perwakilan. Model ideal penataan kewenangan DPD dalam proses pembentukan Undang-Undang ke depan meliputi: penerapan Sistem Bikameral Efektif, Penguatan Kewenangan DPD RI melalui Interpretasi Yudisial, dan Reformasi Kewenangan Legislasi DPD.
