Pengaruh Faktor-Faktor Kualitas, Nilai, dan Preferensi Merek terhadap Loyalitas Konsumen pada Produk Bromen
Authors: Sudi Didih Muhamad , Purwadi Anto , Firmansyah Alfian
Published: May 2024

This research investigates the influence of perceived quality, perceived value, brand preference, and consumer satisfaction on consumer loyalty for Bromen products. The research method involves multiple regression analysis using multiple linear regression measuring instruments. The results of the validity and reliability tests show that all research variables are reliable and valid. Regression analysis reveals that perceived value and brand preference significantly influence consumer loyalty, with contributions of 18.8% and 25.3%. Even though perceived quality and consumer satisfaction make a positive contribution, both are not statistically significant. The coefficient of determination of 18.8% shows that variations in consumer loyalty can be explained by these four factors. The implications of this research underline the importance of companies increasing brand preference through intensive marketing strategies and adding added value to products to strengthen perceived value, while still paying attention to perceived quality and consumer satisfaction to strengthen consumer loyalty.

Authors: Asril Akmil
Published: May 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of motivation, work discipline and compensation on the performance of PT PLN employees in Bali Province. By focusing on the dynamics of the number of electricity customers, company organizational structure, and human resource performance, this research integrates these variables in a comprehensive thinking framework. The data analysis method uses multiple linear regression and hypothesis testing, with performance measurement involving aspects of quality, quantity, cooperation, initiative and reliability. The research results show that simultaneously motivation, work discipline, and compensation have a significant influence on employee performance. Partially, motivation and work discipline have a positive and significant influence on performance, while compensation is not significant. The coefficient of determination (R2) indicates that these factors can explain variations in employee performance of 68.1%. A partial analysis of compensation implies that the system may be based on employee skills and performance outcomes, while the assumption of employee well-being suggests that the level of compensation may not significantly influence performance. The research results show that there are factors that influence the performance of human resources in the electricity industry. The implications include improving human resource management policies, creating a more productive work environment, and improving the quality of employee performance to achieve company goals. These findings can be the basis for developing more effective management strategies at PT PLN in Bali Province.

Authors: Chandel Ekta
Published: May 2024

India has a very rich cultural history. The Ashwamedh Yagya, an important ritual and experiment from Vedic times, aimed to refine consciousness. Since the Vedic era, many Ashwamedha Yagyas have been performed. In light of scriptural texts and archaeological findings, the present study aimed to retrospectively analyze the performers and sites of the Ashwamedha Yagya in medieval India. The study found that 27 kings from 18 dynasties had performed a total of 81 documented Ashwamedha Yagyas from the 1st century BCE to the 18th century CE. Although the study tried to comprehensively identify all instances of Ashwamedha performed in medieval India, there may be more awaiting further study. The study observed that these findings were based on archaeological evidence, including copper plate inscriptions, stone inscriptions, brick and pillar inscriptions, yagya kunds, and coins. Ashwamedha sites were present throughout present-day India. An interdisciplinary approach combining archaeological, inscriptional, scriptural, and sociological findings, along with expertise from ritualistic scholars, could unveil new research directions on the rich history of Ashwamedha Yagya in Indian culture.

Authors: Istyadji Maya , Sriwati Sriwati
Published: May 2024

In the context of higher education, the development of academic literacy is crucial in enhancing students' ability to use academic language for critical thinking and information analysis. This ability serves as the foundation for effective academic writing skills. This study highlights the challenges faced by students in the Faculty of Education at Lambung Mangkurat University regarding academic literacy, including difficulties in explaining the background of the problem, formulating research objectives clearly, and developing coherent arguments. Furthermore, the importance of academic literacy practices in a social context is emphasized, where students need to identify valued communication practices within specific disciplines. The research findings indicate that learning activities are still focused on learning objectives that overlook academic literacy practices. Therefore, it is essential for educators to provide constructive feedback to students to help them develop an academic identity that aligns with teachers' expectations.
The Research of Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case in the View of Narratology
Authors: Zhang Li , Peng Xinkai
Published: May 2024

The narrative artistry on display in Agatha Christie’s Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case is both significant and outstanding. Central to this seminal work's success are its deft employment of a limited third-person narrative perspective, a narrative structure that seamlessly interleaves dialogue with clue collection, as well as several highly effective narrative techniques such as foreshadowing and misguiding. By utilizing a limited third-person perspective, Christie is able to adeptly provide the reader with enough information to remain engaged and invested, while simultaneously keeping a distance that allows for unexpected plot twists and revelations. In addition, the book’s unique narrative structure serves to further highlight the cleverness of Christie’s approach, with the novel flowing effortlessly from one clue-gathering scene to another, interspersed with revealing conversations between the characters and the ever-present Poirot. Finally, the use of narrative techniques such as foreshadowing and misguiding showcase Christie’s unparalleled skill as a writer of mystery and suspense. Through her employment of these techniques, Christie is able to further engage the reader, keeping them guessing and questioning their assumptions until the final revelation.

Published: May 2024

This research analyzes the characteristics of Emirati Generation Z, millennials, and baby boomers, and the influence of social media to explain linguistic changes in the UAE. To do so, we administered a questionnaire containing 100 English words commonly used in Emirati Arabic; We have classified the types of English words and expressions used by the three generation cohorts. Participants also responded to a qualitative questionnaire, concerning the role that English played during the pandemic, Emiratis’ behavior towards social media, and their viewpoint regarding the influence of English in Emirati Arabic. Results showed that Generation Z uses more English words and expressions than the other two generations. Generation Z attended bilingual education in English and Arabic since primary school whereas most millennials and all baby boomers attended school exclusively in Arabic. We have examined that social media contributed to more English words in Emirati Arabic and determined the reasons why Generation G prefers to use English on social media and in their daily lives. We could conclude that Generation Z and most millennials see English positively and as inevitable progress in a globalized world while baby boomers see it as a threat to their language and culture. Generation Z also outperformed the other two generations regarding the pronunciation of words in English when speaking Emirati Arabic.

The post-test knowledge scores showed that out % of 60 nurses, 75% possessed very good knowledge, while 25% had good knowledge. The comparison of both tests' knowledge scores using the Wilcoxon rank test resulted in a p-value = <0.001, which indicates that the result is highly significant. Furthermore, the chi-square test was applied to find out whether or not there was a statistical association between the knowledge scores and their demographic variables. It was determined that the p-value for both the knowledge scores was found to be greater than 0.05 which is insignificant. Hence, there is no association found between both sets of knowledge scores with their demographic variables. Conclusion: The structured teaching programme culminated in enhancing knowledge among nurses regarding preventing neonatal hypothermia.

Using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) in criminal investigations is the main goal of the proposed study. Using cutting-edge CNN architectures trained on a variety of datasets to precisely identify emotions including joy, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, and sadness is one of the main components. The research seeks to improve the effectiveness of investigations by giving law enforcement a tool to interpret the subtle emotional cues in the facial expressions of potential suspects in crimes. The technique has potential uses in human-computer interface, security, and surveillance in addition to criminal investigations. The larger significance is in helping to create more precise and effective investigative procedures, which will ultimately promote a society that is safer and more secure. The study focuses on providing a brief overview, with a suggested method utilizing CNNs to trace crime suspects.

In school-age children, the body will later need energy and macronutrients for growth, physical activity and other skills. The purpose of this study was to describe the energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate intakes in children with wasting syndrome at SDN 2 Tlanak Kedungpring, Lamongan Regency. The research design used is descriptive observational. The sample consisted of 30 respondents. The technique used was 2 x 24-hour food recall interviews. The research time starts from October 2022-March 2023. The analysis technique used is univariate or descriptive. The results of this study showed that 20 respondents (66.6%) had energy consumption levels in the severe deficit category, 28 respondents (93.3%) had carbohydrate consumption levels in the severe deficit category, 13 respondents (43.4%) had protein consumption in the category of weight deficit and as many as 13 respondents (43.4%) had a level of fat consumption in the normal category. The conclusion of the study was that most children with wasting syndrome had normal levels of energy, carbohydrate and protein intake, deficits in weight and fat. The hope of this study is to provide an impetus for parents and the school to pay attention to children's food so that nutritional needs can be met.

Penerapan E-Government oleh Aparat Pengawasan Intern Pemerintah (APIP)  di Kabupaten Garut dilakukan melalui suatu aplikasi yang membuat kegiatan instansi pemerintahan akan tetap berjalan, yaitu web bawaan bernama Seksi Pembinaan dan Pengawasan (SIBINWAS) dan aplikasi pihak ketiga yaitu Google spreadsheet sebagai alat yang dirasa efektif dalam melakukan tugas untuk mencapai tujuan pemerintah ditengah Covid-19. Tentunya dalam penerapan inovasi E-Government tidak jauh dari masalah yang terjadi, mulai dari segi adaptasi pola kerja pegawai yg biasa menggunakan sistem tatap muka/offline sekarang menjadi serba online, kesiapan SDM, respon pengguna layanan, cara sosialisasi sampai kepada efektivitasnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi dan wawancara serta pengumpulan dokumen yang berkaitan dengan bahasan, serta menggunakan alat analisis software Nvivo 12. Hasil yang didapat dari pembahasan bahwa efektivitas dalam segi penerapannya dirasa sudah berjalan dengan baik tetapi masih terdapat beberapa masalah yaitu pengetahuan para pegawai mengenai adanya inovasi E-Government ini diketahui masih belum sepenuhnya paham dikarenakan masih banyak pegawai yang belum melek teknologi, kurangnya sosialisasi dan pelatihan terhadap pegawai mengenai sistem inovasi berbasis web ini dikarenakan waktu yang sedikit sehingga pegawai dipaksa harus bisa dengan kegiatan yang harus tetap berjalan, para pegawai mengalami peralihan kerja yang tadinya menggunakan sistem manual dituntut untuk bisa menggunakan sistem berbasis online sehingga mengakibatkan para pegawai menjadi sedikit kerepotan, sistem dalam penginputan data belum ditunjang oleh sarana yang baik, adanya penginputan data diluar daerah yang membuat jaringan internet lemah.

Lygia Pape produziu uma obra de grande relevância no campo da arte. Entretanto, sua importante atuação paralela, na área do design, não recebe a mesma atenção. Desta forma, a Lygia Pape designer é pouco conhecida. O trabalho que ela desenvolveu para a Indústria de Produtos Alimentícios Piraquê ainda exerce influência sobre muitas pessoas na atualidade, constituindo, desta forma, uma obra longeva. Visando contribuir para compreender as razões desta permanência, este artigo apresenta a análise de uma amostra dos itens que ela concebeu para a entidade, realizada com subsídios da semiótica. A avaliação, de caráter exploratório, evidenciou que a artista conduziu o projeto de cada artefato com bastante cuidado, de tal modo que cada qual constitui uma produção única, à maneira das obras de arte. É possível que esta dedicação possa ter contribuído, de alguma maneira, para diferenciar a criação, gerando certo grau atratividade que propicia a sua continuidade.

O presente trabalho realiza discussão e avaliação sobre a relevância da interação do setor produtivo e sociedade de forma geral como partícipes no processo de definição do processo de construção do projeto político pedagógico do curso de Design. Sob a hipótese de que os profissionais egressos das IES que não atendem princípios e recomendações das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Curso de Design, bem como em relação a pelo menos cinco indicadores dos instrumentos de avaliação externa institucional e de cursos do INEP, no que se refere ao envolvimento do setor produtivo, colocam os cursos em risco de descontinuidade no longo prazo. Assim, visando exemplificar experiência positiva da interação da academia com a indústria, no âmbito na consolidação de simetria de interesses e visões de perfil de formação dos futuros profissionais, apresentam-se ações e resultados obtidos em projeto de parceria entre UFAM e Samsung, denominado SUPER, no qual os discentes do curso de Design obtiveram potencializações em suas formações pelas capacitações adicionais e especializadas obtidas no projeto.
