Authors: Handayani Setya , Mochammad Rizki Romdoni
Published: May 2021

Suatu agensi memerlukan pengelolaan informasi yang baik untuk melayani kebutuhan masyarakat/customer. Pengelolaan informasi yang disampaikan seperti jadwal keberangkatan dan harga tiket dari suatu kapal yang akan berangkat ke berbagai tujuan di wilayah Kepulauan Riau dari daerah asal Tanjungpinang dan Kijang (Tanjungpinang – Senayang, Kijang – Letung, dan lain sebagainya) masih bersifat konvensional dimana penyampaian informasi tersebut belum efektif dan efisien karena masih bersifat manual begitupula dengan pemesanan tiket yang memerlukan waktu cukup lama dan tidak sebentar karena banyaknya jumlah calon penumpang yang memesan tiket khususnya di momen hari besar keagamaan dan liburan akhir tahun. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, maka perlu dibuat suatu aplikasi yang terkomputerisasi. Metode penelitian yang penulis gunakan dilakukan dengan 2 cara yaitu metode pengumpulan data dan metode pengembangan aplikasi model spiral dengan penelitian studi kasus di PT. PELNI Cabang Tanjungpinang. Pengumpulan data dengan cara riset lapangan, observasi, studi kepustakaan, dan bimbingan. Sedangkan alat bantu yang digunakan antara lain, software Eclipse Juno M20130204-1200, XAMPP Control Panel versi 3.2.2, emulator KOPlayer versi 1.4.1049, database menggunakan phpMyAdmin server 127.0.0.1, alat bantu pengembangan rancangan sistem yaitu Unified Modeling Language (UML). Aplikasi yang dibangun diharapkan dapat mendukung informasi diantaranya sistem input registrasi akun, sistem input dan proses data jadwal keberangkatan, serta sistem input dan proses data pemesanan (e-booking) tiket calon penumpang sehingga mempermudah agen dalam melakukan pencarian data calon penumpang yang diperlukan dan dalam hal pembuatan laporan rekapitulasi data serta dapat menampilkan bukti cetak kode e-booking tiket kapal menjadi lebih cepat, tepat dan esifien.

Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) infestation on mustard account for significant yield losses in India. Experimental data from sixteen years were used to study the role of weather on the incidence and development of mustard aphid. Temperature was found to regulate the aphid population build-up and arrival . Weather parameters before one week from aphid population observation contribute higher effect than of the same date, two week prior and three week prior observation. In the present investigation regression equation between aphid incidence and using previous week’s weather data could be used for formulating the forecasting model for L. erysimi, and for taking control measures.
The Importance of eWOM Elements on Online Repurchase Intention: Roles of Trust and Perceived Usefulness
Authors: Maduretno Raden Bernard Eka Hutomo Putra , Junaedi Sheellyana
Published: May 2021

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of online review elements, including electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) quantity, credibility, and quality, on customer’s online repurchase intention through the mediating roles of online seller trust and perceived usefulness of the website. A partial least square (PLS) based structural equation modeling (SEM) was chosen to evaluate the measurement of research constructs and test the research hypotheses. This research uses data collected through online questionnaires in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The respondents’ criterion was college students who had read online recommendations before making purchases on Bukalapak.com, an e-commerce platform in Indonesia. The results suggest that the credibility and quality of eWOM have a positive direct effect on consumers’ repurchase intention, while the eWOM quantity has a negative influence on repurchase intentions. The eWOM credibility and quality indirectly influence repurchase intentions through trust in the online vendor. The perceived usefulness of the websiteonly mediates the influence of eWOM quality on online repurchase intention. Limitations and further research were also discussed.

Macroeconomics Post-GFC
Authors: Azis Iwan Jaya
Published: May 2021

The core model of macroeconomics we teach in colleges and universities uses incredible assumptions to reach absurd conclusions. Among those assumptions are, no financial frictions such as credit rationing, individuals had rational expectations or acted as if they did, and representative agent to represent an aggregation of firm or household sector whose optimizing behaviors are micro-founded. With no financial frictions, the model fails to explain a major event such as the 2008 GFC. Why small shocks can have very large effects (amplification) that last so long (persistence), and why deep downturns can occur repeatedly with powerful spillovers and contagion effects? Constructed for analyzing only small fluctuations, the current core model is likely to provide little guidance as to what should be done in response. In this paper, I argue that the key problem with the current macroeconomics is the superficiality of its treatment towards financial sector. It is shown that financial frictions played a significant role in capital flows fluctuations, external shocks created channels of spillover and contagion across countries and across asset classes, capital flows with the presence of financial frictions made monetary policy more challenging, and they could be detrimental to financial stability and the distribution of income. Corrections and adjustments to existing core macroeconomic model should be based on empirical evidence and how the economy works, not on the esthetic riddles of established paradigm.
Income and Education as the Determinants of Anti-Corruption Attitudes: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Zonebia Anita K. , Yusuf Arief Anshory , Heriyaldi Heriyaldi
Published: May 2021

A higher level of corruption is found to be associated with a lower level of income in most cross-country studies. However, at any given income level, education can also be a very important determinant of the level of corruption, and failing to include education may bias or overestimate the importance of income. We estimated an empirical model of an individual’s attitude toward anti-corruption using a large sample of 9,020 individuals who represent the Indonesian population and found that the effect of income (measured by expenditure) is either weakened or eliminated when we controlled for the level of education. The effect of education is also found to exhibit a nonlinear pattern, which implies that investing in education will have increasing returns in the form of an anti-corruption attitude. This finding supports the view that increasing access to education is an effective measure to reduce corruption norms, particularly in developing countries.

Authors: Kusumawati Ratna Dewi , Achjari Didi
Published: May 2021

Previous studies show that Perceived Effectiveness of Escrow Service (PEES) affects the relationship. In e-commerce, trust can be seen as a trust in the community of sellers and trust in intermediaries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of PEES to moderate relationship between trust in intermediaries and repurchase intentions, and between trust in the community of sellers and repurchase intention. This research was administered to 138 respondents through online survey. The findings indicate that PEES moderates not only the relationship of trust in intermediaries and repurchase intentions, but also the relationship between trust in the community of sellers and repurchase intentions. Keywords: trust to community of seller; trust to intermediary; perceived effectiveness of escrow services; repurchase intentions; e-commerce ---------------------------------- Penelitian terdahulu menunjukkan bahwa Perceived Effectiveness of Escrow Service (PEES) mempengaruhi hubungan kepercayaan kepada komunitas penjual dan intensi pembelian kembali. Dalam konteks e-commerce, kepercayaan dapat dipandang sebagai kepercayaan kepada komunitas penjual dan kepercayaan kepada perantara. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk meneliti peran moderasi PEES terhadap hubungan antara kepercayaan kepada perantara dan intensi pembelian kembali, serta kepercayaankepada komunitas penjual dan intensi pembelian kembali. Penelitian ini dilakukan kepada 138 responden melalui survei daring. Temuan dari hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa PEES memoderasi hubungan antara kepercayaan kepada perantara dan intensi pembelian kembali, serta kepercayaan kepada komunitas penjual dan intensi pembelian kembali.

How Some Lawyers Prioritise Earnings and Not Necessarily the Best Interests of Their Clients
Authors: Steyn Renier
Published: May 2021

This case deals with an employee seeking justice in a labour dispute and who ends up paying a small fortune in legal fees and still fails to find satisfaction. The case provides food for thought for human resource practitioners and particularly lawyers regarding under the circumstances when they should be ethically bound to advise disgruntled employees to cease pursuing a grievance that has little prospect of success. How and when should the human resource practitioner provide professional and independent advice, and when should the ethical (sic) lawyer refuse to approach the courts with a case containing insufficient merit?

Authors: Hastürk Gamze , Özdemir Oğuzhan
Published: May 2021

The knowledge, skills and attitudes of prospective pre-school teacher towards science education enable more effective classroom practices and science teaching. Teaching scientific processes at an early age affects students’ attitudes towards science in the coming years. In this context, this study was designed to examine the relationship between prospective pre-school teachers’ attitudes towards science education and their learning styles. The study was designed as correlational survey model. The sample of this study consists of 193 (165 female, 28 male) prospective pre-school teachers studying in the first, second, third and fourth class of faculty of education of a state university. The data were collected using the “The Science Teaching Attitude Scale” developed by Thompson and Shringley (1986) and adapted into Turkish by Özkan, Tekkaya, and Çakıroğlu (2002) and “Kolb Learning Style Inventory” developed by Kolb (1984) and adapted into Turkish by Evin Gencel (2007) in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. Descriptive statistical analysis and predictive statistical analysis were used in the statistical calculations of the data obtained in the study. As a result of the study, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in the attitudes of prospective teachers towards science education according to their learning styles. In addition, it was determined that prospective pre-school teachers developed positive attitude towards science education and had different learning styles. Based on the results, suggestions have been made regarding the organization of learning environments according to learning styles and the studies that will increase the attitude levels towards science education.
Phrasal Spellout and Partial Overwrite: On an alternative to backtracking
Authors: Blix Hagen
Published: May 2021

This paper explores branching vocabulary items as a possible alternative to backtracking in Nanosyntax. Such vocabulary items give rise to the possibility of partial overwrite. Initially, they spell out a node with two phrasal daughters. At a subsequent stage, the right branch is interpreted by a new element, but the original item continues to spell out the left branch of such a derivation. The effects that branching vocabulary items give rise to thus mimic aspects of backtracking, without requiring mechanisms that undo parts of the derivation.
Race, Revisionism, Ethnic Boundaries, and Japanese American Internment
Authors: Kurashige Lon
Published: May 2021

Recognizing the centrality of race in US immigration and ethnic history—what is known as the field’s “racial turn”—has been advocated, applauded, and globalized; but it has yet to be examined from a theoretical perspective. To better understand the appeal and limitations of the field’s race-centered analysis, historians can profit from studying the contemporary development of race theory, as well as the revisionism against it. There is a vigorous debate among social scientists about the significance of race. This article addresses this debate, especially from the revisionist side. In so doing, it highlights revisionist Andreas Wimmer’s model of ethnic boundary making, and explores its insights for the study of Japanese American internment during World War II.

Authors: Srivastava Sona , Kondasani Rama Koteshwara Rao , Masih Amit Kumar
Published: May 2021

The principal objective of this research paper is to Prioritise Customer Perceived Service Quality (CPSQ) in the proportion of service quality for Indian cooperative banking sector. In order to understand the cooperative banking customer’s perspective and their relative significance, thirty three service quality dimensions are considered and deeply analysed. In addition, Questionnaire of Customer Perceives Service Quality (CPSQ) is also collected and implemented. Here, the necessary data is collected in the months of November 2019 and January 2020 respectively by using convenience sampling method. The data is collected from the state of Utter Pradesh, India. The reason behind choosing Utter Pradesh is, it agriculturally strong and has higher population (around 20 Crores) in India. Here, to prioritise the CPSQ scale, we have used Relative to an Identified Distribution (RIDIT) & Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and later we also compared the results to check the reliability of these ranking methods. To perform this prioritization we have used seven factors such as Efficiency (EFF); Infrastructure (INF); Effectivenes (EFT); Timely Services (TMS); Bank Image (BIG); Safety & Security (SS) and Up to date technology (UDT). Later, GRA and RIDIT analysis are also conducted to distinguish the prioritization of service quality items. The present study and analysis helps to validate the cooperative banks service quality in general by ranking the service quality dimensions, which are specifically important in Indian banking sector to improve and enhance its quality. Finally, the obtained results shows that, it is apparent that managers of cooperative banks in Indian scenario must focus more on cooperative bank quality dimensions to improve the reliability of their customer’s perception of cooperative banking in terms of better performance and service quality.
Student-Centered Online Teaching Practices in Theoretical Mechanics
Authors: Sun Haibin , Liu Tingting
Published: May 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on education at all levels and types, and the education system, including colleges and universities, has been forced to respond by a sudden shift to online teaching. Successful online teaching requires careful thinking, planning, and technical and human support from teachers. Based on the reflection on the offline classroom teaching of theoretical mechanics for many years and the online teaching practice of first half of 2020, the author summarizes effective strategies for implementing online teaching of theoretical mechanics. We prepared the theoretical mechanical lessons through a “student-centered” approach, such as preparing teaching materials, students and teaching methods. These teaching strategies include (i) Adopting live-stream teaching as the main teaching method, (ii) Applying electronic blackboard to online deductions, (iii) Linking theory to practice for better understanding of knowledge, (iv) Integrating curriculum content in ideological and moral education, (v) Conducting formative assessment to supervise and motivate online learning. The implementation of these online teaching strategies has effectively promoted the development of students' independent learning ability.

KPSS: It is the shortening of the Public Personnel Selection Exam. These exams determine people to work in public institutions and organizations in Turkey. The phenomenology model, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 34 teacher candidates (male = 19, female = 15) graduated from Usak University, Department of Social Studies. In the collection of data in the research, firstly review of literature about the subject was done, and then a semi-structured interview form was used to apply to social studies teacher candidates. Some questions are standardized, some questions are prepared open-ended. In this type of interview, it is possible to obtain in-depth information. The data collected within the scope of the research were transferred to a word file in computer- mediated and subjected to content analysis. At the end of the research, the most frequently applied sources of candidate teachers preparing for KPSS during the pandemic period is that; videos, books, online lessons, articles and lesson notes. The teacher candidates stated that their families’ attitudes towards them were generally positive during the pandemic period. The advantages of the pandemic period was revealed that candidate teachers studied more than usual, the disadvantages of the pandemic periodwas that there was no activity, anxiety and stress increased, and the fear of getting sick came out. In addition, it was emphasized in the study that preparing for KPSS during the pandemic period is more difficult than preparing for it in the normal period.
Perspectivas alternativas sobre la medición del envejecimiento en España: diferencias territoriales
Authors: Spijker Jeroen
Published: May 2021

El envejecimiento de la población es el cambio de la estructura por edad en que la proporción de personas mayores aumenta con relación a las más jóvenes. Con frecuencia se considera que este proceso supondrá un incremento importante del gasto público destinado al bienestar y la salud de las personas mayores, razón por la cual el envejecimiento de la población ha servido de justificación para ciertos ajustes de austeridad y el aumento en la edad de jubilación. Mediante cuatro indicadores alternativos, el presente artículo muestra lo siguiente: 1) que el aumento de la supervivencia en edades más avanzadas tiene un efecto rejuvenecedor en la población; 2) que los periodos de auge económico alivian la carga del envejecimiento, mientras que un mercado laboral infrautilizado la agrava. De ahí que los economistas y los responsables de las políticas públicas deban replantearse el uso de los indicadores comunes de dependencia de la vejez basados en la edad de 65 años como «umbral de vejez» y la edad de 16 a 64 como la población «productiva» para justificar sus argumentos y políticas.

Estimating the size of the shadow economy in Poland
Authors: Czapkiewicz Anna , Brzozowska-Rup Katarzyna
Published: May 2021

The shadow economy, as an interdisciplinary phenomenon, generates many controversies and difficulties for researchers. Economic entities operating within the non-observed (hidden) economy strive to escape official records, therefore a direct estimation of the extent of the phenomenon remains unobtainable. The aim of this article is to present the results of the estimation of the size of the shadow economy in Poland on the basis of the differences between GDP calculated according to the ‘production’ and the ‘expenditure’ approaches. The authors propose an original technique based on the idea of residual methods. In the course of the study, two models describing the dependencies between the growth of GDP and the growth of indicators used in the in the above-mentioned approaches to GDP calculation were established. The identified differences between the value of this measure calculated according to the production and expenditure approaches were used for the estimation of the size of the shadow economy in Poland, presented as a share in GDP. The analysis was carried out on the basis of panel data reflecting the values of selected macroeconomic indicators measured on the voivodship scale in the years 2000–2017, drawn from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland. The obtained results resemble to a large extent the estimates of the shadow economy by Statistics Poland and EY, and also partly that by United Nations Global Compact. The analysis presented in the paper is part of the research conducted by the Centre for Non-Observed Economy Srudies (OGN) at the Statistical Office in Kielce, whose aim is to improve the methodology currently used by official statistics in Poland.
Challenges of contemporary social work in Ghana
Authors: Owusu Samuel A.
Published: May 2021

Social work is practiced all over the world with the primary aim of helping individuals and improving the welfare of the general society. Ghana is a multi-ethnic society with a multitude of different cultural practices that may affect social work interventions (implementation by practitioners and clients’ response). The main goal of this paper is to show how indigenous cultural practices in Ghana shape the way of supporting children, older people, people living with physical disabilities and mental health disorders, and the socially excluded.
This paper relies on available literature and the first-hand account of the author. The extended family system where parenting, kinship, and identity includes the nuclear family as well as grand-parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws is prominent in Ghana, especially in rural areas. The positive aspect of this system as shown in this paper shows the merits in a collectivist approach to social welfare. However, some aspects of local cultural practices are shown to limit how vulnerable people have access to needed help. The article indicates the need to prepare social workers in such a way that their practice is adjusted to respond to local cultural practices in order to ensure more people have access to help and reduce the potential of rejection by people in local communities. It also contributes to the discussion on the merits of indigenization of social work.
Self-assessment and coping with stress in the area of competence on the example of future social workers
Authors: Stanek Katarzyna
Published: May 2021

The issue of self-assessment is primarily discussed in the context of human behaviour, learning, and self-esteem. It seems important to include self-assessment in building individual competences and coping with stress. Nowadays we have more and more resources, but we also experience a greater number of stressful stimuli, which is a consequence of, among others occupational burnout. Is the self-assessment associated with the perceived stress? Is the self-assessment related to the style of coping with stress? The purpose of this article is to determine the intensity of the relationship between self-assessment and stress, and styles of coping with stress. The study was conducted in a group of 210 students specialising in social work, employed in social assistance institutions or intending to take up a job as a social worker.

Authors: Seiler Bartosz , Bortnowska Hanna
Published: May 2021

The issue of job burnout has been paid a great deal of attention over the years, due to entailing several negative consequences for employees’ well-being, health, organizational behaviour. Job burnout may affect employees of any category, being rooted not only in personality and interpersonal factors but also in organizational factors. The purpose of the article is to answer the following research question: Are there any differences between Polish nonprofit, for-profit and public organizations regarding managers’ job burnout? To that end, a cross-sectoral survey was conducted in 2019 among 105 purposive selected managers. The
statistical analysis showed the differences in the job burnout experienced by managers of each type of organization under review. While a medium level of job burnout was reported among all of the managers, the highest such level was found among nonprofit managers.
TRADITIONAL WOODWORKING TOOLS.
A HISTORIAN’S COLLECTION
Authors: Wrede Marek
Published: May 2021

The paper focuses on a private collection of
woodworking tools created in Warsaw in 1982–2020,
covering over 400 items, mainly Polish, but also German,
Austrian, English, French, and American. It presents the
genesis of the collection, methods of its development,
internal structure, and the collection study modes.
The presentation is accompanied by comments dealing
with the importance of a collection of tools, or more broadly
of items not widely considered to be socially prestigious,
seen against the phenomenon of collecting perceived as
an element of ‘luxury consumption for show’, as well as by
the first attempts at comparing collecting realities and the
position of woodworking tools in the hierarchy of museum
objects in Poland and European countries.
A SEAMAN, DIPLOMAT, AND COLLECTOR:
ANDRZEJ WAWRZYNIAK 1931–2020
Authors: Wasilewska Joanna
Published: May 2021

In the tribute the personality of Andrzej
Wawrzyniak (1931–2020), the founder and long-standing
Director of the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw (bearing
his name since 2017), is presented. Working as a diplomat
in Indonesia in the 1960s, he amassed a sizeable collection
of artefacts from the Malay Archipelago, large even
if compared to similar ones worldwide, which allowed to
set up a new museum in Warsaw in 1973. The Museum
soon extended the sphere of its interests, today boasting
collections from almost the whole of continental Asia and
a substantial part of Oceania. For 40 years the collection
was shaped mainly by the collecting choices of its founder
and surprisingly numerous donations. As a result, a unique
collection was formed, documenting a wide range of
cultures, at the same time bearing testimony to its author’s
personality. Furthermore, the issues of the perception
of the Asia and Pacific Museum as well as of Asia’s cultures
are discussed in the paper, and so are later alterations of this
perception. Additionally, the questions of selection criteria
and evaluation of museum objects are tackled.

Sicherheit und Frieden? Ein Blick von außen
Authors: Brock Lothar
Published: May 2021

Whether or not, and how, ‘security’ and ‘peace’ go together has always been an issue of discussion among peace researchers. The focus on peace instead of on (military) security was constitutive for early German ‘critical peace research’. The inception of S+F can be regarded as an attempt to bridge the divide between peace and security studies. In this regard, the title of the journal was programmatic. It served a useful purpose when, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, peace research (with important exceptions, of course) tended to move towards critical security studies combined with a reductionist understanding of peace as ‘comprehensive security’ and as a label on a tool box for civil conflict management (in the ‘new wars’). In this context, S+F reminded the community of the need to maintain the distinction between peace and security. The journal also offered the space for debating this distinction in terms of the different logics of peace and security.
Sind Terminservicestellen das richtige Instrument zur Reduzierung von Wartezeiten auf einen Facharzttermin?
Authors: Sobiech-Eruhimovic Bella , Martin David
Published: May 2021

Nach Einschätzung des Gesetzgebers sind lange Wartezeiten auf Facharzttermine eines der großen Probleme für gesetzlich Versicherte. Um dem entgegenzuwirken wurden von den KVen betriebene Terminservicestellen initiiert. Die bisher vorliegenden Untersuchungen zu Wartezeiten beziehen sich auf Befragungen. In dieser Arbeit erfolgt erstmalig eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Thematik anhand von Abrechnungsdaten. Beantwortet wird die Frage, ob Terminservicestellen in der derzeitigen Ausgestaltung zur Reduzierung der Wartezeit auf einen Facharzttermin beitragen. Außerdem erfolgt erstmalig eine Evaluation bezüglich Inanspruchnahme, Patientenstruktur und abgerechneter Leistungen.

Am Beispiel Berlin wird gezeigt, wie sich die räumliche Sozialstruktur anhand weniger Sozial- und Gesundheitsvariablen durch Sozialindizes beschreiben und in der Zeit analysieren lässt. Der Planungs- und politische Anwendungsbezug wird im Beitrag anhand von Umsetzungsbeispielen beschrieben.
RFID Applications in Retail
Authors: Kasiri Narges
Published: May 2021

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is one of the latest product tracking technologies being utilized by retailers. Operations management improvements were among the first recognized applications of this technology earlier in the century. RFID applications in managing retail operations, such as inventory management and control, lead to significant benefits. However, RFID applications are not limited to operations management and go beyond the operations side to offer improvements in other areas in retail such as marketing and managing customers’ shopping experiences. In this research, we review the applications of RFID technology in retail since its introduction and how those applications have evolved over the last two decades to help retailers provide omnichannel services to their customers in the current market. We will demonstrate what strategic and tactical factors have helped retailers implement this technology and what factors have slowed down the process of adoption. We will also report on the latest status of the utilization of RFID in the retail sector.
Embryo Culture and Embryo Rescue inBrassica
Authors: Akmal Mohammad
Published: May 2021

Somatic embryogenesis is the best demonstration of totipotency in higher plants in which somatic cell produce whole plant like zygotic embryo. It is also demonstrated that immature, weak, hybrid or sometimes inviable embryos can be saved through in vitro culture to prevents its degradation. It may help to cross the reproductive barriers when interspecific hybrids developed. Brasssica is an economically valuable oil yielding and vegetable crop and India is the largest producer of oil seed rape in the world. Various factors affect the embryo rescue in Brassica like growth stage of the embryos, types and composition of the rescue medium etc. The embryo regeneration potential can improve through the modification of culture conditions in both zygotic as well as somatic embryo. Except the embryo culture other parts like ovule, ovary culture can also be done to developed interspecific hybrids. This chapter is focused on the embryo rescue techniques in the genus Brassica and summarizes possible ways of improving the technique used.
