Published: February 2024

Pabrik Gondorukem dan Terpentin (PGT) Rejowinangun merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan getah pinus menjadi gondorukem dan terpentin. Pada 6 bulan terakhir perusahaan mengalami fluktuasi. Hal ini dikarenakan produktivitas perusahaan kurang stabil mengalami kenaikan dan penurunan yang tidak sesuai target perusahaan. Nilai indikator produktivitas pada departemen produksi di PGT Rejowinangun dari bulan Januari sampai dengan bulan Juni dengan menggunakan metode OMAX adalah: 5.8, 3.5, 1.59, 3.59, 2.83, dan 6.99 dengan nilai rata – rata 4.05 (berada diatas nilai standar 3.00). Rasio yang memiliki nilai terendah adalah rasio 5 (jam lembur aktual/jam rencana lembur) karena pada rasio ini terjadi penurunan pada periode kedua dan di periode lainnya memiliki nilai yang rendah dari semua rasio. Strategi rekomendasi perbaikan peningkatan produktivitas pada departemen produksi PGT Rejowinangun adalah mengatur rencana produksi dengan baik sesuai dengan kebutuhan pasar, menganalisis setiap tahap produksi untuk mengidentifikasi dimana waktu yang mungkin terbuang dengan percuma, mengurangi waktu siklus jika memungkinkan, mengadakan pelatihan dan keterampilan untuk karyawan mengenai SOP di perusahaan, memastikan bahwa karyawan tidak terlalu diberi tekanan yang bisa memunculkan kebutuhan untuk melakukan lembur.

Analisa Perencanaan Metode Joint Economic Order Quantity (JEOQ) Pada Persediaan Bahan Baku di UD. Fajar
Authors: Arya Dimas , Nurmawati Nurmawati , Susiati Devi
Published: February 2024

Model JEOQ mensyaratkan bahwa biaya pemesanan, biaya pembelian beras per ton berdasarkan jenis atau grade beras, dan biaya penyimpanan beras di gudang beras harus dipertimbangkan sebelum model dapat digunakan. Pendekatan JEOQ tanpa memperhitungkan variasi siklus produksi beras merupakan pendekatan yang akan digunakan sebagai dasar penelitian ini. Teknik JEOQ yang tidak memperhitungkan perubahan siklus produksi beras menjadi fokus utama pendekatan pertama, sedangkan pendekatan JEOQ yang memperhitungkan perbedaan siklus produksi beras menjadi fokus utama pendekatan kedua. Pembuatan beras Bulog dan beras anim ha akan menggunakan berbagai bahan baku yang berbeda, antara lain beras mapan 05, ir 48, inpari 32, dan ciherang. Tingkat perputaran persediaan beras dan beras yang relatif tinggi bahkan dapat mempermudah pemenuhan kebutuhan bulanan akan sumber daya keuangan untuk membeli beras karena kemungkinan besar akan tersedia beras. Guna meningkatkan pengendalian produksi beras dan meningkatkan kesesuaian penerapan JEOQ, perusahaan harus mencantumkan ketentuan dalam kontrak kerjanya dengan pemasok beras yang menentukan waktu antar pesanan dan lead time beras yang lebih tepat.

Published: February 2024

Este artigo analisa os critérios e limites de regimes especiais de trabalho, considerada a previsão do art. 103 da Constituição do Peru.  O estudo reconhece o problema de que cada vez menos assalariados peruanos estão sujeitos ao regime geral, sendo alocados em algum dos normativos que compõem o arquipélago normativo peruano, que impõe distinção e subtrai proteção que deveria ser garantia estatal. A partir de revisão de bibliografia, legislação e jurisprudência peruana, o estudo investiga os limites normativos desses regimes, analisando a validade no plano interno constitucional e internacional, dentro dos contornos do princípio da não regressividade e direitos humanos laborais. Discorre assim sobre igualdade e proteção estatal, criticamente analisada a distinção normativa produzida sob o mote de promoção de emprego. Assinala que o arquipélago normativo sustenta situação desigual que descura do caráter finalista e axiológico do ordenamento jurídico, sendo reflexo do triunfo jurídico da racionalidade instrumental. Respalda a investigação em dados estatísticos e gráficos quantitativos, analisando em especial três regimes especiais que envolvem: i) trabalhadores da exportação não tradicional (Decreto-Lei nº 22.342); ii) trabalhadores rurais (Lei nº 27.260); e, iii) trabalhadores em micro e pequenas empresas (Lei nº 28.015). A partir desses dados, o artigo visa a apurar a arbitrariedade normativa do legislador peruano, nem sempre reparada por decisões do Tribunal Constitucional, apesar de contundentes argumentos de alguns juízes dessa corte. Defende seja condicionado o regime especial sempre à proteção do trabalhador, limitando tratamentos distintos, que devem ser limitados estritamente a situações de justificativa objetiva e razoável.

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is one of the measures to reduce newborn mortality. Nurses and midwives are crucial healthcare workers to achieving EIBF.Objective: To explore the knowledge and perceptions of nurses and midwives towards breastmilk and breastfeeding, EIBF and the perceived barriers to EIBF.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study using an adapted standardized questionnaire which tested 4 domains of: knowledge about breastmilk and breastfeeding; the ability of the newborn to feed immediately after birth; the practice of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) for the newborn; and the practice of EIBF. The knowledge and perception of the respondents were categorized as good or poor if the total scores from the question-domains were ≥ 70% or < 70% respectively. Results: The general knowledge and perception about breastmilk and breastfeeding initiation was good with 64.6% and 62.6 % of respondents respectively having scores ≥ 70. The perception of the newborn feeding ability and the role of SSC were poor with scores of 27.1% and 31.3% respectively. The leading perceived barrier to EIBF was the mother being on nil-per-oris after C/S (81.3%). Binary logistic regression applied to the predictors of good practice in EIBF showed that the participants’ length of stay in their current ward posting (p = 0.002), knowledge about breastmilk and breastfeeding (p = 0.04) and perception of SSC (p = 0.003) were the most significant.Conclusion: Knowledge dissemination should prioritize the importance of EIBF and its perceived barriers.

Published: February 2024

Emotion regulation (ER) often is impaired in current or remitted major depression (MD), although the extent of the deficits is not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) could be a promising electrophysiological measure to investigate ER. The purpose of this study was to investigate ER differences between participants with lifetime major depression (lifetime MD) and healthy controls (HC) for the first time in an experimental task by using FAA. We compared lifetime MD (n = 34) and HC (n = 25) participants aged 18–24 years in (a) an active ER condition, in which participants were instructed to reappraise negative images and (b) a condition in which they attended to the images while an EEG was recorded. We also report FAA results from an independent sample of adolescents with current MD (n = 36) and HC adolescents (n = 38). In the main sample, both groups were able to decrease self-reported negative affect in response to negative images through ER, without significant group differences. We found no differences between groups or conditions in FAA, which was replicated within the independent adolescent sample. The lifetime MD group also reported less adaptive ER in daily life and higher difficulty of ER during the task. The lack of differences between in self-reported affect and FAA between lifetime MD and HC groups in the active ER task indicates that lifetime MD participants show no impairments when instructed to apply an adaptive ER strategy. Implications for interventional aspects are discussed.

When emotions are disturbed or moral values are low, cyberbullying can act as a trigger. Psychological support for adolescents who are frequent victims of cyberbullying becomes crucial as they may face difficulties in receiving love and communicating effectively. Effective preventive measures need to focus on character education rooted in moral values. To achieve this, collaboration between family, school, and society namely Tri Pusat Pendidikan is highly essential. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that adolescents can understand the importance of respecting others, avoiding bullying behavior, and using communication technology responsibly.

This paper has three main objectives: (1) establish the relationship between performance in vocabulary with performance in reading comprehension and writing; (2) determine whether good performance in reading comprehension automatically translates into corresponding good performance in vocabulary and writing or not; (3) establish the correlation between gender and performance in vocabulary, reading comprehension and writing attainment among Grade 12 students. Numerous first language studies show a high correlation between good readers and writers, assuming reading and writing mutually reinforce each other. Some explore the link between vocabulary size and depth and their correlation with reading and writing. Fewer studies examined the connection of (1) vocabulary and reading comprehension and (2) vocabulary knowledge and writing in a second language environment. These studies have reported that second language inputs (reading and writing) play a pivotal role in developing literacy skills amongst learners in second language contexts, i.e., reading input affects the development of writing and reading abilities and or vice versa (meaning, writing input could have the same effect). We recommend that education standards officers, school administrators, and teachers should design strategies to develop in students the habit of independent reading.

This research aims to analyze employment planning in the school environment, including analysis of activities and workload, as well as evaluation of recruitment, selection, training and development of teaching staff. Research background shows that good workforce planning can improve school efficiency and effectiveness. The research method used is analysis of activity and workload data, as well as evaluation of teacher recruitment, selection, training and development. The research results show that workforce planning is more focused on academic and non-academic aspects in recruitment and selection, with less emphasis on behavior change through training. Evaluations are carried out periodically, but there are gaps in program progress and implementation. The implications of these findings indicate the need for increased focus on aspects of behavior change in teacher training and development programs as well as improvements in the assessment and implementation of employment evaluations in schools.

Effective strategy implementation has remained a huge challenge in Nigerian Government Agencies. This study investigates stakeholder engagement practices across Nigerian government agencies to evaluate their impact on strategy implementation effectiveness. The research focuses on four key dimensions: Effective Communication, Stakeholder Inclusiveness and Diversity, Mechanisms of Stakeholder Engagement, and Stakeholder Satisfaction, specifically assessing their influence on resource allocation. Using a descriptive survey design, three pivotal government agencies INEC, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission were purposively selected. Data was collected from 384 respondents, and multiple regression was used in the analysis. Findings reveal that transparent internal communication significantly influences increased resource allocation (B = 0.558, p < 0.005). Moreover, agencies incorporating diverse stakeholder input observe larger allocations to strategic priorities (B = 0.083, p = 0.005). Also, Mechanisms of stakeholder engagement (B = 0.101, p < 0.005) exhibit significant positive relationship. Equally, higher satisfaction among stakeholders correlates with greater deployment of resources (B = 0.205, p < 0.005). The study recommends that Nigerian government agencies enhance internal communication, promote inclusive stakeholder engagement, and refine resource allocation strategies. Emphasizing diverse perspectives and stakeholder satisfaction is crucial, while investments in organizational and management capacities alongside technical planning can solidify agencies' effectiveness in securing resources for proactive strategic changes.

The study examined arbitrage in port operation and maritime performance for period of (32) years spanning through 1990 to 2022. The independent variable employed in study (INFRSK), (EXCHR), (MNSP), and (TRB) meanwhile, the dependent variable is MRTGDP. Data were collected from CBN Statistical bulletin 2022. The study adopts the OLS methodology. Data set was described using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and inferential analysis. The finding shows EXCHR and TRB have positive and significant relationship with MRTGDP while INFRSK and MNSP disclose negative relationship with MRTGDP. The study further recommends that stable macroeconomic policies should be adopted by port operators in order to maintain the macrocosmic risk variables, such as the rate of inflation, the value of the dollar, and the rate of Treasury bills, at a level that is helpful and consistent with marine performances. Also Despite the limited progress that has been made thus far, economic volatility has remained the biggest threat to the performance of the maritime industry. As a result, we offer strategic recommendations for driving port operating arbitrage.

The mass fraction of protein is 8 %, the mass fraction of fat is 7 %. The authors of the article have developed a technological scheme for the production of a new product of the "Halal" category, which includes: acceptance of raw materials, cutting, deboning, veining, grinding to 2-3 mm of meat raw materials. At the next stage, meat is cooked at t 2-4 0C for 12 hours, minced meat is prepared (adding jerusalem artichoke 3 %, adding vitamin premix "Rovifarin" in an amount of 1.0 %, as well as spices and garlic according to the developed recipe). At the next stage, the minced meat is stuffed into natural shells with a diameter of (32-44) mm, cooled at t (4 + 2) 0C, stored at t (4 + 2) 0C for 36 hours. During the microstructural study of a sample of boiled and smoked sausage produced using traditional technology, it was found that the mass of the sample was formed from large fragments of muscle, fat and connective tissue (0.7-1.4) microns. The layout of the structural elements of the minced meat is dense, vacuoles and microcapillaries are rounded in shape, sometimes without clear boundaries, merged, with a size of (60-300) microns.
