PENGARUH TRADISI KRITIK BARAT DAN ASIAN VALUES DALAM MEMBENTUK TRADISI KRITIK INDONESIA
Authors: Permana Rangga , Darsa Undang , Sumarlina Elis
Published: October 2024

Tradisi kritik mulai tumbuh dan berkembang pada masa Pencerahan (Enlightenment era) di Eropa. Era Pencerahan membawa perubahan pemikiran manusia menjadi lebih logis, sistematis dan kritiks. Pencerahan meletakkan landasan intelektual bagi tradisi kritik Barat dengan mengedepankan nalar, individualisme, hak asasi manusia, dan komitmen terhadap penyelidikan empiris. Jauh setelah itu, pada masa Orde Baru, pemerintah Indonesia memberlakukan “Asian values” (“nilai-nilai Asia”) yang coba diimplementasikan melalui Pancasila. Asian values-lah yang membentuk tradisi kritik khas Indonesia yang muncul pada masa Orde Baru. Melalui kajian ini, penulis ingin mengemukakan bahwa terdapat dua konsep yang memengaruhi tradisi kritik di Indonesia. Tujuan dari kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana tradisi kritik Barat dan Asian values memengaruhi terbentuknya tradisi kritik Indonesia yang kita kenal sekarang. Penulis menggunakan metode kajian literatur dalam artikel ini. Penulis mengumpulkan berbagai referensi, mulai dari buku, artikel jurnal ilmiah, laporan hasil penelitian, hingga sumber-sumber referensi yang berasal dari internet. Seluruh sumber tersebut mencakup konsep-konsep mengenai kritik secara umum, tradisi kritik Barat, Asian values dan referensi-referensi lain yang relevan dengan konsep-konsep tersebut. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dualisme tradisi yang memengaruhi tradisi kritik Indonesia, yaitu tradisi kritik Barat yang ciri-cirinya dipengaruhi era Pencerahan di Eropa dan tradisi kritik yang dipengaruhi Asian values dan otoritarianisme. Di satu sisi, sejumlah kritikus dan budayawan Indonesia cenderung menggunakan cara kritik Barat yang lahir dari era Pencerahan dalam karya-karya yang mereka hasilkan. Di sisi lain, Asian values juga memegang peranan penting dan memiliki pengaruh besar dalam terbentuknya tradisi kritik Indonesia yang bersifat tidak langsung dan mengedepankan harmoni.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to build a Project Manager Competence Development (PMCD) model for Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC). The existent competence models in the related state-of-the-art are reviewed to generate and compile an initial list of project managers' competencies. Then, a Delphi analysis is used to complete the list and validate it. Further, the Best Worst Method (BWM) is employed to assign numerical weights to the competencies. As a result of the study, 16 competencies were identified in two categories: technical and behavioral. To show the applicability of the proposed PMCD, it is applied in a real-life study case. The results showed: (1) leadership competence has the highest weight, and (2) this fact that more than 99% of the total weight concerns only three competencies: leadership, project management knowledge, and judgment & decision making.
Soft-int Almost Interior Ideals for Semigroups
Authors: Sezgin Aslıhan , BAŞ Zeynep Hare
Published: October 2024

Just as the concept of interior ideal of semigroups is a generalization of ideal in semigroups, the notion of soft intersection (soft-int) interior ideal is a generalization of soft-int ideal. In this paper, we propose the concepts of soft-int (weakly) almost interior ideal of a semigroup as a generalization of the nonnull soft-int  interior ideals. We explore their algebraic properties in detail. We also show that an idempotent soft-int almost interior ideal is a soft-int almost subsemigroup. We additionally derive several intriguing relations related to semiprimeness, minimality, and (strongly) primeness between almost interior ideals and soft-int  almost interior ideals.

Additionally, the paper explores the incorporation of neutrosophic values to account for uncertainty in the comparisons. Finally, we discuss the extraction of results, including matched sequences, similarity scores, and accuracy measures. This in-depth exploration provides a clear understanding of the algorithm's capabilities and fosters its effective application in DNA sequence analysis.
An Approach to Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Based on Single-Valued Neutrosophic Hesitant Fuzzy Aczel-Alsina Aggregation Operator
Authors: Imran Raiha , Ullah Kifayat , Ali Zeeshan , Akram Maria
Published: October 2024

A single-valued Neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) is a combination of a single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) that has been developed to address insufficient, unreliable, and vague environments in which each element has several possible options determined by the truthiness, indeterminacy and falsity value. By considering this, in this paper, we have proposed the Aczel-Alsina aggregation operator (AAAO) for SVNHFS, which is more flexible t-norm and t-conorm than the other and due to the flexible nature of parameters to solve Multi-Attribute decision making (MADM) problems. Further, the score function, accuracy function, and certainty function of SVNHFS have been defined. In this paper, we proposed the single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy Aczel-Alsina Weighted Averaging Operator (SVNHFAAWA), single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy Aczel-Alsina Weighted ordered Averaging Operator (SVNHFAAWOA), and single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy Aczel-Alsina hybrid averaging operator (SVNHFAAHA). To testify to the reliability and stability of the newly created aggregation operator (AO), an application of MADM has been discussed.
Distance education support services: Sensemaking amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Biccard Piera , Sibisi Ningi
Published: October 2024

In this article, we explore the notion of sensemaking during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploring sensemaking in periods of disruption and uncertainty can provide a deeper understanding of how distance education institutions can navigate future disruptions. We focus on support staff employed at one institution and their experience during remote work as a result of lockdown measures. Support staff are essential for the effective functioning and success of distance institutions. We use sensemaking as a conceptual and theoretical framework to understand staff experience of how their roles changed because of lockdown measures. Four participants were interviewed on digital platforms. All were involved in sensemaking by exploring the wider system, creating a map of their new work environment, acting to change their work system, and subsequently learning from it. It was also found that their sensemaking includes both affective and cognitive elements. We recommend that sensemaking theories and conceptual frameworks be used to further understand sensemaking in distance education support services during times of change.
Effect of treatment on the activity of PREP and Transglutaminase-IgA(Ttg-IgA) and other biomolecules in patients with celiac disease (CeD)
Authors: Faak Mahmood Fatma , Habib Saifullah Perry
Published: October 2024

Celiac disease (CeD) is a long-term inflammatory disorder of the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. When gluten is consumed, it leads to damage to the intestinal lining, resulting in poor absorption of nutrients. Although nutrient malabsorption is a significant risk for various complications associated with CeD, genetic, immune, and environmental factors also play key roles. The clinical presentation of CeD can vary widely, ranging from no symptoms to severe symptoms, reflecting its impact on multiple organ systems. Currently, the only evidence-based treatment is a gluten-free diet (GFD), which can fully repair the intestinal damage and stop disease progression. If left undiagnosed, CeD can lead to serious complications in both children and adults.

Published: October 2024

Management is a systematic science to understand why and how humans work together to produce something useful for other people and certain groups and society in general. The functions of management according to experts vary, but from all experts who argue about the function of management there are similarities. In this paper, the author describes the function of planning management in Islamic education. In the Qur’an there are lafad whose meaning is commensurate with management, namely lafad of which lafad (yudabbiru) in Surah Yunus/10:3 which means to regulate, that Allah is in control of everything that happens on this earth. The word planning is not found in qath’iyah (clear) lafad in the Qur’an, but many verses of the Qur’an that talk about lafad that are commensurate with the Qur’an, by definition educational planning is an effort that is systematically arranged in various ways to achieve future goals with pay attention to the economic, socio-cultural and overall fields of a country.

The management of Karang Taruna plays a strategic role in maintaining and strengthening unity and national awareness within the community. However, there remains a gap in understanding related to national awareness, particularly among the youth involved in Karang Taruna in Central Lombok Regency. This issue serves as a significant backdrop for community service aimed at enhancing the understanding and appreciation of national awareness. This program aims to provide reinforcement of national awareness to Karang Taruna administrators across Central Lombok Regency through an integrated training and mentoring program. The method used in this activity is a participatory approach, involving stages of socialization, training, focus group discussions, and continuous evaluation. The training includes expert speakers in the fields of nationalism and leadership, combined with case studies and real-life simulations. The results of this community service show a pre-test score of 55% and a significant increase to 88% in the post-test on participants' understanding of national awareness, as measured through pre and post-test evaluations. Additionally, there was a 90% increase in motivation and sense of responsibility among participants in fostering national spirit within their respective communities. In-depth discussions with participants indicate that practical and interactive approaches in training are more effective in enhancing understanding of abstract concepts of nationalism compared to conventional lecture methods. It is hoped that through this reinforcement of national awareness, Karang Taruna administrators can become change agents who promote unity, harmony, and national spirit in their regions

This study aimed to assess the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors affecting job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees of Tinig ng Silangan Inc. A survey questionnaire served as the primary data collection instrument, with 33 employees selected as respondents through purposive sampling. The collected data were encoded and subjected to statistical analysis, utilizing mean calculations, T-tests, and ANOVA to evaluate significant differences in responses. Additionally, Pearson r was employed to examine the relationship between variables related to remote work and employee engagement. The findings indicate that respondents expressed general satisfaction with both intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing their job motivation, along with a high level of organizational commitment. However, no significant relationships were found between intrinsic or extrinsic factors and affective or continuance commitment. Notably, normative commitment demonstrated a significant relationship with the intrinsic factor "achievement." Significant correlations were also observed between "recognition" and all dimensions of organizational commitment, as well as between "work itself" and "development potential." Affective commitment was significantly associated with the "responsibility" factor, while no significance was noted for continuance or normative commitment. Furthermore, a strong link emerged between "advancement" and affective commitment. Despite the generally positive assessment of motivational factors, respondents highlighted challenges, including insufficient funding, lack of job security, minimal financial support, and an unclear career progression due to the organization's non-governmental status. Overall, while respondents showed a commitment to the organization, priorities included improving financial stability, salary, and personnel standards.
