Published: September 2019

The government of Indonesia is targeting a supply shortage or housing backlog in 2019 to be 5.4 million. With the shortage of rental housing needs that are still very large, the development needs of rental flats in the future are still very high. But on the other hand, the implementation of construction projects in Indonesia, in general, the number of work accidents also increased. Referring to Labor Social Service Agency (BPJS) data, nationally the number of occupational accidents in the construction sector is recorded as the most national sector of the number of occupational accidents. Managerial finance is important to assist the process of making decisions related to work safety. While the regulations and provisions concerning occupational, health, and safety (OHS) financing in Indonesia in the construction sector, especially in buildings, have not been clearly and measurably regulated. In its implementation, the existing regulations have not been fully followed by construction actors even within the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing itself. Architectural works on building construction, in this case, the construction of rental apartments is a job that has the highest number of work items compared to other types of work items. This study resulted in standardized Work Breakdown Structure, safety risks identification, mitigation risks and the component of safety cost for Architectural Works in Rental Apartments Building Construction Project.

Jordan’s migration towards accrual accounting is aimed at to be completed by year 2021, being as one of its government’s fiscal reform steps. However, this process is not progressing well within the government of Jordan due to the lack of improvement in performance. It is important to prepare the government’s financial personnel for the migration in order to ensure a successful migration process. Moreover, individual readiness factors associated with the acceptance or rejection of migration towards accrual accounting should be considered before the actual migration process takes place. Thus, this research aims to address the influence of social relationships at the workplace and job satisfaction on the readiness of Jordanian government financial personnel to determine their reaction regarding the migration towards accrual accounting. Following the quantitative method, the researcher distributed 375 questionnaires to the government financial personnel working in the Jordanian Ministry of Finance (JMOF), and a total of 331 questionnaires were returned, hence achieving a 88% response rate. The results of the research indicate a positive significant association between social relationships at the workplace/ job satisfaction and the readiness of Jordanian government financial personnel to migrate towards accrual accounting. Several limitations and potential areas for future studies are discussed in the last section of the paper.

Crime by adults may not be so astonishing. This will be different if it is committed by children, especially in relatively serious crimes, such as sexual crimes, murder, robbery, and others. This research focuses on how children learn about crime, which eventually makes them Anak yang Berkonflik dengan Hukum (ABH) – an Indonesian term for Children in conflict with the law – placed in Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) – an Indonesian term for juvenile detention center – of Palembang. This study is based on the assumption that criminal behavior is learned, as stated by Edwin Sutherland in his Differential Association theory. This research uses qualitative perspective to find the depth of the background, actors, life, and the learning processes that influence children to commit crime. The subjects of this study are children in conflict with the law, LPKA officers, and activists of child’s rights. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations to ABH, and extraction of secondary data related to number and type of crime committed by children. Children who are detained in LPKA of Palembang mostly come from lower middle-class families and dropouts. The results of this study show that children learn to commit crime from peer groups, social environment, and mass media. It can be concluded that being selective in choosing peer groups and developing a positive social and family environment can protect children from being involved in crime.

Electrical and electronics is one of the sectors that have led in the process of moving to Industry 4.0 and an important contributor in Malaysia’s economy as it is one of the twelve National Key Economic Area (NKEA) in the country’s Economic Transformation Program (ETP). Globalization era needs human capital resources with competency, competitive and multi-skilled to lead a country to be a developed country. Malaysia is one of developing country in the world that is facing the unemployment issue among engineering graduates. The delayed of education transformation will affect the graduates’ skills developments which can lead to unemployment among them because the demands of today’s industries cannot be met. Many employers admit that our engineering graduates lack in non-technical skills, but they seem fine in technical skills. Industrial training is a platform for students to develop non-technical skills in the real workplace which difficult to be learned in the classroom. All bachelor's engineering students need to undergo industrial training for at least 8 weeks as stated in Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) manual. This paper presents the issues arise and resolutions done by faculty in minimizing the issues. A qualitative study has been done to twelve industrial training coordinators in 8 public and private universities to find the experts' opinions. Many issues have been highlighted with resolutions to minimize the issues. This is very important to assure students can gain valuable industrial training by effectively developing their non-technical skills to meet the industries demands.

This study used a quasi-experimental method, with a non-equivalent post-test control group design. The research sample was taken with simple random techniques. The experimental class and the control class each consisted of 47 students. The experimental class is taught with reciprocal learning models while the controls are traditional learning models. Each class was taken 27% or 26 students from each class as a sample. The sample determination was based on the division of high and low interpersonal intelligence, each of 27% of the total population. So that the total sample as a whole is 52 students. Before being given treatment, the two classes were first given an interpersonal intelligence questionnaire to obtain high and low intelligence data. Data on learning outcomes are obtained through multiple choice form tests. Before use, the questionnaire instrument and the test were first validated by content and constructs by education and psychology experts. then an empirical test is carried out, the result is a validity value of 0.91 and a reliability of 0.93. The research data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential analysis. Hypothesis testing is carried out with 2 way ANOVA. Then the normality and homogeneity tests were carried out as a prerequisite test for the hypothesis test. Furthermore, if there is interaction, further testing is carried out with the HSD test to find out the main effects of the treatment. Data processing results of this study were carried out with the help of the SPSS 20. The results showed that there were differences in student learning outcomes taught by reciprocal and traditional models. Furthermore, there is an interaction between learning models and interpersonal intelligence. Students who have high interpersonal intelligence have better learning outcomes than students who have low interpersonal intelligence. Thus it can be concluded that students who have high interpersonal intelligence taught by reciprocal models have better learning outcomes than students taught with traditional models

Following the United Nation’s pronouncement of 2005-2014 as the Decade for Education for Sustainable Development (DESD), education and particularly Higher Education was earmarked as the most convenient and appropriate vehicle for advancing training and awareness for sustainability and sustainable development. This study reviewed articles to investigate the level of awareness about ESD among engineering stakeholders in Nigeria and also to investigate the various approaches that could be used to integrate Sustainability in Engineering Education curriculum in Nigeria. The study employed a systematic review on Sustainable Development and Sustainability in Engineering Education in Nigeria. Articles on Sustainability Education and Sustainability in Engineering were analyzed using inductive content analysis. The review showed that, there is lack of awareness about ESD even among engineering stakeholders; and approaches such as: modular/ Bolt-in, Project Based Learning (PBL), Integrative Learning, Problem Project Based Learning (PPBL), amongst others were found out to be used by scholars in other parts of the world for incorporating sustainability in their Engineering Education programs. It could be a Stand-alone or an Integrated course. The researcher therefore suggests the use of any of these approaches to institutions and faculties planning to integrate sustainability in their programs. This study recommends that; for sustainable education to yield a meaningful result, Government should create awareness about the need for sustainability in the country. This can be done through Sustainability Education intervention and implementation of Sustainability Policies.

According to Ahmad Rafiki and Kalsom (2014), religion is one of the most influential social institutions that is significantly associated with people’s attitudes, values, and behaviours. In Islam, values are every single thing Allah has prescribed as good, true, and useful. The two main sources and references of Islamic values are al-Quran and Hadith. In the light of faith, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the Islamic values in The Last Laugh. This fiction is written by Kris Jitab in his compilation of short stories entitled ‘Victor’s Last Wish and More Yarns’ published in 2004. The author portrays his literary skills in the form of writing. Since he was born in the setting of place of his short story, Sarawak, he successfully shares his knowledge of the environment, culture, and identity. He combines the emotions of desire, ambition, love, rejection, and self-deception through the characters’ eyes. He is witty and brilliant enough as he signals the dark sides of following the tradition blindly especially when it is harmful towards the society. Hence, travelling through The Last Laugh to highlight the Islamic values will be of a great help to Muslim readers in understanding and digesting the story from the Islamic perspectives

Published: September 2019

Information systems literature has been stuffed with much relating to the determinants of user acceptance, adoption and diffusion through applications of variety of theories such as Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), Model of PC Utilization (MPCU), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM1&2) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The argument here is that such determinants also have their antecedents. For instance, awareness has been used as a determinant to either user intention or behavior towards acceptance, adoption or diffusion but little has been done in examining the determinants of awareness itself. This paper estimates the determinants (gender, age, education, internet experience, size and manual filing experience) of user awareness of new information systems from the perspective of electronic tax filing in Nigeria. Data was collected from the potential users in seven states in Northwestern Nigeria which was analyzed though Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis. It was found that gender, education, internet experience and manual tax filing experience are the significant determinants to user awareness of new information systems while age and size was found to be insignificant. The study contributes to the literature through focusing on an area neglected by previous researchers. It also contributes to the practice as the outcome of the study will be beneficial to policymakers in devising means for enhancing awareness of new information systems prior to actual adoption.

In opening a new route, all airline companies in Indonesia need to get approval from the Ministry of the Transportation Republic of Indonesia. When asking an approval to open a new route, it becomes an important thing and needs careful planning. The national flag carrier of Indonesia, which serves a full-service product to its customers, has plans to open several new domestic and international routes in 2019. Like other Indonesian airlines, it also needs to submit its five-year business plan to get the Air Transport Business Permit (or Surat Izin Usaha Angkutan Udara - SIUAU) from Ministry of Transportation. This paper focuses on several high-frequency domestic routes from/ to Soekarno Hatta International Airport, such as Jakarta – Denpasar, Jakarta – Medan, Jakarta – Semarang, Jakarta – Surabaya, and Jakarta – Yogyakarta. By using both a combination of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods in selecting the most suitable aircraft type, several criteria and alternatives were defined. 6 (six) important criteria in selecting the most suitable aircraft (Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW), Cost per Available Seat Kilometer (CASK), operational performance, delivery time, fleet commonality, and additional benefits) and 4 (four) alternative aircraft types (B737-800NG, B737-8MAX, CRJ1000, and A330-300) that are suitable for those routes were defined. The result shows that the most suitable aircraft for high-frequency domestic routes is B737-800NG, which rank first in fleet commonality, operational performance, and delivery time. Then followed by B737-8MAX, A330-300, and CRJ1000. Thus, this study provides an illustration of aircraft type selection problem solving for known routes, which expectedly could help other airline companies in considering more careful planning in the future.

This paper contains the English Loanwords and their physical mechanism in Pilibhit Hind-Urdu that generalizes the different types of interchanging accounts of phonemes. The purpose of this paper is to present an account of English loanwords and their intervention in Urdu spoken in Pilibhit (U.P.), India within a framework of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky, 1993). The groundwork of this study lead towards basically describe the facts and proposes theoretical account of alteration of phonemes in English Loanwords and how the native speakers of Pilibhit Hindi-Urdu substitute and break consonant cluster and use in communication. There are many conflicts in the intervention of phonemes as deletion, insertion, voicing, devoicing, assimilation, aspiration, deaspiration etc of English loanwords in Pilibhit Hindi-Urdu. We propose that such conflicts can be resolve by using Optimality Theoretic ranking of constraints and find out proper language specific facts expressed with parameters. This not only makes the grammar simpler, but it also allows the lower ranked constraints to have an effect in a non-conflict situation. This paper is about the nature of loanwords and more specially, the proper relationship between phonemes and candidate sets within the framework of Optimality Theory. We shall argue that the phonological information of phoneme is the best encoded in constraints rather than in representations. In this paper we examine some of the better-known arguments originally adduce in support of constraint rankings and argue that adoption of loanwords such a powerful mechanism and justified with proper evidence that create some effective processes at least in the cases discuses. Theoretical insights from OT enrich our understanding of Hindi-Urdu phonology, and data also reveal implicit figure prominently in the latest theoretical developments within OT.
