Authors: Aldosari Mubarak Saad , Abdelmegaly Alaa Ahmed
Published: December 2023

There was found a serious problem in the statistical estimation if we don't reject a false hypothesis because of ignoring prior information about the estimator, constrained principal component model (CPCM) considered to be a general model for many constrained estimator, but this model do not important with the additional information about the error term that found in the restriction model. This paper seeks to find another face for the constrained principal component model that important with the variance of the error term that found in the restriction model and have a value dispute zero.  This paper aims to introduce a generalized ordinary mixed estimator (GOME) using the CPCM which introduced by (Takane, 2014) and we try to find some special cases for this estimator which introduced earlier. The new estimator is more benefit for researchers in making decisions and depending on results that have more credible. We try to get the subset models and their constrained from the constrained principal component model; a model and a constrained model each of them have a variance term that have value despite zero, we also try to make a mixed estimator for each model and combined them to get the GOME and try to find the superiority of the new estimator.

Published: December 2023

This research discusses aimai in Japanese conversational implicature. To avoid conflict and disguise disagreements, Japanese society uses a disguise called aimai. Implicatures occur because of violations of conversational principles. The concept of aimai as part of the culture and norms in communicating in Japanese society is very closely related to the concept of implicature so it is worth discussing. The data source in this research is the film “Kimi ni Todoke”, with data in the form of conversations in the film “Kimi ni Todoke”. The theories used are Grice's theory of cooperation principles, Leech's theory of politeness principles, impicature, and aimai. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with data collection techniques using listening and note-taking techniques, and data analysis using heuristic analysis techniques. The findings are: 1. Conversational implicatures arising from violations of the principle of cooperation are: 1) representative implicatures in the form of stating, showing, refusing, explaining, informing, protecting, avoiding, admitting. 2) directive implicature with the form of ordering. 3) expressive implicatures in the form of teasing, blaming. 4) commissive implicature in the form of promising, defending oneself, trapping. 2. Conversational implicatures that arise from violations of politeness principles are: 1) representative implicatures in the form of showing, explaining, refusing. 2) directive implicatures with the form of forcing, 3) expressive implicatures with the form of criticizing, blaming 4) commissive implicatures with the form of threatening. 3. Aimai is only found in violations of the Quality maxim. The aimai that appear are unfinished sentences, anou, iisashi hyougen, -tari, -shi, -kana, -toka and appear in the implicatures of explaining, teasing, rejecting, protecting, trapping, avoiding, ordering, rejecting.

Published: December 2023

Ngaben for the Balinese people is a form of final respect for those who have died. In practice, many Balinese people complain because it costs a lot. For those who are poor, this Ngaben ceremony is a burden. So, the solution given is by mass cremation, which is a ceremony that is carried out together. By doing it together, costs can be reduced because the costs can be shared together. However, even so, this is also sometimes not free from expensive costs, because, even though they are together, nevertheless, each person who has sawa (dead body) often makes the ceremony excessive, resulting in a contestation. This work descriptively describes the deconstruction strategy that was carried out, namely the implementation was carried out by traditional villages. The money is collected by the traditional village and then the implementation is also carried out by the traditional village. Both the rich and the poor will be treated equally so that the implementation looks uniform. This is of course very beneficial because there are many implications such as togetherness, traditional villages have money and others.

Published: December 2023

This research delves into the multifaceted dynamics that influence the woven fabric output of female songket weavers in Sukarara Village. By examining the roles of age, marital status, and education level, this study provides valuable insights into the factors shaping productivity in the weaving industry. The findings reveal that age significantly impacts weaving output, with older weavers producing less cloth. Marital status plays a crucial role, as married weavers exhibit higher productivity than their unmarried or divorced counterparts. Surprisingly, education level is found to have limited significance in relation to output. These insights contribute to a nuanced understanding of productivity dynamics in the weaving industry and suggest the need for context-specific strategies to empower and support female songket weavers in Sukarara Village.

Authors: Zejnullahu Fakije , Çerkini Bashkim , Shatri Kyvete , Bajraktari Agron
Published: December 2023

e-Government implementation in Kosovo's food processing and agriculture sectors offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, production quality, information access, and transparency. However, e-government's potential does not guarantee user acceptance, and many governments grapple with low adoption rates of e-Gov. This research empirically examines factors influencing citizen adoption of e-government systems in Kosovo's food processing and agriculture sectors. It assesses the e-Government program's development from 2008 to 2023. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key figures from the Information Society Agency (ISA), responsible for e-government in Kosovo. ISA has implemented various services, with 151 community e-Gov services available through the e-Kosova government portal, focusing on online grant and subsidy applications for the food and agriculture sector. The study tests the impact of seven factors in e-Gov adoption: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Compatibility, Observability, Trialability, Image, and Trustworthiness, combining elements from the TAM and DOI. Data collected from 185 respondents, including food producers, farmers, agriculturists, hotels, and university students, utilized a closed-question questionnaire. Results showed significant influence from Perceived Usefulness, Observability, Trialability, and Trustworthiness on citizens' willingness to use e-government services. Understanding these factors is crucial for governments aiming to increase e-government adoption and make informed IT investments for sustainable development.
Effect of Processed Rumen Digesta with Probiotics on Eggs Quality Characteristics of Khaki Campbell Ducks (Anas Platyrhynchos Domesticus)
Authors: Restiadi Tjuk Imam
Published: December 2023

Khaki Campbell is a duck with a dual purpose, as a producer of meat and egg, although its role as laying is more prominent. The aim of the present study is to examine feed ingredients for ducks (poultry) originating from abattoir waste that does not compete with humans. Feed is the largest component that affects poultry production since feed expenses occupy at least 60 - 70% of the production cost. The examined feed ingredient was the rumen digesta of the cow that was collected from the slaughterhouse and it is recommended to participate at 10 - 15% in rations, so as not to cause adverse side effects.  The method of addition of probiotics to the feed of processed cow rumen serves to improve the growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, egg production, and livestock health. Measurements in the form of the amount of raw feed balance with processed rumen digesta substitution feed on the productivity of duck eggs. The conclusion of this study that the partial replacement of processed rumen content feeds up to 15% in Khaki Campbell ducks, did not give a noticeable difference (p>0.05) on egg weight, egg shape index, egg white index, yolk index, Haugh Unit, and egg yolk color. The main finding is that processed beef rumen content at the level of 10-15% can be used as a diet ingredient for ducks without affecting egg quality characteristics.

Authors: Sinaga Sarimonang Beny , Raharjo Agus , Angkasa Angkasa , Ardhanariswari Riris
Published: December 2023

The growing concept of justice has undergone a shift from retributive justice to restorative justice. Indonesia’s Police and Prosecutor's Office have implemented alternative measures for handling criminal cases by adopting restorative justice as a result of the unsatisfactory of the implementation of retributive justice. In 2020, The Prosecutor Office issued a regulation regarding the termination of prosecution based on restorative justice. The Police have also issued a regulation concerning the handling of criminal acts based on restorative justice. However, there are few differences in the approach to restorative justice compared to the aforementioned regulation. The objective of this composition is to assess the legal implications stemming from the disparities in restorative justice regulations as observed within the Police and the Prosecutor's Office and to formulate a model of restorative justice approach that should be implemented in both institutions. The analysis concludes that these divergent provisions concerning restorative justice engender a state of legal ambiguity within the community. Therefore, there is a need for reformulation to harmonize the regulation of restorative justice by incorporating it into the Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP) in order to create a consistent and binding legal framework for all parties involved.

Published: December 2023

The enhancement of the shift in settlement areas in the suburbs of Jakarta is getting out of control. This phenomenon of urban sprawl development has changed the function of open land into built-up land for the construction of new housing infrastructure. This urban sprawl phenomenon will continue along with the escalating number of inhabitants. In addition, the development of residential areas in the outskirts of Jakarta, as happened in the research location in South Jakarta, has social and environmental impacts caused by the high use of groundwater by the community and makes residential areas unsustainable. This paper aims to assess the status of the environment's carrying capacity related to the occurrence of unsustainable settlements and to offer efforts to implement groundwater conservation in residential areas. This study develops a dynamic system model using a feedback approach to obtain the surroundings' carrying capacity status. The feedback approach uses three environmental subsystem models to address sustainable ecological problems: the social-environmental subsystem, the built environment subsystem, and the natural environment subsystem. The variables affecting the simulation system are the community's water needs, land conversion, and groundwater availability. The study's findings indicate that when it begins in 2070, the status of the environmental carrying capacity at the research location will be experiencing a severe water deficit, resulting in groundwater scarcity. Based on the scenario results, several policies can have a positive influence on increasing the status of environmental carrying capacity so that they can assist decision-makers in implementing groundwater conservation policies.

Studying how ecotherapy affects school performance for Saudi Arabian kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the major focus of this research. This study focuses at ecotherapy interventions and their potential impact on academic outcomes. The current research hopes to learn more about the impact of age as a moderator and the function of ADHD symptom severity as a mediator in this setting. The results of this research support the claim that ecotherapy improves learning outcomes in classroom settings. The association between these two factors is also shown to be affected by differences in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, as the research shows. The significance of recognizing the differences in ecotherapy's efficacy across age groups, and of using treatments that are customized to suit the individual requirements of each age group, cannot be overstated. Results like these highlight ecotherapy's promise as a comprehensive, nature-focused approach to improving children with ADHD's academic and mental health.

Published: December 2023

Competency model is a tool designed for assessing the quality standards of effective educational leaders in school. However, the validity and reliability of the competency model using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has not been studied extensively. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the usability of the competency model of middle leaders in primary school in Malaysia through EFA. This study employed a qualitative approach using a survey method with the use of a questionnaire as the instrument of the study. The study instrument contains four constructs namely Leadership, Instructional, Governance and Self-Emotion with a total of 90 items collectively. A total of 179 respondents participated in this pilot study. The validity and reliability of the instrument were obtained through descriptive analysis of Cronbach\'s Alpha reliability and EFA using SPSS software. The overall analysis showed that 68 items met the appropriateness of EFA with a KMO value of more than 0.6, and the value of Bartlett\'s test is significant, eigenvalue is greater than 1.0 at percentage of variance greater than 60 percent. The remaining 22 items were dropped. The value of Cronbach\'s Alpha coefficient is more than 0.70 for all four main constructs of the study. The findings show that the research instrument has high validity and reliability and has the potential to be used as a guide in the development of middle leader competency in schools. Furthermore, the findings are also able to make a positive impact to achieve the fifth shift in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 aspirations
THE ASSOSIATION OF CHEMICAL SOIL PROPERTIES ON EVAPOTRANSPIRATION RATE EVALUATION
Authors: Eso Rosliana
Published: December 2023

We examine the evapotranspiration (ET) process and some chemical and physical properties of soil, such as soil salinity, soil hydraulic (SH), soil texture, soil electrical (SE), and soil mineral, to explain the relationship between the atmosphere and the soil degradation processes. The result reveals that, in the two stations observed, the difference between ET and precipitation value, even though they are very close, does not have a significant correlation. The remarkable complexity of the soil resulted in a higher value on the SE, CEC and SH in station A, whereas it had a low ET value, and the opposite result occurred at station B. The mineral content of the soil in station A was dominated by Kaolinite while in station B it was dominated by Montmorilonite; however, their salinity level was low. This study provided varying content of chemical elements in the two stations observable, such as Si, Al, Ca, Fe, Ti, Na, S, Mn, Co, P, Mg, K, Cr, Re, Cu, Ni, V, Yb, and Sc, even though they have an irregular pattern. The unique find that the abundance of the rear earth element elements like Eu, Yb and Sc in station A may be due to its low ET value. This information directly related the impact of the soil properties to the ET value and reveals that radiation, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and plant characteristics were not the only parameters to be taken into account in determining the ET rate.

Published: December 2023

This paper explores the impact of resources on teaching and learning of English Language of learners with visual impairment at ‘O’ Level in an inclusive set-up. It identifies various strategies necessary to improve the performance of learners with visual impairment in English Language. A qualitative approach was adopted. Fifteen learners and four teachers were purposively selected for the study. Thematic data analysis was used. The findings revealed that there is a shortage of teaching and learning resources from Musimeki High schools which include Braille books, Braille computers, tape recorders, audiobooks and DVDs. Supplementary reading materials in Braille, such as novels, magazines and newspapers are also not available. Inclusivity has an advantage in that sighted learners read for the VI on printed books since there are no Braille books and on computers, since schools do not have computers with jaws software. The sighted also assisted during group work tasks since they have access to supplementary reading materials. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is recommended to liaise with press organisations to put  information in newspapers and magazines in brailed. Press organisations are recommended to employ VI school leavers without jobs to do braille work.

Published: December 2023

The goal of this qualitative study is to investigate Namibian users’ language practices in social discourses on Namibian social media platforms. A hybrid linguistic environment is created when users using multiple languages online.  However, there appear to be no studies that look at the language practices of users on Namibian social platforms online. The sample consisted of Facebook comments from users in responses to articles on the Fishrot case published in 2019. The first five posts published in each of the selected Namibian media were chosen, and comments in which users directly responded to each other's were studied using internet ethnography, which tracks discourses across multiple online user comments. Discourse analysis was used as a method to analyse the data. Other sources on languages and multilingualism in Namibia were also used to inform the data. The data was organised under emerging themes that were informed by the central ideas in metrolingualism theory. According to the study, the language of socialization in Namibia remains primarily English; multilingualism is reflected in social online discussion but is limited to a few majority indigenous languages, Oshiwambo and Afrikaans.

Perspectives on complex click consonants of Khoekhoegowab
Authors: Fredericks Niklaas , Banda Felix
Published: December 2023

The paper offers an alternative way of describing what is called complex click consonants in Khoesan languages. Using data obtained from key informants and focused groups from the Karas, Hardap and the Kunene regions of Namibia as well as relevant literature we argue that co-articulated clicks should be treated as one sound represented by one grapheme. We argue that plain clicks in Khoekhoegowab are not glotalised as perceived because the glotalisation comes from the accompanying vowel. Using articulatory, acoustic and auditory phonetics we also problematize the notion of ‘complexity’ in the click complexes by showing that these click consonants play the same morphophonological role as consonants found in non-click languages. Thereafter the implications of this for cluster and unitary analysis are also discussed.

Published: December 2023

The current paper analyzed articles on the COVID-19 vaccine as reported and communicated by Namibian newspapers in order to understand the vocabulary, expressions and information sources used by the selected Namibian newspapers when covering and disseminating the COVID-19 vaccine related information. The purpose of this article was to analyze the COVID-19 vaccine information as reported and communicated by Namibian newspapers. The researchers compiled a database of newspaper articles mentioning the COVID-19 vaccine from two local newspapers, The Namibian and the New era, between January and June 2021. In total, 14 articles from the two newspapers were purposefully selected. The articles were analyzed using content analysis. The findings of the current study contributes to the timely needed informed discussion on issues surrounding COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccines specifically. The study concludes that there is (urgent) need for the Ministry of Health and Social Services to be consistent in issuing hands on statements timeously to the public at every step of the crisis/pandemic development.  This should also be done in local languages to ensure that the public is not confused and misinformed by conspiracies, propaganda, fake news and unverified information.
Wie lange dauert eine Autobahndemo?
Authors: Krüßmann Jannis
Published: December 2023

Bei versammlungsrechtlichen Eilanträgen müssen Verwaltungsgerichte in kurzer Zeit komplexe Sachverhalte gerechten Lösungen zuführen – dies gilt in besonderer Weise bei Versammlungen auf Autobahnen. Oftmals entscheidendes Kriterium ist dabei, für welchen Zeitraum eine Autobahn für eine Versammlung gesperrt werden müsste. Angesichts dieser Frage wirken viele Verwaltungsgerichte häufig seltsam hilflos und übernehmen die behördlichen Gefahrenprognosen allzu unkritisch, was zu voreiligen Verboten von Versammlungen auf Autobahnen führt. Tatsächliche Evidenz wird dabei kaum berücksichtigt, auch weil sie kaum vorhanden ist. Zeit, dass sich das ändert.

Pengujian usability dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang terdiri dari 12 pertanyaan; berdasarkan jawaban dari 25 responden, sistem mendapatkan nilai yang baik. Pengujian efficiency menggunakan GTMetrix, yang dimana sistem memperoleh performance sebesar 98%, structure sebesar 96% dan  page load sebesar 3,9 detik. Selanjutnya, penyelidikan ini menggunakan uji asumsi klasik: normalitas, linieritas dan uji t. Instrumen pengujian normalitas  menunjukkan taraf signifikansi untuk nilai pretest sebesar 0,034 dan nilai posttest sebesar 0,009 keduanya lebih besar dari α = 0,005 (sign. > 0,005), yang menunjukkan bahwa Ho diterima. Pengujian linieritas menunjukkan ada hubungan linear secara signifikan antara variabel independent dan variabel dependent, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh pengujian linieritas, dengan taraf signifikansi 0,797. Setelah uji t nilai menunjukkan taraf signifikansi 0,000 < 0,005, maka dapat disimpulkan ada perbedaan rata-rata hasil belajar siswa untuk nilai pretest dan posttest.

Kelurahan Loktuan merupakan instansi dari pemerintah yang bergerak di bidang pelayanan kependudukan yang dimana dalam pelayanannya harus meningkatkan kepuasaan masyarakat. Saat ini Kantor Kelurahan Loktuan masih melakukan pengaduan dimana masyarakat mendatangi Kantor Kelurahan dan mengisi formulir pengaduan. Terkadang pengaduan data tidak terekap dengan baik serta pengaduan yang seharusnya ditindaklanjuti tidak ditangani dengan baik. Maka penulis membuat aplikasi pengaduan masyarakat (SIPEKA) berbasis website. Dimana aplikasi SIPEKA menggunakan metode prototype yang dalam metode tersebut memiliki beberapa tahapan yaitu tahap pengumpulan, tahap membangun prototyping , tahap evaluasi prototyping , tahap mengkodekan sistem, tahap pengujian sistem, tahap evaluasi sistem dan tahap penggunaan sistem. Pada aplikasi ini framework PHP yang digunakan adalah laravel, dimana laravel merupakan framework web yang open-source dan tidak berbayar. Diagram yang digunakan dalam perancangan aplikasi pengaduan adalah Unified Modeling Language (UML). Metode pengujian blackbox menjadi pengujian sistem pada aplikasi ini dimana pengujian hanya dilakukan dengan mengamati hasil eksekusi melalui pengujian data dan pemeriksaan fungsional dari perangkat lunak. Dengan adanya aplikasi ini, diharapkan mampu memudahkan staf kelurahan dalam melakukan penghitungan data yang dilampirkan oleh masyarakat untuk melakukan pengaduan serta memberikan kemudahan akses kepada masyarakat dalam melaporkan pengaduan yang dapat dilakukan secara online .

Aparat desa sangat penting dalam sebuah instansi khususnya di Pemerintah Desa Djela Manu. Ini karena dalam kantor Desa Djela Manu belum memiliki aparat desa yang tetap. Kepala Desa Djela Manu sangat kesulitan dalam menyeleksi calon aparat desa dikarenakan belum memiliki sebuah aplikasi yang mendukung. Maka dari itu, peneliti ingin membantu dengan melakukan sebuah aplikasi sistem pendukung keputusan penentuan calon aparat desa dengan menggunakan metode Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Dimana metode SAW merupakan salah satu metode yang di gunakan dalam prose pengambilan suatu keputusan. Perhitungan dari metode ini merupakan penjumlahan bobot tertinggi sebagai nilai rangking.

Oleh karena itu, dari hasil penerapan metode SAW dalam penentuan calon aparat desa dapat di jalankan sesuai dengan hasil pengujian yang di lakukan dengan beberapa tahap sehingga dapat di simpulkan bahwa aplikasi ini sangat sesuai dan sangat mudah dipahami serta memudahkan Kepala Desa melihat hasil nilai dan perangkingan. Dari hasil tersebut, Kepala Desa dapat membuat keputusan dan melakukan penetapan calon aparat desa dengan cepat, tepat dan akurat sesuai dengan kriteria-kriteria yang di masukan ke dalam aplikasi tersebut.

Penyakit TBC atau Tuberkulosis adalah suatu penyakit bakteri menular yang berpotensi serius yang terutama mempengaruhi paru-paru. Penyakti TBC ini disebabkan karena bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis yang menyerang paru-paru. Penularan penyakit ini terjadi ketika seseorang menghirup udara yang terkontaminasi bakteri tersebut. Bakteri tersebut dikeluarkan oleh penderita TBC saat batuk dan bersin dalam bentuk percikan lender. Banyak orang yang tidak mengetahui penularan secara dini, maka diperoleh seorang pakar yang dibuatkan dalam sebuah aplikasi komputer yang bersifat kecerdasan buatan manusia. Sistem pakar yang dibangun berfungsi untuk mempermudah masyarakat atau penderita mengetahui sejak dini penyakit yang diderita. Dimana dalam membangun aplikasi ini menggunakan metode Certainty Factor (CF) yang dapat mendefenisikan ukuran kepastian terhadap suatu aturan.  Dari hasil pengujian sistem dinyatakan bahwa dapat diterima sesuai dengan harapan yang ada.

Dosen pembimbing merupakan salah salah satu tugas  untuk seorang mahasiswa sangatlah penting karena berperan sebagai pengarah, fasilitator, serta memberikan motivasi. Penentuan dosen pembimbing dan penguji pada Jurusan Manajemen Informatika dan Teknik Infomatika masih dilakukan melalui rapat internal jurusan. Hal tersebut kurang efektif dan efisien mengingat jumlah mahasiswa yang mengajukan tugas akhir sangat banyak, judul tugas akhir mahasiswa yang sangat beragam, serta dosen pembimbing dan penguji dengan kompetensi yang berbeda-beda. Proses diskusi ini memakan waktu yang cukup lama sehingga mekanisme seperti ini kurang efisien terhadap waktu. Maka dari itu, peneliti ingin membuat sebuah aplikasi yang dapat membantu dan mengatasi permasalahan yang di hadapi dengan pembuatan sebuah website tentang sistem pemberian rekomendasi penentuan dosen pembimbing dengan penerapan metode Weighted Product (WP). Sistem ini mampu mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi dengan beberapa tahapan yang telah dilakukan dari pengujian sampai dengan implementasi program dengan cepat, mudah dan akurat.
