Authors: S Fipiariny
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the influence of the role, ethics, and independence of internal auditors in implementing good university governance (GUG) with leadership style as a moderation variable. Multiple linear regression and moderation regression analysis models are used to test the hypothesis. The primary data are obtained through questionnaires that are distributed to the respondents, namely the dean and head of study program at the UniversitasBinaDarma and UniversitasMuhammadiyahPalembang. The results of this study indicate that the instruments in each variable proved to be valid and reliable. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it can be seen that simultaneously the variable of role, ethics, and independence of internal auditors have positively and significantly effect in implementing good university governance (GUG). These results provide justification or endorsement of the theoretical truths used as the theoretical references of Stewardship Theory and Attitude and Behavioral Theory. Based on the partial test, role of auditor does not significantly affect the variable of GUG, but ethics and independence variable are found to be significant in influencing GUG. The leadership style is negative and insignificant in moderating the role of internal auditors and GUC and also the independence of internal auditor and GUC. The leadership style is found to be positive and insignificant in moderating the relationship of internal auditors’ ethics and GUC.

Published: October 2019

The study investigates the relationship between the labor force participation rate for both male and female, gross fixed capital formation, and economic growth in Bangladesh using the annual time series data from 1991 to 2017. The results find two bidirectional nexus that one is between total labor force participation and economic growth and second is between gross fixed capital formations and economic growth whereas the findings also show a unidirectional causal association from female labor force participation to economic progress for Bangladesh. The study also finds that both total labor force participation and female labor force participation have short-run positive significant effects on the economic development for Bangladesh but adverse effects in the long run. On the contrary gross fixed capital formation contains short term significant negative indication on the economic growth but has an explicit positive considerable impact on the economic development of Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh needs to give more importance in technical education format that will produce more skilled labor.

Published: October 2019

All students have to face academic pressures, setbacks and challenges that are part of their everyday academic life. The capacity to deal with this, i.e. ‘academic buoyancy’, is needed to reduce the impact of academic adversity. Since academic buoyancy may be associated with personality, our study explored the role of personality trait, especially the ‘big five’, as predictors of the academic buoyancy in senior high school students in an Eastern culture. Methods: Using quota sampling, 356 respondents were sampled from the eight largest senior high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. Five personality factors were measured using the Big Five Inventory. Furthermore, academic buoyancy was assessed utilizing the Academic Buoyancy Scale. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the predictive value of each trait for academic buoyancy. Result: Academic buoyancy appears to be related to personality differences. We found three personality traits which predicted positively and signiﬁcantly academic buoyancy, namely Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Extraversion. Conclusions: The study has provided a new understanding of the relevance of personality for academic student’s life. Implications and differences in relation between personality and academic buoyancy in senior high school’ student are discussed.

Published: October 2019

Biomass-based energy from agricultural wastes is a promising alternative energy source since its abundant supply and renewable. Biomass is converted into gas and liquid fuel through biochemical or thermochemical treatments. In this work, oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and rice husk are pyrolyzed to produce gas and liquid fuel. The reactor temperature and feed mass are varied to obtain the best operating condition in a semi-batch pyrolysis reactor. The experimental results showed that the best operating temperature in pyrolysis process to produce bio-oils from OPEFB and rice husk was at 500 °C with 4.3 % (w/w) and 2.6 % (w/w) of bio-oil yields, respectively. The pyrolysis product distribution and their chemical composition are strongly affected by operating condition and the types of biomass. The GC-MS analysis results showed that the primary pyrolysis products components consist of hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds such as carboxylic acids, phenols, ketones and aldehydes. Thermodynamic properties such as thermal conductivity of the biomass also influenced the product distribution of the biomass pyrolysis.
E-mobile Acceptance Using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT): Research on Universities in Jordan
Authors: Al-Zoubi Saleem Issa , Ali Maaruf
Published: October 2019

An investigation into the variables that have a bearing on the acceptance of D-learning (Digital-learning) services such as E-learning and M-learning, in Jordanian universities is presented. This is followed with a discussion on modernising M-learning with emerging technologies. The study fuses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (“UTAUT”) model with the cultural paradigm and educational variables. 100 valid questionnaires distributed to random Jordanian students in two cities were used to collect the primary data. The IBM SPSS® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software platform was used to analyse the data. The validity of the overall model was proven statistically with an acceptable fit of the data to the measurement model. The findings show that the factor with the highest direct effect on “Intention to use M-learning” is the “Attitude toward using M-learning”. Whilst the factor with the highest indirect effect on “Intention to use M-learning” is “Compatibility”. The conclusions are that the: cultural factor has a significant and positive impact on the “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use”. “Perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use” have the greater impact on the “customers’ attitude”, which consequently influences the students’ “intention to use M-learning services”. The findings also indicate that educational variables such as the attainment value, self-management of learning and the perceived enjoyment significantly affected M-learning adoption intention. Emerging technologies such as the Cloud, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the Blockchain and how they may be utilised to enhance the delivery of M-learning is discussed throughout the paper.

Published: October 2019

After the outbreak of the civil war in Syria, Turkey undertook a prominent role by becoming the leading host country for Syrian refugees. The volume of the flow and the urgency of the refugees’ situation have necessitated the involvement of several actors apart from the state. This study reveals and discusses the role of non-state actors in managing refugees through a field study on Syrians in the Turkish city of Mersin. The role of non-state actors in this process is analysed by discussing and presenting (i) their profiles, (ii) the major types of activities and services that they provide for refugees and; (iii) their contribution to integrating Syrians in Turkey.

Review of chelid and emydid turtle distributions in southern South America with emphasis on extralimital populations and new records for Argentina
Authors: Sanchez Rocio
Published: October 2019

There are many cases of animals reported in localities away from natural areas of distribution for the species. With respect to native freshwater turtles of Argentina and bordering countries, several populations (and single specimens) were reported for areas that cast doubts about their origin, due to not only the long distance from other known localities but also the geographical barriers that are in between. The present work provides a review of localities of the native turtle species Hydromedusa tectifera, Phrynops hilarii, Acanthochelys pallidipectoris, A. spixii and Trachemys dorbigni in Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and adds new records for some of these species for Argentina. We also employ an analysis to recognise core and extralimital populations, and a methodology based on five criteria that must be taken into account to elucidate if one extralimital turtle record is the result of anthropogenic action or a case of natural occurrence. Finally, we discuss about the origin of extralimital reports of turtles of the mentioned species.
First observations on cave breeding in Salamandra algira splendens from north-eastern Morocco
Authors: Hernandez Axel
Published: October 2019

Two Moroccan subspecies of Salamandra algira were recently observed in caves - S. algira splendens and S. algira spelaea. Here, I report the first observations of cave breeding in S. algira splendens, in the Chaâra and Friouato caves of the north-eastern Middle Atlas (Taza region, Morocco). Twenty-two salamander and newt species are known to be facultative or
obligate cave-dwellers in the Mediterranean ecoregion. They can inhabit or breed in caves so avoiding hot and very dry summer conditions. Caves with groundwater and stable humidity act as thermal refugia, winter or summer shelters, hiding places, feeding areas or, in some cases, as regular breeding sites.
Microhabitat preference of the critically endangered golden mantella frog in Madagascar
Authors: Edwards Wayne
Published: October 2019

The golden mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) is a critically endangered (CR) frog, endemic to the eastern rainforestsof Madagascar. Although the species is very popular in the pet trade and widely bred in captivity, its specific habitat requirements in the wild are poorly understood. Ten forested sites in the Moramanga district of Madagascar were surveyed for microhabitat and environmental variables, and the presence or absence of golden mantellas in quadrats positioned along transects in the vicinity of breeding sites. Mixed models were used to determine which variables best explained microhabitat use by golden mantellas. Sites where golden mantellas were found tended to have surface temperatures of 20-23 ˚C, UVI units at about 2.9, about 30 % canopy cover, and around 30 % herbaceous cover. Within sites, golden mantellas preferred microhabitats that had 70 % leaf litter coverage and relatively low numbers of tree roots. This information can be used to improve the identification and management of habitats in the wild, as well as to refine captive husbandry needs.

Published: October 2019

The experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to investigate the influence of organic and inorganic fertilizers with irrigation intervals on the growth and yield of carrot during November, 2016 to March, 2017. Different days interval irrigation were applied namely no irrigation (I0), 7 days interval (I7), 15 days interval (I15) and 30 days interval (I30). Organic and inorganic fertilizers were given as treatments like control (no fertilizer) (F0), vermicompost (F1), mixed fertilizer (2/3 vermicompost + 1/3 inorganic fertilizer) (F2), inorganic fertilizer (F3). The experiment was laid out in RCBD (randomized complete block design) with three replications. Irrigation interval treatments showed significant influence on growth and yield related parameters of carrot. Plant height, other growth related parameters and yield were found significantly different considering the effect of irrigation and fertilizers treatments. Considering the effect of irrigation, the highest and the lowest plant height was obtained 45.35 cm and 39.77 cm from 7 days interval irrigation and control, respectively. The highest marketable yield (42.47 t/ha) was found from 7 days irrigation interval and it was 27.40% higher compared to control (30.83 t/ha). Mixed of organic and inorganic fertilizer (F2) gave the highest plant height (47.58 cm) and the lowest plant height (35.08 cm) was found from the control treatment. Gross yield and marketable yield per hectare were higher 21.21% and 22.03% in F2 compared to control treatment. Considering the treatment combination, irrigation at 7 days interval with mixed fertilizer (I7F2) produced the highest plant height (50.42 cm), number of leaves (11.67), diameter of root (3.90 cm), length of root (23.20 cm), fresh weight of individual root (106.20 g), gross yield (53.66 t/ha) and marketable yield (46.91 t/ha). The lowest plant height (32.75 cm), number of leaves (7.83), diameter of root (3.10 cm), length of root (13.00 cm), fresh weight of individual root (65.00 g), gross yield (32.00 t/ha) and marketable yield (26.72 t/ha) were found from the treatment combination of no irrigation with no fertilizer (I0F0). Gross yield and marketable yield per hectare were 40.37% and 43.04% higher, respectively in irrigation at 7 days interval with mixed fertilizer than other treatments combination. Irrigation interval at 7 days with mixed fertilizer had the most positive effect for the production of carrot.

Selecting the most effective plant growth-promoting bacteria from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) roots
Authors: Zakry FAA , Ammal P. , Malahubban M. , Faridah A. R. , Umar A.H.M.
Published: October 2019

A total of 30 bacterial isolates were isolated from soil, rhizoplane, and internal tissue of oil palm roots. The isolates were qualitatively tested for their potential to fix N2, solubilize inorganic P and K, and produce phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid. Of the 30 isolates, six isolates were able to exhibit multiple beneficial traits. All six isolates were then identified based on fatty acid methyl esters profile as Escherichia coli strain EX2, Serratia sp. strain EN1, Pantoea ananatis strain EN3, Bacillus sp. strain EN5, Pantoea ananatis strain EN8 and Pantoea sp. strain EN9. Subsequently, all shortlisted isolates were evaluated for plant growth-promoting potential by using shallot as a test plant. The plant test showed no significant difference (p>0.05) between inoculated and uninoculated plants except for Pantoea sp. strain EN9 inoculation which increased significantly (p<0.05) total root length over uninoculated control. Host specificity and IAA capacity of the isolates may be among the important factors affecting their effectiveness in plant growth promotion.

Horizontal and vertical emissions of methane from peat soils
Authors: Jeffary A.V. , Ahmed O.H. , Heng R.K.J. , Choo L.N.L.K.
Published: October 2019

Methane emission depends on the rates of methane production, consumption and ability of soil and plants to transport the gas to the soil surface and also within soil particles. The objective of this study was to determine CH4 fluxes horizontally and vertically from the floor and wall of the pit of a tropical peat soil. The horizontal emissions in the dry and wet seasons were 2.96 t CH4 ha-1yr-1 and 4.27 t CH4 ha-1yr-1, respectively and the vertical emissions were 0.36 t CH4 ha-1yr-1 and 0.51 t CH4 ha-1yr-1, respectively. The total amount of the horizontal and vertical emissions in the dry and wet seasons were 3.32 t CH4 ha-1yr-1 and 4.78 t CH4 ha-1yr-1, respectively. Horizontal emission was higher in the wet season due to an increase in the water table which resulted in an increase of CH4 emission. Thus, there is a need for direct CH4 measurement from cultivated peat soils to ensure that CH4 emission is neither underestimated nor overestimated.

Authors: Ali Bwala Madu , Garba Yaru Abdulhamid , Alani Wasiu
Published: October 2019

This study assessed the value chain of shea in Niger State, Nigeria. One hundred and forty respondents were selected through a multistage random technique. Data were analyzed using value addition method and descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that there are four key players in the shea value chain, namely the sole picker, the processor/picker, butter marketer and the retailer. Regarding value addition, it was found that the sole picker adds a value of ₦250 (3.10%), the local processor, adds a value of ₦1550 (19.38%), the shea butter marketer adds ₦600 (7.70%) and the retailer adds a value of ₦5600 (70%). Furthermore, findings revealed that the retailer has the highest margin of ₦3460 (70.47%) while the processor has a margin of ₦1050 (21.38%). The sole picker has the lowest margin of ₦150 among players in the chain. However, findings reveal that, the picker has a higher margin when he doubles as a processor. Since majority of the pickers and processors are women, empowerment of the female gender can be enhanced through interventions in the shea value chain. Therefore, this study recommends a gender-based study of the shea value chain in the study area which will further reveal potentialities for empowering women and the household in the study area. Furthermore, to give leverage to the sole picker in terms of the size of market margin attracted, it may be expedient to empower the sole picker to get involved in the processing of the nuts.

Published: October 2019

Edible crabs constitute one of the major sources of nutritious food for human nutrition. The study was aimed to examine the protein, amino acid and fatty acid compositions of two edible crabs (Callinectes amnicola and Portunus validus) of Lagos coast, Nigeria. Samples were obtained from the water body, transported in crushed iced insulated containers and analyzed in the laboratory using standard methods. Crude protein varied from 55 - 68.92% (C. amnicola) and 51.9 - 67.51% (P. validus) on dry matter basis. Leucine (8.63 - 9.73g/100 g crude protein) and glutamic acid (12.71 - 16.19g/100 g crude protein) were the highest concentrated essential and non-essential amino acids, respectively. The coefficient of variation of the amino acid values indicated that C. amnicola has more variations, relative to its mean. The most concentrated saturated fatty acid was palmitic acid in the samples with significantly different (P <0.05) values of 14.32±1.05% (C. amnicola) and 24.52±0.00% (P. validus). With the exception of lauric, arachidic and lignoceric, all saturated fatty acids were more concentrated in P. validus than in C. amnicola. Oleic acid among the monounsaturated fatty acids occupied the highest position in C. amnicola (17.6233±0.04%) and in P. validus (12.4682±0.25%); whereas timnodenic acid was the most concentrated among the polyunsaturated fatty acids, with values of 23.9744±0.48 % (C. amnicola) and 15.7234±0.25 % (P. validus). Both species have reasonable levels of dietary protein and lipid quality.

Published: October 2019

For value addition, only developing different products from fish muscle /mince is not enough, as maintenance of proper storage condition to keep the sensory attributes in acceptable range and marketing of the developed products very important. Therefore, the study was carried out to observe the changes in sensory attributes of fish condiment prepared from Thai pangus mince, stored at different temperatures. In the development of product and different analysis standard procedures were followed with some modification in the processes. In this study, a detailed survey on consumers’ preference to fish condiment was done at Kamal-Ranjit Market of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Kewatkhali, Mymensingh town and Faculty of Fisheries (BAU). This study revealed that the sensory attributes of fish condiment decrease throughout the storage period irrespective of storage temperatures (room temperature, 28°C to 32°C; refrigeration temperature, 5°C to 8°C and frozen temperature, -18°C to -20°C). At low temperatures, this product may remain in acceptable condition for more than 120 days. The consumers’ preference study showed that most of the respondents liked fish condiment and also they showed their interest to buy from shop and shop owners showed interest to sell this product. The average price offered by the consumers for the fish condiment was 18.52 taka and by the shopkeepers, 19.51 taka for 10g of condiment in each pack; which were much higher than the production cost. The cost profit analysis showed that the margin of profit for the fish condiment was 35.14%.

Management of Soil Resources for Sustainable Development under a Changing Climate
Authors: Jahangir MMR , Jahan I , Mumu NJ
Published: October 2019

Development was conventionally driven by one particular need, without fully considering the wider or future impacts. This kind of approach has now been considered to be responsible for the economic and environmental catastrophes that humans are facing: from large scale financial crises caused by irresponsible banking to the changes in global climate resulting from our dependence on fossil fuel based energy sources. Soils provide essential ecosystem services such as primary production, regulation of biogeochemical cycles (with consequences for the climate), water filtration, resistance to diseases and pests, and regulation of above-ground biodiversity. Changing of the climate systems is unequivocal. Adaptation to global climate change through improved soil quality by adoption of improved management practices is key to maintaining sustainable agricultural production. A holistic approach to soil management as the engine for increasing productivity by increasing resource use efficiency and making agriculture environmentally compatible is more important than ever before. Strategies of greenhouse gas emission reduction include those that increase the use efficiency of inputs. Herein, we discussed how management and protection of soil resources can contribute to sustainable development through sustainable agricultural production while maintaining sustenance of soil fertility.

Published: October 2019

Drought is an extended period when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) method was used in this study to analyze drought. Northern region of Bangladesh was the area of study. Monthly rainfall data of northern region of Bangladesh was obtained from the Meteorological Department of Bangladesh. Obtained rainfall data was from 1991 to 2011 and values from 2012 to 2026 were generated using Markov model. Then SPI values from 1991 to 2026 were calculated by using SPI formula for analyzing drought. Analysis with SPI method showed that droughts in northern region of Bangladesh varied from moderately dry to severely dry conditions and it may vary from moderately dry to severely dry conditions normally in future but in some cases extreme drought may also take place. From the study, it is observed that the northern region of Bangladesh has already experienced severe drought in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010. The region may experience severe drought in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and extreme drought in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2023 and 2024.

Authors: Nguyen Duc Hien , Trinh Quang Hung , Bui Huong Giang
Published: October 2019

In this research, we consider a well-known behavioral bias of financial market participants, the anchoring and adjustment bias described by Tversky and Kahneman (1974). Empirical findings have shown that this heuristic has significant economic consequences for the efficiency of the financial market of Vietnam. Specifically, we investigate the existence of anchoring and adjustment bias when stock analysts forecast future earnings of a firm by examining 661 analysts’ reports forecasting prices in Vietnam from 2009 - 2012. In addition, we find that anchoring and adjustment bias appears to have considerable influence over both male and female analysts. With the multi-variable regression model, we find out the effects of anchoring and adjustment bias on different group of analysts as well as the time horizon.
The Creation of the Modern Individual in Modern Korean Literature: Kim Tong-in’s Novella Mau˘m i yo˘t’un chayo˘ (A Person with a Weak Heart, 1919–1920)
Authors: Choi Min Koo
Published: October 2019

Kim Tong-in (1900–1951) strove to not only refine the form of the modern novel but also to create a new type of modern individual character. This paper examines Kim Tong-in’s novella Maŭm i yŏt’un chayŏ (A Person with a Weak Heart, 1919–1920), which draws on the modern Korean intellectual’s self-portrait of the inner self engaged in the pursuit of modern love. Through the analysis of Kim Tong-in’s novella, this paper will argue that the characterization of the modern individual as a superfluous man alienated from society and confined to his inner subject is a manifestation of the ambivalent status of the modern Korean intellectual in colonial Korea.

Agronomic Comparisons of Organic and Conventional Soybean with Recommended and High Inputs during the First 4 Years of Organic Management
Authors: Cox William , Cherney Jerome , Sorrells Mark
Published: October 2019

Organic soybean hectares will increase in the Northeast United States of America (USA) because of demand by the expanding organic dairy industry. We evaluated organic and conventional soybean with recommended and high inputs (high seeding rate + organic seed treatment in organic system) from 2015 to 2018 in New York, USA to determine if high input management could reduce the yield penalty in organic soybean. Organic compared with conventional soybean yielded similarly in 2015 and 2016 but ≈ 11% lower in 2017 and 2018. Organic compared with conventional soybean had similar early and harvest plant densities in 2017 but lower early and harvest plant densities in 2018 when both densities correlated with yield (r = 0.33 and 0.36, respectively). Weed densities in organic soybean were low (<0.77 weeds/m2 in all years). Nevertheless, organic compared with conventional soybean in 3 of 4 years had greater weed densities, which had significant negative correlations with yield in 2015 (r = −0.36), 2017 (r = −0.53) and 2018 (r = −0.36). Organic compared with conventional soybean mostly had fewer pods/plant and greater seed weight but yield components showed no consistent correlations with yield. Organic soybean had similar weed densities and yield with recommended and high input management in all years indicating that growers should probably plant organic soybean at recommended seeding rates (370,500 seeds/ha) during the first 4 years of organic production under similar environmental conditions of this study.
Thermal and Catalytic Cracking of Toluene Using Char from Commercial Gasification Systems
Authors: Cordioli Eleonora , Patuzzi Francesco , Baratieri Marco
Published: October 2019

Tar formation hinders the development of biomass gasification technologies. The use of pyrolytic char as a catalyst for removing tar has been widely investigated; its large specific surface area and pores distribution make it a good candidate for the cracking of heavy hydrocarbons. The present work assesses the catalytic activity of char from a commercial gasifier. Thermal degradation tests in N2 and in CO2 proved that the char is suitable for high-temperature applications (catalytic cracking) and showed release of CO and H2, which might affect the catalytic performance of the char when used for tar removal applications. For inspecting the potential of the char for tar removal, toluene was chosen as model tar. Through GC-FID, toluene removal efficiency and the amount of benzene produced from its decomposition were evaluated. Tests up to 1273 K resulted in tar removal efficiencies as high as 99.0%, and empty reactor tests allowed for discerning the effects of thermal and catalytic cracking. The catalytic activity of the char was more pronounced at 1173 K, as char increased the toluene removal efficiency from 39.9% (empty reactor) to 60.3%. The results confirmed that gasification char, like pyrolytic char, has a high potential for catalytic tar removal applications.
An Efficient Strategy to Deliver Understanding of Both Numerical and Practical Aspects When Using Navier-Stokes Equations to Solve Fluid Mechanics Problems
Authors: Adair Desmond , Jaeger Martin
Published: October 2019

An efficient and thorough strategy to introduce undergraduate students to a numerical approach of calculating flow is outlined. First, the basic steps, especially discretization, involved when solving Navier-Stokes equations using a finite-volume method for incompressible steady-state flow are developed with the main aim being for the students to follow through from the mathematical description of a given problem to the final solution of the governing equations in a transparent way. The well-known ‘driven-cavity’ problem is used as the problem for testing coding written by the students, and the Navier-Stokes equations are initially cast in the vorticity-streamfunction form. This is followed by moving on to a solution method using the primitive variables and discussion of details such as, closure of the Navier-Stokes equations using turbulence modelling, appropriate meshing within the computation domain, various boundary conditions, properties of fluids, and the important methods for determining that a convergence solution has been reached. Such a course is found to be an efficient and transparent approach for introducing students to computational fluid dynamics.

PT X merupakan salah satu perusahaan tambang terbesar di Indonesia. Sebagai perusahaan yang terus berkembang, Departemen Human Resources (HR) pada perushaan tersebut harus dapat mengelola semua informasi karyawan dan bisa memantau kinerja karyawan. HR masih menggunakan Microsoft excel sebagai penyajian informasi secara visual di dalam sistem manajemen kinerja. Hal tersebut akan menjadi suatu kesulitan pada proses pengelolaan informasi dan evaluasi kinerja yang terkait dengan karyawan. Untuk membantu proses rekayasa ulang sistem perusahaan membutuhkan sistem komputerisasi dan terintegrasi yang baik, sehingga informasi dapat disajikan dengan baik ke semua user dan perusahaan mendapatkan informasi yang akurat. Dalam meningkatkan proses pemantauan, memerlukan data dan informasi yang diambil dari seluruh bagian departemen. Penulis membangun sistem dashboard berbasis web dalam penyajian informasi dan untuk pemantauan kinerja karyawan. Dashboard ini digunakan oleh Departemen Human Resources (HRD). Sistem dashboard dibangun menggunakan framework bootstrap. Dengan adanya sistem dashboard human resources berbasis web akan mempermudah dalam menyajikan informasi tentang karyawan.

PEMBUATAN PENDETEKSI OBYEK DENGAN METODE YOU ONLY LOOK ONCE (YOLO) UNTUK AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE (ATM)
Authors: Wasril Abi Rachman , Ghozali Mohammad Shiddiq , Mustafa M Banu
Published: October 2019

Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi begitu pesat di zaman sekarang ini. Diikuti pula dengan perkembangan di bidang Artificial Intelligence (AI) atau Kecerdasan Buatan. Di Indonesia sendiri masih belum begitu populer dikalangan masyarakat akan tetapi perusahaan-perusahaan IT berlomba-lomba menciptakan inovasi dibidang Kecerdasan Buatan dan penerapan Kecerdasan Buatan disegala aspek kehidupan. Contoh kasus di Automated Teller Machine (ATM), seringkali terjadi kejahatan di ATM seperti pengintaian nomor pin, skimming, lebanese loop dan kejahatan lainnya. Walaupun di ATM sudah terdapat CCTV akan tetapi penjahat menggunakan alat bantu untuk menutupi wajahnya seperti helm, topi, masker dan kacamata hitam. Biasanya didepan pintu masuk ATM terpampang larangan untuk tidak menggunakan helm, topi, masker dan kacamata hitam serta tidak membawa rokok. Akan tetapi larangan itu masih tetap ada yang melanggar, dikarenakan tidak ada tindak lanjut ketika seseorang menggunakan benda-benda yang dilarang dibawa kedalam ATM. Oleh karena itu penulis membuat sistem pendeteksi obyek di bidang Kecerdasan Buatan untuk mendeteksi benda-benda yang dilarang digunakan ketika berada di ATM. Salah satu metode yang digunakan untuk menciptakan Object Detection yaitu You Only Look Once (YOLO). Implementasi ide ini tersedia pada DARKNET (open source neural network). Cara kerja YOLO yaitu dengan melihat seluruh gambar sekali, kemudian melewati jaringan saraf sekali langsung mendeteksi object yang ada. Oleh karena itu disebut You Only Look Once (YOLO). Pada penelitian ini, penulis membuat sistem yang masih dalam bentuk pengembangan, sehingga menjalankannya masih menggunakan command prompt.

Published: October 2019

A new scheelite « granulite » deposit has been recently discovered in the La Capelle-Bleys (Aveyron). Scheelite associated with cassiterite and wolframite is situated in a very strongly mylonitised N-S zone. E-W veins of quartz intercross with the former and contain a paragenese of low temperature. An analogy to that of Montredon-Labessonié is likely possible.
Les coûts de main-d'œuvre dans diverses industries des pays du marché commun. (Analyse et actualisation des enquêtes de la C.E.E.)
Authors: Devaux Andrée
Published: October 2019

Il a paru intéressant d'analyser ici les résultats de la troisième enquête de la C.E.E. sur les coûts de main-d'œuvre, qui ont été publiés en 1964, de les regrouper avec ceux des deux premières investigations et d'actualiser l'ensemble de ces données au mois d'octobre 1963.

La troisième enquête de la C.E.E., qui porte sur l'année 1961, montre qu'en ce qui concerne les ouvriers, l'heure de travail, pour les treize industries choisies, est généralement plus chère en Allemagne qu'en France, tandis qu'elle est le plus souvent moins chère en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et en Italie ; par contre, les coûts mensuels des employés sont plus élevés en France que dans les autres pays du Marché commun.

Mais après trois enquêtes consécutives réalisées par la C.E.E. — de 1959 à 1961 — et couvrant au total trente-cinq industries manufacturières, c'est principalement la synthèse des résultats qui doit retenir l'attention. Elle permet d'observer que, si l'on considère — en raison de l'évolution assez rapide des charges salariales — que seuls les écarts supérieurs à 10 % traduisent des situations nettement différentes, les industries dont les coûts horaires ouvriers ne s'écartent pas très sensiblement des coûts français sont les plus nombreuses en Allemagne, en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas ; cependant, tandis qu'en Allemagne on trouve presque autant d'industries dont le coût dépasse de plus de 10 % le coût français, en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas les industries ayant des coûts inférieurs de plus de 10 % aux coûts français sont plus nombreuses que celles dont les coûts sont supérieurs de plus de 10 % et en Italie, les industries dont les coûts sont de plus de 10 % au-dessous des coûts français représentent plus de deux fois le nombre de celles dont les coûts sont relativement voisins. La synthèse des trois enquêtes sur les coûts mensuels des employés montre au contraire qu'en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas et en Italie les industries dans lesquelles ces coûts sont inférieurs de plus de 10 % aux coûts français sont les plus nombreuses, tandis qu'en Belgique les coûts assez proches constituent la majorité des cas.

Les estimations des coûts horaires ouvriers obtenues pour le mois d'octobre 1963 font ressortir une situation un peu différente : les industries dont les coûts dépassent de plus de 10 % les coûts français sont les plus nombreuses en Allemagne, tandis qu'en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et surtout en Italie, ce sont les cas dans lesquels les différences n'excèdent pas 10 % en plus ou en moins qui sont les plus fréquentes.

Premiers résultats de l'enquête au 1/10e sur les structures agricoles en 1963
Authors: Laurent Claude
Published: October 2019

Au cours du second semestre 1963, une enquête sur les structures agricoles a été réalisée avec des enquêteurs recrutés par les directions départementales des services agricoles. Un échantillon aléatoire de l\10 des exploitants agricoles a été interrogé par ces enquêteurs.

L'enquête de structure satisfait à deux objectifs :

— elle a le caractère d'un recensement agricole léger et elle fournit des informations récentes sur les structures agricoles au niveau de l'exploitation : famille des chefs d'exploitation, main-d'œuvre, mode de faire-valoir, surfaces occupées par les diverses cultures, renseignements sommaires sur le cheptel vif et mort ;

— elle constitue une base de sondage donnant la possibilité de tirer au sort des sous-échantillons représentatifs pour effectuer des enquêtes spécifiques (exemples : étude des rendements céréaliers, étude des bâtiments d'habitation et d'exploitation) et rapprocher les résultats de ces diverses enquêtes réalisées en une seconde phase, d'où le terme d' « échantillon-maître » (master sample) utilisé pour désigner cette enquête de structure.

La qualité des informations collectées dans l'enquête est supérieure à celle du recensement général agricole de 1955 et les premiers résultats de l'enquête 1963 permettent de procéder à des comparaisons par rapport à 1955. Le nombre d'exploitations agricoles est passé de 2.286 000 en 1955 (résultat rectifié) à 1.900.000 en 1963, soit une diminution annuelle moyenne de l'ordre de 52.000 entreprises. Ce sont surtout les petites exploitations de moins de 10 ou 20 hectares de surface agricole utile qui ont disparu ou se sont agrandies, les unités de production de plus de 20 hectares de surface agricole utile sont, par contre, en augmentation.
