Authors: Tuanaya Wahab , Muhtar Muhtar , Khairunisa Atika , Wance Marno 
Published: April 2020

Kota Ambon merupakan salah satu daerah yang mengalami keterlambatan dalam melakukan penyusunan anggaran dan penetapannya dari tahun 2010-2014. Keterlambatan yang terjadi disebabkan oleh pola komunikasi lembaga terkait yang tidak terjalin dengan baik. Pola komunitasi yang tidak terjalin ini menimbulkan perdebatan dua lembaga yang berakibat fatal pada penetapan anggaran di bulan Januari sampai Maret, padahal batas waktu penetapan anggaran paling lambatnya adalah pada bulan Desember setiap tahun. Keterlambatan penetapan menjadi fokus penelitian dengan menganalisis pola komunikasi politik pada lembaga eksekutif dan legislatif dalam menjalankan kewenangan perencanaan anggaran sesuai dengan ketentuan yang berlaku.
Pola komunikasi politik yang terjadi pada perencanaan anggaran menentukan berjalannya proses perencanaan anggaran dengan baik, tepat dan akuntabel. Komunikasi politik pada pembahasan APBD Kota Ambon merupakan proses yang terjadi pada perencanaan dan penetapan anggaran. Perencanaan anggaran yang terjadi pada lembaga eksekutif dan legislatif terbentuk oleh pola komunikasi formal tentang mekanisme perencanaan anggaran, serta pola komunikasi informal untuk melakukan bargaining, negosiasi, dan lobi dalam mengakomudir kepentingan di antara kedua lembaga.
Metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus digunakan untuk menganalisis pola komunikasi politik pada lembaga legislatif dan eksekutif. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah dengan cara observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi serta penggunaan bahan-bahan yang terkait. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa pola komunikasi ekternal antara lembaga eksekutif dan legislatif dalam proses penetapan APBD Kota Ambon memanfaatkan saluran komunikasi formal dan informal. Selanjutnya pencocokan program kerja dilakukan melalui tahapan reses yang diakomodir pada dokumen KUA-PPAS serta dituangkan pada pandangan fraksi masing-masing di DPRD.

Determinazione della numerosità campionaria
Authors: Di Napoli Anteo , Francesco Franco 
Published: April 2020

Determining the adequate sample size for a clinical trial is crucial in the design of an epidemiological study. In fact the question about the number of subjects need to study is common for clinical investigators, because a correct sample size is fundamental to obtain reliable findings. The larger the sample size under study, the greater the chance of detecting, as statistically significant, a clinically important effect it exists. This issue is related to the precision and the power of a study in measuring the difference between treatments being studied, the validity and accuracy of a diagnostic test, the occurrence of a disease. However, conducting a study with an adequate sample size is fundamental not only in statistical terms, but also from an ethical point of view. It is unjustifiable to expose patients to the risks of a research if the study has not the necessary preconditions to obtain findings useful to substantial scientific progress. Calculating sample size depends on several issues, such as the type of sampling method, the type of the study, the desired power and level of confidence fixed for the study. The aim of this article is to summarize the criterions for defining the appropriate sample size and to present some examples of methods for its calculating. (Epidemiology_statistics)
The merger of natural intelligence with artificial intelligence, with a focus on Neuralink company
Authors: Miśkiewicz Julia 
Published: April 2020

Human development is connected with permanent action to be better, to overcome nature, to build something that has so far been able to occur without its participation. The emergence of concepts such as artificial infertification, artificial blood, artificial organs, artificial eye retina, artificial brain or artificial intelligence suggests the desire to take control of man, the control which has so far been attributed to nature, To God the Creator, fate or chance. The dynamic development of science, modern tools and research methods make the thought of artificial intelligence becoming more and more real. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used by business people. Its development involves numerous groups of high-class specialists, using the most modern IT tools. Before the creation of the first "intelligent" machines, its idea lasted in the imagination of many people. The films and books of science fiction presented the future in which man was replaced by a machine, and the phenomenon of this reality were robots. Today, for the modern man, it is not a surprise robot, or a "smart" computer program. Thanks to the rapid development of electronics and computer science, we are able to create what was once only a topic of science fiction. AI is currently being used in various fields of science, such as medicine, economics and management. But it is also worth remembering that these processes are accompanied by numerous questions and doubts related to the ethics of its use. The aim of the articles is to inspire the discourse on the example of Neuralink – the search for answers to emerging doubts.

Practice makes perfect: a WID approach for Human Resource Management Honours students at a South African university
Authors: Arnold Laura 
Published: April 2020

Little is known about how postgraduate students should be taught to write in their discipline. This research explores how a research preparation module supported Human Resource Management Honours students to write their research reports at a South African university. The module incorporated a ‘Writing in the Disciplines’ (WID) approach, because students, who worked in groups, wrote a series of developmental assignments marked according to rubrics that made the conventions of the report explicit. Many of the developmental assignments were rewritten as components of the research report. In order to determine if rewriting the assignments improved the students’ writing, the assignments from four groups were evaluated against the students’ rubrics. The redrafted assignments met more of the criteria in the marking rubrics. Since all group members spoke English as an additional language, this approach might benefit postgraduate students in similar contexts. The findings suggest that academic staff who want to offer developmental assignments prior to the submission of a larger research text should ensure that students are supported in two ways. Firstly, the design of the assignments should provide students with the opportunity to practice writing all the components of the larger piece of research writing. Secondly, supervisors and academic literacies practitioners should collaborate more effectively so that they can use what they learn from each other to better support students to write for their disciplines.
