Published: July 2018

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) or in another word collaborating computer with the classroom component to enhance language learning has a long history of pedagogical development since 1950 until nowadays which started with the simple program into microcomputers. It covers all learning processes using computers which advance the language skills of the learners. In the language courses, CALL is implemented by using several applications but this essay will solely mention 8 applications out of many. The study cases prove that those implementations offer several great values toward academic life. However, in order to achieve successful implementation, the pre-conditions or requirements of the CALL implementation must be fulfilled. In Indonesia, the advent of some hindrances such as cost, teacher trainings are the main issues to fulfil those requirements. Alternatively, several recommendations are proposed to refute the problems such as schools and local government cooperation, customisation learning technology and peer school teaching.

Editorial Special Issue: Urban Freight, land use planning and public administration strategies
Authors: Gatta Valerio , Marcucci Edoardo , Dablanc Laetitia 
Published: July 2018

Well-being and economic growth are strictly correlated. Cities are the engines of an innovation-based economy where research and new ideas are the core input of production. Urbanisation is becoming synonymous of economic growth. People flock into cities, both in the developed and developing world, since here is where wealth is, where high quality services are available and life standards are comparatively higher with respect to other places. However, one has to acknowledge that growth also produces undesired negative effects. In fact, cities are net importers. They need to acquire consumption/intermediate goods, export production and get rid of waste. In other words, the existence of a city relies on a transportation system providing the necessary services for its functioning. The typical urban transportation system heavily depends on passenger and freight movements by road. While this dependency is, in some cases, less relevant for passenger transport, most of freight moved in, out, within and through a city relies on motorized road transportation. Trucks and vans are responsible for congestion, polluting emissions, accidents, noise, visual intrusion and stench. All these negative effects are concentrated where many citizens live and, consequently, produce relevant economic (e.g. time lost), environmental (e.g. air quality), and social (e.g. segregation) impacts. Cities to be attractive, sustainable and thriving need an efficient freight transportation system. Fast changing consumption patterns with the rise of e-commerce and home deliveries also point out to another dimension of cities: their need to adapt quickly to economic trends.
The papers in this special issue address, from alternative points of view and using different methodological approaches, some of the relevant and critical issues pertaining to land use planning and administration strategies in modern cities with respect to the urban freight sector.

Published: July 2018

Mobile payment is an electronic payment made through a mobile device. As the number of mobile phone subscribers in Ghana increases, so does the market for mobile money services. The majority of Ghanaians lack any formal bank account. An estimated 80 percent of Ghanaians are “unbanked” – meaning they conduct their transactions outside the banking sector with no access to financial services. Products like “mobile money,” that enable safe and secure money transfers without the use of a bank account, could have a major impact on this unserved segment of the population. Mobile money gives anyone with a mobile phone the ability to transfer money, make cash payments and conduct other financial transactions over the phone. Currently, there are four mobile money payment systems in Ghana, namely, MTN mobile money, Vodafone (VF) cash, Tigo cash and Airtel money. For an effective operation of these systems, Privacy, Traceability, Cost of Transaction, and Simplicity of the Processes involved are of much interest. The study examined the loopholes in the current mobile payment systems and proposed a framework to address the loopholes such as: Entering of information on next of kin into the system during registration, acceptance of year of birth as PIN, transactional PIN decrypted, no entering of a Valid ID number into the system, no provision for security word during token cash out, no provision for guarantor information, no provision for BoG permit number, no provision for police clearance number, and data in transit not encrypted.

Authors: Komaryati Nungki , M. Akram , Prayitno Basuki 
Published: July 2018

This study aims to examine the possibility of applying balanced scorecard to SAMSAT Mataram Office. The assertion of the importance of a more comprehensive measurement method that traditional measurements we know so far is very difficult to measure the intangible assets. Therefore, a performance measurement system that is able to measure the value of the intangible assets is required to estimate and deliver an economic success of the organization. Implementation of a balanced scorecard supported by the correct reporting system will support the realization of good governance. This research uses qualitative approach with Case Study research strategy.
The result of the research shows that to increase the strategic role as public service provider institution with excellent service system and mechanism requires uniformity between performance measurement result with actual condition of office / institution performance or government organization. As a method of measuring the performance of the balanced scorecard framework is perceived to be relatively comprehensive, coherent, balanced and measurable compared to the measurement of AKIP performance in SAKIP, therefore the balance scorecard framework is then perceived as necessary for government agencies such as SAMSAT to be implemented in office performance measurement. Office performance measurement using the balance scorecard is not intended to replace the existing LAKIP framework within SAKIP, but rather an attempt to provide input within the AKIP framework by including key performance indicators that have not been considered in the SAKIP framework.

Family planning provides individuals and couples the ability to adequately space each pregnancy. Contraceptive uptake is still low in developing countries. This study aims to determine the proportion of women with unmet need for family planning in plateau State.
Methods and materials: This was a cross sectional study, employing quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 300 study participants across the three senatorial zones in Plateau State. A semi structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from study participants while a Focussed Group Discussion (FGD) guide was used to conduct FGDs among women. Data was analysed using SPSS version 23.
Results: The mean age of respondents was 25.4 years. The proportion of women currently using any form of contraceptive was 36%. Fifty-six percent of the respondents had unmet need for family planning. Educational status and parity were statistically significantly associated with having unmet need for family planning. In the FDGs most women of lower parity narrated that they would like to limit and space their pregnancies but were not using family planning commodities for fear of infertility, back ache, headache and complication such as convulsion in pregnancy.
Conclusion: The use of family planning commodities is low and unmet need for family planning high in Plateau State. Interventions such as health education targeting mothers may reduce the proportion of women with unmet need for family planning. This will enable women adequately space and limit their pregnancies and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
Key words: family planning, unmet need, limiting pregnancy, spacing pregnancy.

Pembelajaran kimia di SMA X masih belum maksimal sehingga berdampak terhadap hasil belajar yang belum memenuhi KKM yaitu ≥75. Pembelajaran kimia khususnya sistem koloid di SMA X masih terpusat pada kemampuan siswa untuk menghapal tanpa menghubungkannya dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Untuk mengatasi hal ini diterapakan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe NHT dan TGT. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh perbedaan hasil belajar sistem koloid dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran NHT dan TGT. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperiman dengan rancangan Randomized Control Group Only Design yang Diperluas. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI IA di X, dan sampel penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI IA 2 sebagai kelas eksperimen 1 (NHT) dan siswa kelas XI IA 3 sebagai kelas eksperimen 2 (TGT). Sampel diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik Purposive Sampling. Data diperoleh dari tes hasil belajar kognitif yang diberikan di akhir pembelajaran, dimana soal tes akhir ini telah diujicobakan terlebih dahulu. Data tersebut kemudian dianalisis secara statistik dengan menggunakan uji-t. Hasil analisis data hasil belajar kognitif diperoleh rata-rata kelas eksperimen 1 (NHT) = 81,8 dan kelas eksperimen 2 (TGT) = 80,8. Dari hasil uji-t yang dilakukan pada taraf nyata 0,05 diperoleh thitung = 0,42 dan ttabel = 2,00 (dk=73), terlihat bahwa thitung < ttabel maka H0 diterima sedangkan H1 ditolak, yang artinya kedua kelas sampel tidak memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan. Akan tetapi dapat meningkatakan hasil belajar, hal ini terlihat dari nilai rata-rata kelas sampel yang memenuhi KKM yaitu ≥ 75.

Remaja merupakan salah satu unsur generasi muda, mengingat umur mereka masih belasan tahun. Dalam kurun terakhir ini, muncul kecemasan di kalangan masyarakat tentang tingkah laku remaja yang cenderung mengarah kepada perbuatan melanggar norma-norma sosial dan norma-norma agama serta aturan-aturan hukum. Munculnya perilaku negatif di kalangan remaja, seperti: perkelahian antar pelajar, melakukan pembunuhan, pemerkosaan, penodongan, melakukan hubungan seksual di luar nikah dan mengkonsumsi narkoba. Guna menanganinya, berbagai usaha telah dilakukan, mulai dari promosi pencegahan pemakaian, penegakan hukum yang keras, hingga pembentukan lembaga-lembaga yang melakukan promosi pencegahan, baik lembaga bentukan pemerintah maupun swadaya masyarakat. Begitu pula usaha untuk membantu penyembuhan para pecandu juga sudah cukup dilakukan. Berbagai tempat rehabilitasi dengan berbagai pendekatan mulai dari medis, psikologis, hingga spiritual, sudah banyak didirikan, baik oleh pemerintah maupun masyarakat sendiri. Namun usaha-usaha tersebut, masih bersifat parsial. Masing-masing pendekatan dilaksanakan sendiri-sendiri. Misalnya ada lembaga yang menggunakan pendekatan terapi medis saja, ada pula yang menggunakan pendekatan terapi psikologis atau terapi spiritual saja. Pendekatan rehabilitasi secara parsial seperti ini, tidak dapat menjangkau semua dimensi kerusakan yang dialami oleh pecandu narkoba. Sehingga tidak dapat menghasilkan kesembuhan secara total baik fisik, psikis maupun moral spiritualnya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan suatu pendekatan baru, yang dapat mengakomodir semua dimensi kerusakan yang dialami pecandu narkoba, seperti dimensi fisik, psikis dan dimensi moral spiritual. Pendekatan tersebut merupakan integrasi dari pendekatan terapi biologis-medis, psikotrapi-psikologis, dan moral-spiritual.
