Educational Facilities Management in Increasing the Quality of Learning at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya, Indonesia
Get PDFThis research aims to know the management of educational facilities at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya. The type of research is a qualitative approach; data collection techniques used observation, interviews and documentation. Participants in this study were: school principals, deputy heads of facilities, deputy heads of curricula and teachers in charge of majors.The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Management of educational facilities at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya made various efforts using: 1) planning is carried out at the beginning of each year by holding an internal meeting with the development team; 2) procurement which is fully regulated by the school principal and asking competent parties to analyze it; 3) Storage using an empty building to maintain the quality of educational facilities; 4) Inventory which is only carried out in general notebooks without coding each item; 5) Elimination by looking at educational facilities that are no longer functioning so that there is no waste of budget to repair them; 6) The responsibility for arranging educational facilities is fully assigned to the teachers in charge of each department; 7) The suitability of teachers who teach does not meet the standards of Permendiknas No. 16 of 2007 because there are still teachers who teach not based on their major, so this dramatically affects the quality of learning; 8) Equipment for educational facilities still needs to be increased because the number of educational suggestions is inversely proportional to the number of students available. So the need for existing equipment will impact the quality of learning at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya
Information Security Challenges in the Absence of ICT in Protecting Personal and Organisational Data in Nairobi County, Kenya
Get PDFThere have been several cases of lost documents and misplaced or inaccurate information belonging to individuals or organisations reported in recent times at global, national and regional levels. Nairobi county is one of the regions on the spot as many people travelling or working in the city have reported lost identification documents such as certificates and licenses, whether through criminality or negligence. Furthermore, most businesses and organisations dealing with huge volumes of data need help to protect and provide accurate information. Many still need help with the pre-digital data management systems, thus risking the loss of both personal and organisational data. This paper, therefore, sought to examine the information security challenges due to the inadequate application of ICT in managing personal and corporate data and their implications on individuals and organisations in Nairobi County. The target population included employees from Kenya Revenue Authority and Kenya Data Networks in Nairobi headquarters offices, police officers deployed at NPS offices headquarters and members of the public. The selected target groups were known to deal with enormous data for both personnel and businesses, and the police officers were part of this study because of their mandate to help in tracking lost personal and business documents. Lastly, the researcher engaged members of the public to share their experiences of losing business and personal records. The study employed purposive and simple random sampling techniques to select the required sample of 110 participants drawn from the four groups. A structured questionnaire was administered to the sampled police officers, employees of Kenya Data Network and Kenya Revenue Authority and members of the public. The researchers interviewed key informants from the three organisations, NPS, KRA and KDA, to complement the data collected using the questionnaires. The findings established that challenges were associated with the need for more ICT in managing personal information and organisational data.The paper revealed that the need for an integrated system is a challenge to tracking missing identities or verifying the validity of provided information, thus compromising the productivity and security of businesses and institutions. Results from this study provide a solution to tracking any missing documents and correcting inaccurate personal data by adopting an integrated ICT system

Effect of Metakaolin on Strength Properties of Lateritic Soil Intended for Use as Road Construction Material
Get PDFAbstract. An excellent all-weather road is essential in providing reliable transportation services that comprise social and economic development elements. However, in most cases, the road has to be constructed on a soft foundation soil where large deformations usually occur, which causes increases in maintenance costs and leads to interruption of traffic service, especially during the wet season. It is necessary to stabilize or improve the in-situ soils. This study explores the potential of using metakaolin to improve the geotechnical properties of lateritic soil for road construction materials. The soil classifies as A-6(4) and CL according to the American Association of State Highway and Transport Officials and the Unified Soil Classification System. The soil was treated with 5, 17.5 and 30 % concentrations of metakaolin by dry weight and was compacted using three compaction energies: British Standard Light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS) and British Standard Heavy (BSH). California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of metakaolin on the soil investigated. Results showed a general improvement in the engineering properties of the soil with an increase in metakaolin content, particularly when compacted at the BSH energy level. However, the results did not meet the 1500-3000 kN/m2 7 days UCS criterion stipulated by the Nigerian General Specification for road base courses. However, 30 % lateritic soil/metakaolin blended soil compacted using WAS and BSH energy levels suffice for use as sub-base in road construction, having met the 750-1500 kN/m2 7 days UCS criterion stipulated by the Nigerian General Specification. The Peak CBR value for the treated soil, compacted using the three energy levels of BSL, WAS, and BSH, occurred at 30 % metakaolin concentration with corresponding soaked CBR values of 17, 23 and 31 %. The Nigerian General Specification recommends a nominal strength criterion of a soaked CBR value of 30 and 80 % to be attained by material to be used as sub-base and base course in road construction. Based on the above criterion, only the 30 % metakaolin treated blend compacted at the BSH energy level met the 30 % requirement for sub-base materials
Цветотопонимы во французской и азербайджанской ономастике
Get PDFThe article states that using colour adjectives as a part of toponyms is a common phenomenon in the onomastic vocabulary of the French and Azerbaijani languages. The object of the analysis of the study is colour toponyms (colour hydronyms, -oikonyms and -oronyms) of the French and Azerbaijani onomastics. It is noted that the differences between the colour toponyms of the compared languages are, on the one hand, their belonging to different language families and, on the other hand, the location of the studied countries in various political and geographical zones. The commonalities discovered in studying the colour-toponymic units of these languages are explained by the universality of some concepts in nature and the primary colour representations in mind.В статье говорится о том, что употребление цветовых прилагательных в составе топонимов является распространенным языковым явлением в ономастической лексике французского и азербайджанского языков. Объектом анализа исследования являются цветотопонимы (цветогидронимы, -ойконимы и -оронимы) французской и азербайджанской ономастики. Отмечается, что различия между цветотопонимами сравниваемых языков заключаются, с одной стороны, их принадлежностью к разным языковым семьям, а с другой стороны, расположенностью изучаемых стран в разных политико-географических зонах. Общности, обнаруженные в процессе изучения цветотопонимических единиц этих языков, объясняются универсальностью некоторых понятий в природе и основных цветовых представлений в сознании
Методы исследования глаголов понимания в лингвистике (на основе языковых материалов английского языка)
Get PDFThe study of verbs of understanding in the language structure is an essential issue for cognitive linguistics and scientific research related to the semantic fields of the lexical level. Verbs of understanding in the lexical tier of the language are indicators of the cognitive process of mastering speech by communicators and have a wide semantic scope. The central link in this sphere is the word “know”. After analyzing the formal and semantic valency of the verbs of understanding and describing their semantic and syntactic features, the researchers classified them into four groups, determined the functionality of these verbs by parts of speech, and identified subcategorical signs of right- and left-handed actants.Изучение глаголов понимания в языковой структуре является важным вопросом для когнитивной лингвистики и для научных исследований, связанных с семантическими полями лексического уровня. Глаголы понимания в лексическом ярусе языка являются показателями когнитивного процесса освоения речи коммуникаторами и имеют широкую семантическую сферу. Центральным звеном этой сферы является слово «знать». Проанализировав формальную и семантическую валентность глаголов понимания, описав их семантико-синтаксические особенности, исследователи классифицировали их в четыре группы, определили функциональность этих глаголов по частям речи, выявили субкатегориальные признаки право- и левосторонних актантов
The Challenge of Teaching in the Village and the Importance of a Competent Teacher
Get PDFBased on the results of mentoring students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in the implementation of the Community Service Program for the period November 2020 to January 2021, which was carried out in several villages in Central Lombok Regency with the theme of teaching in the village, it was found that there were various teaching challenges in the village. This is undoubtedly very important and interesting to study and socialise, especially concerning the importance of competent teachers. Therefore, this paper will discuss various findings about the challenges of teaching in the village and analyse their relation to the extent of qualified teachers. The study in this paper uses a sociological-normative approach. The results of the study show that there are various teaching challenges in the village. The challenges in question include challenges from the aspects of students, parents, infrastructure, and facilities. From the part of students, namely the number of students who do not master the primary material that should have been mastered at the previous level and the low motivation of students to learn. From the aspect of parents, namely the lack of support from parents to synergise in strengthening learning programs in schools. From the part of infrastructure and facilities, namely the lack of needed infrastructure and facilities. This challenge also shows the importance of comprehensively teaching four competencies: professional competence, educational competence, personal competence, and social competence. Competent teachers will place these challenges not as obstacles but as motivation to continue to innovate
