Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to know the level of English competence the students of the seventh semester at STES Islamic Village Tangerang in the academic year of 2018-2019. The instrument of this research is TOEFL paper-based test called TOEFL Prediction. The result of this research showed out of forty students only one student (2.5 %) achieved the minimum score required by the institution. Most of them (97.5 %) could not reach the minimum score. Although this is still the initial step to manage English competence as a competitive advantage for STES Islamic Village Tangerang. The research result will lead to the necessity of follow-up research to do so..

MENGELOLA KINERJA DOSEN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN SURVEI KEPUASAN MAHASISWA
Get PDFLecturers play a very significant role in education. Managing their performance can give good impacts to the quality of teaching processes and outcomes. There are actually many approaches to manage their performance. One of the approaches worth considering is students’ feedback combined with the marketing concept of ‘customer satisfaction’ since students can be considered customers. The concept of student satisfaction is too broad. It ranges from facilities to lecturers. This paper focuses only on managing the lecturer’s performance based on student satisfaction towards what normally a lecturer has done in teaching and learning. The data is collected from the questionnaire provided for the students. The research is expected to map the weakness and strength areas of the lecturer in four classifications: first, what the lecturer should improve because the lecturer’s performance perceived by the students is in the low level and the students’ expectation is in the high level; second, what the lecturer should maintain or keep going because the lecturer’s performance and the students’ expectation at the same time are in the high level; third, what the lecturer should maintain but think about the weighting of it because the lecturer’s performance is in the low level and the students’ expectation is also in the low level; fourth, what the lecturer should reduce the emphasis if possible because the lecturer’s performance is in the high level and the students’ expectation is in the low level. The result shows that with the four classifications the lecturer’s performance can be managed well. Consequently, the lecturer can do the planned evaluation action to improve the performance accordingly in measurable and manageable way.Dosen mempunyai peran yang sangat signifikan dalam pendidikan. Mengelola kinerja dosen dapat memberikan efek yang baik pada mutu proses dan hasil pengajaran. Ada banyak pendekatan untuk mengelola kinerja dosen. Salah satu yang pantas dipertimbangkan adalah umpan balik mahasiswa yang dipadukan dengan salah satu konsep pemasaran ‘kepuasan pelanggan’ karena mahasiswa juga pelanggan. Konsep kepuasan mahasiswa sangat luas yang mencakup dari fasilitas-fasilitas sampai dosen. Penelitian ini hanya fokus pada mengelola kinerja dosen berdasarkan kepuasan mahasiswa terhadap apa yang biasanya dosen lakukan dalam hal pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Data dikumpulkan dari angket yang disediakan untuk mahasiswa. Hasil riset diharapkan dapat memetakan kelemahan dan kekuatan dosen dalam empat klasifikasi: pertama, apa yang dosen harus tingkatkan karena kinerja dosen yang dipersepsi oleh mahasiswa adalah rendah dan harapan mahasiswa tinggi; kedua, apa yang dosen harus terus pertahankan karena kinerja dosen dan harapan mahasiswa pada saat yang bersamaan sudah tinggi; ketiga, apa yang mestinya dosen pertahankan tetapi pantas mempertimbangkan lagi karena kinerja dosen rendah dan harapan mahasiswa juga rendah; keempat, apa yang dosen sudah laksanakan dengan baik dan perlu mempertimbangkan untuk mengurangi penekanan karena kinerja dosen sudah baik tetapi harapan mahasiswa rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dengan empat klasifikasi ini kinerja dosen dapat dikelola dengan baik. Efek dari penelitian ini adalah dosen dapat menjalankan evaluasi tindakan yang terencana untuk meningkatkan kinerja
Risk and Return Analysis of Government Bonds in Indonesia: A Multifactor Model Approach
Get PDFUnderstanding the relationship between risk and government bond returns is crucial for assessing the influence of risk factors on bond returns. This study investigates the dynamics of risk-taking behavior and its impact on the performance of government bonds in Indonesia. Using monthly data spanning from January 2017 to December 2021, we employ a multifactor model with GARCH analysis technique to analyze the data. The findings reveal that risk exposure exerts a negative and significant effect on government bond returns in Indonesia, while market factors also negatively and significantly influence bond returns. Conversely, the joint stock performance exhibits a positive relationship and significantly impacts returns in Indonesia
Analisis Kadar Klorofil pada Pohon Angsana (Pterocarpus Indicus Willd.) di Kawasan Ngoro Industri Persada (NIP) Ngoro Mojokerto Sebagai Sumber Belajar Biologi
Get PDFSeiring meningkatnya Industri, maka mengindikasikan bahwa kualitas udara di daerah tersebut menurun karena
masuknya polutan ke dalam udara. Udara yang tercemar dapat merusak lingkungan dan kehidupan manusia. Salah
satu bioidikator pencemaran udara adalah pohon Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus Willd.). Pohon angsana sebagai salah
satu pohon yang memiliki kepekaan terhadap pencemaran udara terutama di bagian organ daun. Pengaruh
pencemaran udara pada daun dapat dilihat dari kerusakan secara makroskopis seperti klorosis dan nekrosis atau
secara mikroskopis seperti perubahan jumlah kadar klorofil. Penelitian ini berutujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan
kadar klorofil pada masing-masing stasiun, mengetahui hubungan kerapatan industri dengan kadar klorofil, nekrosis,
klorosis, dan memberikan inovasi sumber belajar biologi. Metode pengambilan sample menggunakan purposive
sampling. Sampel dianalisis menggunakan metode spektrofotometri uv-vis 1800. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan
bahwa rata-rata kadar klorofil bervariasi. Kadar klorofil a dan klorofil b tertinggi pada selatan Blok H
2
sebesar 17,454
mg/g, dan 7,454 mg/g, kadar klorofil a dan b terendah pada jalan Blok G dan N sebesar 6,859 mg/g dan 2,610 mg/g.
Kerapatan industri mempunyai hubungan berbanding terbalik dengan kadar klorofil, semakin banyak industri maka
semakin sedikit kadar klorofil, dan kerusakan daun yang terkena pencemaran udara mengalami gejala klorosis dan
nekrosis
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
