Improving Performance Through Rightsizing: Analysis of the Effectiveness of Implementing Equal Administration in the Ministry of Transportation
No full textBased on the direction of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, the bureaucracy has been simplified from four levels to two levels. This was carried out by equating certain functional positions. Efforts to simplify the organizational structure are a reflection of efforts to develop the optimal organization size. Organizational rightsizing has been defined as a series of activities which are carried out as part of organizational management designed to increase the efficiency, productivity and/or competitiveness of the organization. The challenge in equalizing administrative positions into functional positions is that there is no model in each ministry or agency, and this leads to a higher workload due to employees concurrently serving as a functional official and a coordinator or sub-coordinator according to the position before being equalized. This study employed qualitative research methods with a soft systems methodology approach. The process of equalizing positions was analyzed by comparing the rightsizing process through the actor’s conceptual model and the outcome. It was found that there is a need for policy changes so that the main managerial activities carried out as a result of the sub-coordinator’s role which cannot be replaced by functional positions can still be assessed as credit points. Also, there is a need for socialization and coaching in functional positions. The use of information technology also needs to be implemented to promote the performance of officials.

DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL: A PROPOSAL USING A CROWDFUNDING SCHEME
No full textObjective: This research aims to provide proposals for a comprehensive policy framework and strategic plan to advance economic prosperity through infrastructure development in the New Capital Region of East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Theoretical Framework: The theory used is crowdfunding from Kirby & Worner (2014). The crowdfunding model includes social crowdfunding communities, loans/donations, and reward crowdfunding. The financial benefits of crowdfunding encompass peer-to-peer (P2P) loans and equity crowdfunding.
Method: The method employed is a qualitative approach using interview discussions supported by participant observation. Twenty-two stakeholders, including policymakers and community members, participated in the study, providing diverse perspectives. The research takes place from September 16 to November 19, 2023, with the research locus in the city of IKN Nusantara.
Results and Conclusions: To comprehend the short-medium-and long-term perspectives, these plans require innovative financing methodologies, such as crowdfunding, which is considered an essential element. In the short term, community involvement is targeted through SBSN, facilitating direct community participation in infrastructure funding. This medium-term strategy integrates digital platforms and blockchain technology, increasing transparency and strengthening public trust. A mixed creative financing model is recommended for public transport, aligning crowdfunding with Public-Private Partnerships. In the long term, this study highlights the growing maturity of crowdfunding and its potential positive influence on the infrastructure supporting the economy, setting a precedent that can be imitated in other regions in Indonesia.
Research Implications: In line with national aspirations to achieve advanced status by 2045, this proposal supports inclusive economic growth inspired by China's expertise in optimizing domestic resources. The importance of the Open Government concept was underlined, emphasizing community involvement to reduce foreign dependence and encourage sustainable economic growth.
Originality/Value: This research includes concrete actions, such as implementing Government Sharia Securities, blockchain integration, and targeted financial education campaigns, all aimed at ensuring the effectiveness and long-term success of infrastructure development in the Capital Region
Read-Copy-Update for OpenSolaris
No full textThesis Title: Read-Copy-Update for OpenSolaris Author: Andrej Podzimek Department: Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Supervisor: Mgr. Martin Děcký Supervisor's e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a RCU (Read-Copy-Update) synchronization mechanism for OpenSolaris. The main purpose of the RCU mechanism is to increase concurrency in readers- writers synchronization scenarios, especially in SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing) en- vironments. This improvement is achieved by keeping multiple versions of the protected data which enables readers and writers to run in parallel. The RCU synchronization has already been implemented multiple times and is used in the Linux kernel. The thesis includes analysis of existing RCU implementations, possible benefits of RCU in the ONNV (OpenSolaris) kernel and a prototype implementation in ONNV. It also suggests possible applications of RCU where lockless synchronization is already applied. The prototype implementation is compared with its counterpart in the Linux kernel. Keywords: RCU Read-Copy-Update OpenSolaris kernel UTS synchronizatio
Security containers and access rights in HelenOS
No full textTitle: Security containers and access rights in HelenOS Author: Štěpán Henek Department: Department of Software Engineering Supervisor: Mgr. Martin Děcký Supervisor's e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract: The goal of this thesis is to design and implement security containers (contexts) for tasks and access rights mechanisms for microkernel operating systems. The access rights mechanisms implement common paradigms such as user identification, groups of users, system entities (tasks, files) ownership, user capabilities and access control lists. Moreover, the design allows to implement hierarchical security domains, where each domain is able to delegate a subset of its permissions to its subdomains. The design also enables the implementa- tion of containers, which mutually isolate those tasks, which are situated in security domains with an empty intersection. The thesis comprises of an analysis and evaluation of possible approaches, a prototype imple- mentation in HelenOS with respect to its specific properties (emphasis on a small context switch overhead, delegation of security mechanisms to privileged user space tasks, etc.) and also com- parison with implementations of security containers and access rights mechanisms in generally available operating systems. Keywords: security contexts, access..
Sustainable Adaptive Cycle Pavements Using Composite Foam Concrete at High Altitudes in Central Europe
No full textClimate pavement adaptability is an integral part of a holistic concept of road design, construction, and pavement management. One of the possibilities for fulfilling the mentioned author’s premise in sustainable cycle pavements in the cold region of Central Europe is using composite foam concrete (CFC). To establish the credibility of the design of these pavements, we objectified the correlation dependencies of average annual air temperatures and frost indexes, for altitude regions from 314 to 858 m in the period 1971 to 2020, at its height above sea level. As part of the research on the increase in tensile strength during bending of CFC, extensive laboratory measurements were carried out and validated by isomorphic models of real roads, which enabled an increase in tensile strength during bending from 0.376 to 1.370 N·mm−2 for basalt reinforcing mesh. The research results, verified through FEM (Finite Element Method) models of cycle pavements, demonstrated a possible reduction of total pavement thickness from 56 to 38 cm for rigid pavements and 48 to 38 cm for flexible pavements
Peningkatan Produktifitas Usaha Keripik Singkong Melalui Pendampingan Teknologi di Desa Geneng Kabupaten Jepara
No full textCassava chips are one of the snacks favored by residents because of their crunchy texture and can be enjoyed in any circumstances while relaxing. However, most cassava chips entrepreneurs still use packaging that is fairly monotonous and old-fashioned so that cassava chips are mostly only enjoyed by the elderly. This was also experienced by the partners chosen by the Geneng Village Community Service Team. The packaging used by partners is still in the form of clear plastic with a piece of paper inside that says "Taqiya Chips". In addition to packaging that is still ancient, marketing can also be said to be still in a limited reach, namely only in shops around the production site. This is what underlies the Geneng Village Community Service Team to serve these partners. The method that the author uses in this research is Community-Based Research where the author involves partners as work partners. The method used in this community service activity is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) where this method utilizes the assets and potentials around them. The owner of Taqiya Chips has the potential to make a product from his private garden which becomes a chip product that can be sold. The problems faced are packaging that is still monotonous and unattractive, logos that are only in the form of writing, and marketing targets that are still narrow. The KKN team provided an innovation for branding Taqiya Chips. Then carry out packaging updates and create a logo with a new design appearance, then do product marketing that will be branded through Shopee, Instagram and Tokopedia, then the products will start to be distributed
The COMPASS experiment at CERN
No full textAbbon P, Albrecht E, Alexakhin VY, et al. The COMPASS experiment at CERN. Nucl.Instrum.Meth. A. 2007;577(3):455-518.The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensity muon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarised target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters. The setup has been successfully operated from 2002 onwards using a muon beam. Data with a hadron beam were also collected in 2004. This article describes the main features and performances of the spectrometer in 2004; a short summary of the 2006 upgrade is also given.
