ANALYSIS OF ANTHESEDENT AND TAXPAYER AWARENESS CONSEQUENTS OF COMPLIANCE LEVELS IN FULFILL ITS TAXATION OBLIGATIONS
No full textThe purpose of this study is to provide conceptual information regarding the role of exogenous variables, namely understanding the implementation of self-assessment systems, service quality, perceptions of taxation sanctions on the mediation variable of taxpayer awareness and taxpayer compliance endegenus variables (WP). Specifically, it provides information on the effect of understanding the implementation of self-assessment systems, service quality, and perception of taxpayers on taxation sanctions on taxpayer compliance which is moderated by the awareness of taxpayers. This study takes the population of individual and corporate taxpayers who carry out their obligations at KPP Pratama Surakarta. The sampling method was carried out using purposive sampling and the number of samples was determined as many as 150 respondents. The analysis method used is Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with AMOS software (Santoso, 2018). This research is expected to provide empirical information about the effect of understanding the implementation of self-assessment systems, service quality, taxpayer perceptions of tax penalties on taxpayer awareness. The influence of WP awareness on WP compliance. The awareness function of taxpayers mediates the influence of the understanding of the implementation of the self assessment system, service quality, the perception of taxpayers on taxation sanctions and affects taxpayers' compliance. The conclusion of the study is to empirically prove that taxpayer compliance is largely determined by the level of taxpayer awareness, the higher the taxpayer's awareness will have an impact on the higher taxpayer compliance and vice versa. Meanwhile, taxpayer awareness is strongly influenced by the perception of taxpayers about tax sanctions, not influenced by the understanding of the implementation of the self-assessment system or the quality of service so that it proves This research also proves that taxpayer awareness is proven to fully mediate the influence between perceptions of tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance and does not mediate the influence between the understanding of the implementation of the self assessment system, service quality on mandatory compliance.

ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN KEPEMIMPINAN DITINJAU DARI KARAKTERISTIK DAN PENGALAMAN ( STUDI KASUS DI MV.PAN GLOBAL)

Antonius Dicky Satriaji, 2017, 50134832 N "Comparison of leadership roles in terms of characteristics and experience (Case study in MV Pan Global)", Thesis of Nautical Study Program, Diploma IV Program, Merchant Marine Polytechnic Semarang, First Supervisor : Capt. H. Suherman, M.Mar, the Second Supervisor : Sri Purwantini, SE, S.Pd, MM
Leadership is important in an organization. Either profit organization or non profit. In all life a group needs a leader. To be a leader must go through various stages so as to be a good leader not born but made, the process of making someone a leader is called the science of leadership. Leadership can not be separated by discipline, because it is a very close relationship.
This thesis is an exposition, the research to explain and explain the object under study. The data used is data that has been collected at the time of the author carry out the practice screen for one year. The data obtained will be processed and arranged systematically and regularly.
In solving the problem, the authors argue that all officers on board must apply good leadership characteristics and instill discipline in them first. A good boss must also understand leadership based on management theory, and make experience as learning.
The frequent misunderstanding over the MV. Pan Global when ABK received orders from officers. This is due to the large number of officers who do not use the approach or give a firm assignment that causes saturation and even a rebellious nature of the order.
Finally the authors can draw the conclusions of the elements in the role of leadership on the ship are closely related to the success in achieving common goals.

African dance in England: spirituality and continuity
No full textBetween the 17th and 20th centuries, the British misunderstood African cultural practices and reported on those in derogatory terms. With other European nations they projected Africans as ‘savages’ without any cultural traditions and consistently devalued traditional African religions and dances. Those views have seeped into the psychology of the British mentality and specifically, may have negatively influenced African dance development in the UK.
This thesis seeks to address those issues through a re-examination of the literature and a re-appraisal of Africa’s religions and dance forms. It will illustrate that in spite of he continuous attempts to decimate African cultural expression, Africa’s cultural practices survived and re-emerged in the Caribbean through slavery and through vibrate practice. The adaptation of the forms in their new environment, especially through adopting some aspects of Christian worship, nurtured alternative ways that later enabled the forms to find expression, as theatrical dance, in the UK.
The thesis is informed by international field trips, through the use of video and Internet sources, from attendances at African and Caribbean cultural events, through a wide range of secondary sources and from interviews spanning over twelve years. It is presented in two main sections. section one includes the Introduction and chapters One and Two. The Introduction provides a backdrop of current issues in African dance development and chapters One and Two provide a framework of African cultural practice on the continent and in the Caribbean, indicating how European perceptions of the people and their practices skewed the truth. Chapters Three and Four provide a detailed account of African dance development over the past fifth years through the activities of performance companies and support agencies. Chapter Five investigates dance development in the UK, specifically focusing on the works of two London-based choreographers and exploring how their spiritually determines their practice
