A Problem of Information System Integration At a University in Indonesia
No full textAlmost all higher education information systems in Indonesia have experienced a problem. The challenge of university data management systems is how to integrate data subsystems in the university's internal environment. This can hinder the process of continuing the university's services. Higher education information systems usually include academic, financial, teaching staff, and graduate information systems. Not all universities have integrated the information system sub-sub. As a result, data duplication and data are out of sync. Data is essential in universities because every year, universities have to manage the data of thousands of students. For this reason, an integrated higher education information system is needed. The research method used in this article is a qualitative descriptive method by describing the facts that occurred. The author uses data collection techniques to study literature by looking for relevant and reliable references. After the authorities were collected, the writer analyzed the data qualitatively. At the end of this article, the author provides a solution to integrate higher education information systems

No full textKarakteristik Siklus Estrus Domba Garut Dara
No full textTujuan penelitian mengetahui karakteristik siklus estrus domba garut dara dengan pengamatan tingkah laku estrus domba garut dara, sitologi vagina, pengamatan perkembangan folikel dan CL, serta pengukuran konsentrasi hormon P4. Penelitian ini menggunakan lima ekor domba garut dara dengan usia 6–7 bulan dan berat badan berkisar 17–21 Kg. Pengambilan data tingkah laku, sitologi vagina, ultrasonografi ovarium dan analisis hormon P4 dilakukan selama dua siklus estrus dengan interval tiga hari sekali. Data dianalisis menggunakan analysis of variance (ANOVA). Hasil penelitian sel superfisial mencapai persentase tertinggi pada periode estrus sebesar 50,08±11,57% dengan diameter folikel ovulatorik 0,61±0,02 cm dan konsentrasi hormon P4 pada level terendah 3,86±1,62 ng/mL. Setelah ovulasi, terjadi penurunan sel superfisial dan peningkatan sel parabasal dan sel intermediat. Persentase tertinggi sel parabasal dan sel intermediat sampai fase luteal dengan diameter CL 0,822±0,194 cm dan konsentrasi hormon P4 mencapai level maksimal 24,49±13,27 ng/mL. Tingkah laku estrus domba garut dara tidak teramati dengan jelas adanya perubahan pada alat kelamin luar. Siklus estrus domba garut dara sulit dideteksi hanya dengan melihat tingkah laku saja. Siklus estrus domba garut dara dapat diamati berdasarkan gambaran sel epitel vagina, konsentrasi hormon P4, serta hubungannya dengan perkembangan folikel dan CL
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF MULTI-USER SYSTEM ABC
No full textPersonal Computer (PC) at the current rapid development. Not only used for private purposes but also for business. To meet the needs of data communications, and now PCs can be linked in a network (network) are integrated in a limited location, called Local Area Networks (LAN). The concept of multi-user system is used by banks in the process of saving the ABC. But whether multi-user LAN system has many advantages compared with the mini machine? Authors in this study tried to owned by the Local Area Network (LAN). The author conducted research in several stages, library research, data collection, data processing and analysis of research
More resources needed to make sense of JI
No full textIndonesia’s struggle is also our challenge, argues Greg Barton, author of a new book on Jemaah Islamiyah
THE car bomb exploding at the gates of our embassy in Jakarta last week was shocking but it was not surprising. With key leaders and master bomb makers like Dr Azahari Husein and Noordin Mohamad Top at large it was only a matter of time before Jemaah Islamiyah, the jihadi Islamist terrorist group almost certainly behind last Thursday’s blast, struck again. But this makes it no less a tragedy for the primary victims of attack, the ten Indonesians who died and the 180 or so who were horribly injured, or any less confronting for all of us. It challenges us with the inevitable question: are we doing enough to stop this?
A simple ‘yes’ is never going to suffice with a matter like this. So let’s review our progress. Although we tend to overlook it, there is a lot of good news here. Every bombing forces us to ask why were not able to prevent it happening but by definition we seldom hear of successful interventions. Imagine for a moment what might have been. What would have happened if Indonesian police had not established the link between Bali bomber Amrozi and the twisted remnants of his murderous minivan? What we do know is that the remarkable success of the Bali bombing investigation led to the arrest of more than 300 JI operatives and the significant crippling of a formidable international terrorist network that we scarcely knew anything about prior to the attack in Bali on 12 October 2002. This success undoubtedly saved many lives, perhaps hundreds, by stopping JI from carrying out further attacks that it had been planning.
The suicide bombing of the Marriott Hotel in August last year and this new attack are reminders that JI remains a dangerous force. It also reminds us that JI is in the business of rebuilding. Almost everyone in Indonesian is just as appalled by JI’s terrorist activities as we are in Australia. Nevertheless a very small number of young people in Indonesia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia are vulnerable to being persuaded by JI that the manifold evils and injustices of this frequently sad little planet all have a common origin and a simple cure. JI has made good use of film-makers as well as bomb-makers. It has produced powerful propaganda films about communal violence in Maluku, spliced with moving images about the sufferings of Muslims around the world, to reach out to the angry and the naive and recruit them to its cause. It understands what it takes to turn youthful zealotary into murderous idealism.
The good news is that cooperation between the Australian Federal Police and the Indonesian police since the Bali bombing has greatly weakened JI and led to Australia making substantial investments in the region, such as the counter-terrorism center located alongside the national police academy in Semarang, Central Java. Hundreds of millions of dollars of fresh counter-terrorism investments have been made in Australian government agencies meaning that we are better prepared than ever before to struggle against terrorism in our region.
The not so good news is that we are yet to make the strategic investments that we need to in building our human capacity to understand and work within our region. A billion of dollars of satellite surveillance and signals monitoring hardware is of very little use without the human expertise to translate and interpret the flood of raw data pulled out of the air every hour. Making sense of the patterns in this data requires a different kind of expertise again. We need to replace and increase the level of knowledge of Asian societies and Muslim communities in our universities and research institutions if we are to begin have the capacity we need to make sense of our challenging environment. We need to be producing many more Asia-literate university graduates than we are now if we are to be able to truly understand our part of the world and develop durable and effective partnerships across the region. Moreover, we urgently need to understand the sociological and psychological dynamics within JI and the radical Islamist fringe if we are to effectively respond to its potential to rebuild and evolve.
Fortunately, when the bombs went off in Bali two years ago AFP commissioner Mick Keelty already had good working relationship with senior Indonesian police officers such as I Made Mangku Pastika, who was appointed to head up the post-bombing investigation. Fortunately, Graham Ashton, whom Keelty called soon after the bombing to head up the AFP investigation team, is fluent in Indonesian and has an expert understanding of Southeast Asian cultural subtleties. Were this not the case the outcome could easily have been very much less good.
With only three per cent of our university students studying an Asian language and only five per cent studying an aspect of Asia at all we need to be doing a great deal more if we want to be sure of continued good news in what will certainly be a very long struggle against terrorism in our region. Labor’s pledge to invest $64 million in the teaching Asian languages is a good start. A substantial counter-offer from the coalition would signal that we are finally waking up to the full range of the challenges facing us.
