    The paper explains about the comparison between cooperative learning methods and problem based learning using personal letter in teaching students’ ability in writing skill. Experiment study at SMA Sebelas Maret Bandung. The method of this research is experiment quasi concerning experiment class was given learning treatment by using cocoperative learning methods meanwhile control class was given learning by using problem based learning. Student ability in writing sklill is measure by questionnaire or test. Result of the research peove that student ability in writing who teach by cooperative learning methods same as the student who teach problem based learning. The T’test means that the null hypothesis accepted, there is no difference in the ability of the initial writing of the experimental class and the control class. Some difficulties of students; lack of vocabulary, can’t write content is well, hard to understand the topic, hard to answer the question, and still nervous during discussion. To solve the problems like that the teacher can be a solution. Keywords:  Cooperative Learning Methods, Problem Based Learning, Writing Â

    SIMULATION OF SCOURING AROUND A VERTICAL CYLINDER DUE TO TSUNAMI

    * Corresponding author [email protected] ABSTRACT Local scour due to tsunami is damaging especially on shallow foundation. Although relatively in a short duration, tsunami attack may scour material around buildings that led to destruction. A number of formulae on local scouring due to flood and tsunami have been available. The local scouring pattern and depth produced by tsunami may be affected by tsunami duration and tsunami surge Froude number and hence different to that resulted by flood which normally have much longer duration and lower Froude number. The research used a relatively short flume to create short duration tsunami surge that run-up on 1:20 beach slope and hit a vertical cylinder on land. Both the pattern and the depth of local scouring around the cylinder were observed and the results were compared with similar research but with different tsunami surge characteristic. It was shown that the maximum scour depth was significantly deeper than the final scour depth. When compared with other experimental study of local scour due to tsunami, the present local scour maximum depth seemed to be slightly less. This could have been caused by the relatively short duration of the present experiment. It was also found that the sidewall effect was insignificant when the ratio of cylinder diameter to the flume width was less then approximately 0.15

    The author tries to explain the relationship between relational bonding, customer value, and customer loyalty that mediate the satisfaction and delight on three consumer groups (stayers, dissatisfied switchers, and satisfied switchers) in the Islamic banking industry in East Java, Indonesia. Important insights provided by this study are as follows : (1) Products that meet or exceed customer utilitarian needs will increase customer satisfaction and (2) products that meet or exceed customer hedonic needs will increase customers delight. Data were obtained from sample of 613 customers of Islamic banks in East Java. In addition, there are three important findings. First, for stayers, three types of bondings (financial, social, and structural) increase customers utilitarian and hedonic values, leading to increment of customer loyalty. Second, for dissatisfied switchers, only structural bond that has significant impact on the customer utilitarian value, which significantly will increase customer loyalty. Third, for the satisfied switchers, social bond influences the hedonic value significantly, while the structural bond significantly influences utilitarian value. In addition, utilitarian and hedonic values influence customer loyalty significantly. Keywords: Relationship marketing, delight, Customer loyalty, Utilitarian value; Hedonic value, and Islamic banking
