(iii) The involvement of the DPRD in the dissemination or socialization of draft regulations and local regulations is a form of optimization of the functions and authority of the legislative body in forming local regulations.

KURIKULUM MERDEKA IN TWO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS: ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN EFL CLASSROOM

Components in the curriculum are altered and developed as the curriculum progresses. The developments are crucial aspects of the curriculum. Every change and progress that happens during the development of it should be investigated. Thus, there is a need for more research and literature that focus on the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka and its impact on English Education in Indonesia. The lack of research about Kurikulum Merdeka happens because it is a new program that requires more studies and investigations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in two different Senior High Schools, its impact on the teaching and learning English process, and a comparison of the implementation curriculum in the two schools. The research used qualitative research design. The Interview was the instrument used to gain the data in this research. The result found that the first school mixed the 2013 and Kurikulum Merdeka. The second school fully implemented and Profil Pelajar Pancasila. The difficulties of implementing it were related to English course time allocation and students’ different interests in learning English. This study implies that teachers can prepare themselves to avoid problems and difficulties found in this research by finding solutions and strategies when encountering similar difficulties during teaching and learning.

THE USE OF SKETCH-TO-STRETCH STRATEGY TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ LISTENING COMPREHENSION

This study aimed at investigating whether or not there was any significant difference in listening comprehension achievement between before and after the students were taught by using Sketch-to-Stretch strategy, and to find out whether or not there was any significant difference in listening comprehension achievement between the students who were taught by using Sketch-to-Stretch strategy and those who were not. The population of the study was the eleventh grade students of SMA N 18 Palembang with a total number of 265 students. The two classes were chosen as the samples of the study by using purposive sampling method. In collecting the data, the pre-test and post-test were given to both groups. The data were analysed by using paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test. The results of paired samples t-test showed that the p-value (0.000) was lower than 0.05, therefore the null hypothesis (Ho1) was rejected while the alternative hypothesis (Ha1) was accepted. Thus there was a significant difference in listening comprehension achievement before and after the students were taught by using Sketch-to-Stretch strategy. The results of independent samples t-test showed that p-value (0.000) was lower than 0.05, then the null hypothesis (Ho1) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha1) was accepted. Thus, there was a significant difference in listening comprehension between the students who were taught by using Sketch-to-Stretch strategy and those who were not.

Analisis Kompetensi Rekrutmen Pejabat Pemerintah Kabupaten Gorontalo

The appointment of civil servants in government structural positions is based on competence so that placement in government structural positions using the merit system considers aspects of qualifications, competence, and good performance. This research aims to analyze managerial, technical and socio-cultural competencies in the aspects of knowledge, skills, attitudes of officials who will be placed in the Gorontalo Regency government. The research approach uses qualitative methods, data collection is done through interviews, participatory observation, field notes, and document studies. Data analysis used an interactive model with three steps: condensing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions or verification. Data condensation refers to the process of selecting, narrowing down, simplifying, summarizing, and transforming data. The findings in this research in the recruitment of Gorontalo Regency Government officials have referred to Law Number 5 of 2014, Regent Regulation Number 10 of 2017 which emphasizes aspects of technical competence, managerial competence and socio-cultural competence. In addition, the regulation also refers to the recruitment of officials who also pay attention to other aspects of competence such as integrity, cooperation, communication and skills. However, there are still interventions by groups of people who support candidates without regard to competence and educational background. Furthermore, in the mutation of structural officials in central and regional government agencies, although it has been carried out in accordance with statutory provisions, there is still political intervention. This research suggests that ASN must have adaptation competence or the ability to adjust to new or changing situations

TEMPORAL PARADOX IN THE FILM THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE (2009)

This research paper aims to examine the temporal paradoxes portrayed in the film The Time Traveler's Wife (2009), a cinematic adaptation of the 2003 Audrey Niffenegger's novel of the same name. The film follows the story of Henry, an involuntary time traveler who, uncontrollably and unpredictably, travels through his life timeline. As he travels back and forward in time, Henry occasionally meets his wife, Clare, through her different stages of life, starting with her as a six-year-old child. The occasions in Henry's time-travelling life create some temporal paradoxes in both Henry's and Clare's life timelines. A temporal paradox occurs when there is an apparent or logical self-contradiction as a result of the idea of time travel, further classified into bootstrap paradoxes, grandfather (or consistency) paradoxes, and Newcomb's paradox. This study takes the data of lines from the film’s screenplay, written by Bruce Joel Rubin, that express or imply temporal paradoxes. The film touches upon all three types of paradoxes in different degrees. Bootstrap paradoxes include: (1) the meeting of Henry and Clare; (2) winning the lottery and buying the house; (3) the meeting of Henry and Dr Kendrick, a geneticist who helps Henry's Chrono-Impairment disorder condition; and (4) the naming of Alba, their only daughter. Each of the bootstrap paradoxes involves a causal loop–events whose causes are their own effects. The grandfather paradox deals with Henry’s inability to change the past despite being a time traveler who can travel back to the past. Newcomb’s paradox discusses all of the paradoxes and their relation to free will, especially Clare’s choice to marry Henry. By engaging with elements of time travel in a film, this paper offers a new insight into research on time travel narratives in literary works. Keywords: Temporal paradox, time travel, causal loops, bootstrap paradox, grandfather paradox, Newcomb’s parado

Persepsi Dokter Klinik Dalam Menggunakan Rekam Medis Elektronik Berbasis Cloud Computing: Survei Penggunaan rekmed.com

Background : The use of electronic medical records (EMR), including cloud computing-based EMR, is widely increasing. However, data regarding the perception of physicians using cloud computing-based EMR in Indonesia is still limited. Objective: This study aims to determine the perception of clinical doctors in using EMR based on cloud computing. Methods: This is a cross sectional study with a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design approach to determine the perception of clinicians in using cloud computing-based EMR. Qualitative analysis is used to support the depth of quantitative data analysis. Result: There are 10 private clinic doctors who participate. The average value of respondents' satisfaction after using cloud computing-based EMR is 7.4 from a scale of 1-10, with a median value of 8. In the analysis of interest in using cloud computing-based EMR in the long term, it was found that 30% of respondents said "yes", and 70% said "maybe". Qualitative data show that the problems in using EMR are the high price of the EMR system, security and privacy, the display is still limited, and the need for a stable internet network. Conclusion: The use of cloud computing-based EMR by clinicians still meet a number of obstacles. Further development is needed to increase the satisfaction and interest of doctors using RME based on cloud computingKeywords: electronic medical records, cloud computing, clinical physicians, perceptio
