Pertanggung Jawaban Notaris Akibat Adanya Pemalsuan Identitas Diri Debitor dalam Akta Perjanjian Kredit pada Bank

The importance of writing authentic credit contract as strong and legal evidence is legal guarantee for the parties involved in the contract. In drawing up a deed, a Notary has to adjust the evidence of the person(s) appearing to the other evidence. The research used legal normative method by analyzing legal provisions and conducting interviews with informants as the source persons. The position of a notarial deed as the law for those who make it is that a Notary was liable for any evidence before him in drawing up the deeds which were gathered in the minute of the deed. When the fraud is made by the Notary himself so that someone is harmed and it violates public interest, he is liable either for civil law or for criminal law. Administrative sanction will be imposed on a Notary who is careless in receiving and examining the evidence from debtors. The sanctions are in the forms of oral notice, written notice, honorable discharge, and dishonorable discharge. Legal protection for a Notary is regulated normatively in the prevailing laws and regulation. In drawing up a deed, a Notary should pay attention to the UUJN. He does not need to be in a hurry in drawing up a deed and giving facility to the persons appearing with the reasons of providing services and trust. He and his staf as witnesses should remind to one another if he forgets to attach the identities of the persons appearing in the minutes of the deed

Computer Based Learning in the Malay Language for Children with Dyslexia

The aim of this project is to develop a multimedia learning aid (SpleXia) to facilitate Malay word recognition, recall and usage by dyslexic children, based on studies of cognitive information processing. The objective is to demonstrate a 15% improvement in word recognition and replication, over a two-week period with SpleXia, among dyslexic children. Dyslexia is a condition where an individual having difficulties reading because the brain does not able to recognize and process certain symbols. The idea of this project arose from a needs assessment of the reading problems faced by dyslexic children, which affects their performance in daily life and academic enviromnents. Current therapeutic approaches to the treatment of dyslexia in Malaysia are often ineffective as they usually involve drill-based activity that-creates stress for children, parents and therapists during clinical sessions as well as the special education teachers in remedial classes. Such approaches also often foster an over-dependence on teachers, excluding independent self-learning by children and participatory involvement by parents. The reason why SpleXia targets to aid dyslexic children to improve their reading skill in Malay is because Malay is the national language of Malaysia thus it is being used widely in this country. Besides, the needs assessment also revealed a shortage of computer-based learning aids for dyslexic children in the Malay language. Benchmarking of existing Malay educational software was carried out. The application developed in this study is differentiated by (1) the placement of word cues in enviromnental settings, and (2) a stronger linkage between cues and relevant interests within the target age group. The target user of SpleXia is dyslexic children aged between 7-11 years old. According to Piaget' s cognitive development theory, children that belong to this age group are at the concrete operational stage where they see things in logical and abstract manner. They have started to understand that every object has its own characteristic and behaviour. Therefore, they are the most suitable users for SpleXia. Meanwhile, the research for this project will focus on: (1) remediation of language disorder, specifically developmental reading disorder or dyslexia, and (2) the application of multimedia technology suitable for dyslexic children, based on studies of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The methodology employed for this project was the incremental development paradigm whereby the system was developed in stages according to user needs requirements and integrated towards the end of the development. Preliminary user testing revealed a 14% increase in word recognition and a 8% increase in word replication over a one-administration trial. Users reported that the system they subjectively perceived the application as "attractive", "fun" and "beneficial". Results can be extrapolated to suggest that long-term improvements in language performance might be anticipated over a longer administration period and additional sessional trials of the application. The research finding shows an improvement in target users' reading ability after using SpleXia for two weeks thus proving that SpleXia can be useful for dyslexic children in Malaysia and computerbased learning can revolutionize the traditional therapeutic approach for special needs children

Tugas akhir dengan judul studi eksperimen perilaku lentur komposit beton baja ringan dan beton bertulang dengan variasi ketinggian penampang dengan pembebanan monotonik inimembahas tentang perbandinganperilaku lentur beton dengan tulangan konvensional dan beton yang menggunakan baja ringan lipped channel. Spesimen yang diuji memiliki bentang 2000 mm dengan lebar spesimen 150 mm.Spesimen yang akan diuji terdiri dari 10 spesimen dengan variasi tinggi 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, 200 mm dan 300 mm. Spesimen terdiri dari dua model model pertama menggunakan tulangan konvensional 2D13 dan model kedua menggunakan dua buah baja ringan lipped channel dengan tebal 0,75 mm. Spesimen tersebut kemudian diletakkan diatas tumpuan sederhana, yang kemudian akan diuji dengan four point bending dengan pembebanan monotonik. Setelah melakukan pengujian terlihat bahwa spesimen yang menggunakan baja konvensional mengalami retak lebih dulu dibandingkan spesimen baja ringan. Selain itu terjadi peningkatan nilai kapasitas lentur, kekakuan dan daktilitas jika menggunakan baja ringan. Hasil eksperimental menunjukkan dengan menggunakan baja ringan adanya indikasi peningkatan kapasitas momen lentur sebesar 37,50 %, peningkatan kekakuan 44,42%
