KAJIAN AWAL PENETAPAN TEKNOLOGI LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT/GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PADA PENGELOLAAN LIMPASAN HUJAN MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM INFORMASI GEOGRAFI (STUDI KASUS : DAS CITARUM HULU BUKAN KOTA)

Abstrak : Meningkatnya pembangunan di DAS Citarum Hulu menyebabkan berkurangnya wilayah resapan air yang mengakibatkan meningkatnya limpasan hujan. Oleh karena itu suatu teknologi pengelolaan limpasan hujan dibutuhkan untuk menahan limpasan hujan agar tidak terjadi banjir dan meningkatkan penyerapan limpasan hujan ke dalam tanah sebagai upaya menjaga ketersediaan air tanah. Low Impact Development adalah paradigma baru pengelolaan air yang menekankan upaya konservasi dan penggunaan fitur alami untuk melindungi kualitas air serta menjaga kesetimbangan hidrologi agar sama kondisinya saat sebelum dan sesudah pembangunan. Dalam penelitian ini, analisa dilakukan dengan menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografi (SIG) untuk menentukan teknologi yang tepat (Best Management Practices) dalam pengelolaan limpasan hujan sesuai dengan konsep LID. Analisa spatial dilakukan terhadap fitur alami DAS Citarum Hulu sesuai dengan kriteria teknologi BMPs yang ditetapkan. Sebagian besar wilayah DAS Citarum Hulu merupakan terrain pegunungan dengan lereng curam (slope>15%) dan 84% wilayahnya merupakan zona resapan air. Jenis tanah dominan di wilayah studi DAS Citarum Hulu, 58% cenderung memiliki laju infiltrasi tinggi, terdiri dari alluvial (16%) dan andosol (42%). Kedalaman air tanah dangkal wilayah studi bervariasi, dipengaruhi kontur, tata guna lahan, zona resapan dan curah hujan. Berdasarkan fitur alami wilayah studi, 43% dari total kelurahan sesuai mengaplikasikan kelompok BMPs yang dapat memenuhi parameter Rev, sedangkan 57% sesuai mengaplikasikan kelompok BMPs yang tidak dapat memenuhi parameter Rev. Recharge volume requirements (Rev) adalah parameter untuk mempertahankan tingkat peresapan air ke dalam tanah yang ada di situs.    Kata Kunci :     BMPs, DAS Citarum Hulu, LID, limpasan hujan , Rev, SIG Abstract : Increased development in The Upstream Citarum River Basin has led to reduce water catchment areas that result in increased runoff. Therefore, stormwater management technologies are needed to prevent flooding and improve absorption of runoff into the ground in an effort to maintain the availability of groundwater. Low Impact Development is a new paradigm of water management that emphasizes conservation and use of natural features to protect water quality and maintain hydrology balance for  same condition as before and after construction. In this study, analysis is done using Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine the right technology (Best Management Practices) in the management of stormwater in accordance with the concept of LID. Natural features in The Upstream Citarum River Basin will be analyzed spatially based on criteria of BMPs. Most area in Upstream Citarum River Basin is mountains with steep slopes (slope> 15% and 84% of  area is water catchment zone. Type of soil that dominates in Upstream Citarum River Basin, 58% tend to has high infiltration rate, consist of alluvial(16%) and andosol(42%). Depth of shallow ground water in study areas has many variations, influenced by contours, landuse, presence of water catchment zone, and rainfall. Based on the natural features of study area, 43% of total villages appropriate to apply BMPs design that can meet parameters of Rev, while 57% appropriate to apply BMPs design that can not meet the Rev. parameter. Recharge volume requirements (Rev) is parameter to maintain existing groundwater recharge rates at sites. Key Words : BMPs, GIS, LID, Rev, runoff , Upstream Citarum River Basi

Semi-automatic assessment of unrestrained Java code: a Library, a DSL, and a workbench to assess exams and exercises

The definitive Version of Record was published in http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2729094.2742615Automated marking of multiple-choice exams is of great interest in university courses with a large number of students. For this reason, it has been systematically implanted in almost all universities. Automatic assessment of source code is however less extended. There are several reasons for that. One reason is that almost all existing systems are based on output comparison with a gold standard. If the output is the expected, the code is correct. Otherwise, it is reported as wrong, even if there is only one typo in the code. Moreover, why it is wrong remains a mystery. In general, assessment tools treat the code as a black box, and they only assess the externally observable behavior. In this work we introduce a new code assessment method that also verifies properties of the code, thus allowing to mark the code even if it is only partially correct. We also report about the use of this system in a real university context, showing that the system automatically assesses around 50% of the work.This work has been partially supported by the EU (FEDER) and the Spanish Ministerio de Economíay Competitividad (Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación) under grant TIN2013-44742-C4-1-R and by the Generalitat Valenciana under grant PROMETEOII2015/013.

Sustainable Higher Education Development through Technology Enhanced Learning

[EN] Higher education is incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at a fast rate for different purposes. Scientific papers include within the concept of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) the myriad applications of information and communication technology, e-resources, and pedagogical approaches to the development of education. TEL¿s specific application to higher education is especially relevant for countries under rapid development for providing quick and sustainable access to quality education (UN sustainable development goal 4). This paper presents the research results of an online pedagogical experience in collaborative academic research for analyzing good practice in TEL-supported higher education development. The results are obtained through a pilot implementation providing curated data on TEL competency¿s development of faculty skills and analysis of developing sustainable higher education degrees through TEL cooperation, for capacity building. Given the increased volume and complexity of the knowledge to be delivered, and the exponential growth of the need for skilled workers in emerging economies, online training is the most effective way of delivering a sustainable higher education. The results of the PETRA Erasmus+ capacity-building project provides evidence of a successful implementation of a TEL-supported methodology for collaborative faculty development focused on future online degrees built collaboratively and applied locally.This research was co-funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ KA2 project "Promoting Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Azerbaijani Universities (PETRA)" project number 573630-EPP-1-2016-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP.Orozco-Messana, J.; Martínez-Rubio, J.; Gonzálvez-Pons, AM.

KM Maturity Factors Affecting High Performance in Universities

This paper aims to measure Knowledge Management Maturity (KMM) in the universities to determine the impact of knowledge management on high performance. This study was applied on Al-Quds Open University in Gaza strip, Palestine. Asian productivity organization model was applied to measure KMM. Second dimension which assess high performance was developed by the authors. The controlled sample was (306). Several statistical tools were used for data analysis and hypotheses testing, including reliability Correlation using Cronbach’s alpha, “ANOVA”, Simple Linear Regression and Step Wise Regression.The overall findings of the current study suggest that KMM is suitable for measuring high performance. KMM assessment shows that maturity level is in level three. Findings also support the main hypothesis and it is sub- hypotheses. The most important factors effecting high performance are: Processes, KM leadership, People, KM Outcomes and Learning and Innovation. Furthermore the current study is unique by the virtue of its nature, scope and way of implied investigation, as it is the first comparative study in the universities of Palestine explores the status of KMM using the Asian productivity Model

Organizational Excellence in Palestinian Universities of Gaza Strip

The research aims to identify the organizational excellence in Palestinian universities of Gaza Strip, from the perspective of senior management. The questionnaires were distributed the top senior management in the Palestinian universities, and the study population was (344) employees in senior management in Palestinian universities. A stratified random sample were selected from of employees in the Palestinian universities consist of (182) employees at return rate of (69.2%). SPSS program for analyzing and processing the data was used. The study reached the following results: the senior management agrees largely on the importance of the axis of "Leadership Excellence" and "Excellence service sectors". The senior management agrees moderately about the importance of the axis of the “Knowledge excellence". The study showed that there is a weakness in the employment of scientific research to serve the community, there is weakness in the follow-up of the universities management for the performance of their graduates in the institutions in which they work. Senior management agrees on the importance of the "Organizational Excellence" moderately. The recommendations of study includes: the need to develop principles and fair criteria for the selection of the best candidates for the university and university leaders based on specialization, competence, experience, skills, integrity and not on the basis of favoritism
