ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT DI SINGAPURA

Penanaman modal adalah tahap pertama untuk perkembangan ekonomi, maka penanaman modal adalah faktor penting dan roda penggerak untuk pembangunan khususnya penanaman modal luar negeri. Sumber pendanaan lain yang bersumber dari pihak asing yang menolong perkembangan ekonomi di suatu negara yaitu FDI. Penanaman modal sangat penting untuk memacu perkembangan dinegara-negara karena dapat membantu memperbesar lapangan kerja, memperbesar penerimaan, memajukan teknologi, perkembangan sosial ekonomi. FDI suatu negara dipengaruhi oleh sejumlah faktor. Tujuan dari dilakukannya temuan ini adalah untuk memahami dan menganalisa dampak untuk jangka panjang ataupun jangka pendek PDB, interest rate, dan nilai tukar kepada FDI di Singapura pada periode 1985-2020. Populasi pada temuan ini yaitu negara Singapura. Sampel yang dipakai untuk temuan ini adalah periode 1985-2020 dapat disimpulkan terdapat 35 observer. Jenis data yang dipakai untuk temuan ini yakni data sekunder, yang diambil dari Bank Dunia. Metode penelitian yang dipakai yaitu ECM dengan bantuan software Eviews 10. Variabel bebas pada temuan ini ialah PDB, suku bunga dan kurs kemudian variabel dependennya yaitu FDI Singapura periode 1985-2020. Berdasarkan temuan estimasi dan uji statistik, FDI di Singapura selama tahun 1985 hingga 2020 dipengaruhi secara signifikan dan negatif oleh variabel interest rate dalam jangka pendek, tetapi secara positif dan signifikan dipengaruhi oleh PDB dalam jangka panjang. Investment is the first stage for economic development, so investment is an important factor and cog for development, especially foreign investment. Another source of funding from foreign parties that helps the economic development of a country is FDI. Investment is very important to spur development in countries because it can help increase employment, increase income, advance technology, socio-economic development. A country\u27s FDI is influenced by a number of factors. The purpose of this finding is to understand and analyze the long-term and short-term impact on GDP, interest rates and exchange rates for FDI in Singapore in the 1985-2020 period. The population in this finding is Singapore. The sample used for this finding is the period 1985-2020. It can be concluded that there were 35 observers. The type of data used for this finding is secondary data, taken from the World Bank. The research method used is ECM with the help of Eviews 10 software. The independent variables in this finding are GDP, interest rates and exchange rates and the dependent variable is Singapore FDI for the 1985-2020 period. Based on estimation findings and statistical tests, FDI in Singapore from 1985 to 2020 was significantly and negatively affected by interest rate variables in the short term, but positively and significantly affected by GDP in the long term

Separable User Interface Architectures in Teaching Object Technology

This paper concerns the critical role of separable user interface design in teaching object-oriented systems. M206 "Computing: An Object-oriented Approach" is a large-scale university-level introduction to software development designed from scratch for distance learning, using an objects-first approach with Smalltalk. The course is degree-level, counting as one sixth, and is being offered in the UK, Western Europe and Singapore. To address the needs of industry we have developed a radical syllabus that adheres to the principle of designing complex systems by separating view and model, and have developed a programming and learning environment to support these ideas. In the paper we examine how separable user interface architectures have guided our teaching of object technology and the design of powerful microworlds that are both usable and extendible by neophytes. The course and relevant teaching with software is outlined and the technical design and pedagogic use of the microworlds and GUI builder tool are described

A method for the development of Dublin Core Application Profiles (Me4DCAP V0.2): detailed description

Our research in progress project aims the design of a method for the development of Dublin Core Application Profiles (Me4DCAP). This paper describes Me4DCAP V0.2, an early version of a method for the development of DCAP. The development of Me4DCAP was based on a Design Science Research methodological approach and has as starting points the Singapore framework for DCAP and the Rational Unified Process; integrates knowledge from: (i) the practices of the metadata community concerning DCAP development, and (ii) software development processes and techniques, focusing on the early stages of the processes that deal with data modeling. Me4DCAP establishes a way for the development of a DCAP. It establishes which are the activities, when they should take place, how they interconnect, and which deliverables they will bring about; it also suggests which techniques should be used to build these deliverables.This work is sponsored by FEDER funds through the Competitivity Factors Operational Programme - COMPETE and by National funds through FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of the project: FCOMP-01-0124-FFEDER-022674.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Employee behavior among expatriates in Scope International (M) Sdn Bhd / Muhammad Aswad Md Nor

Scope International is the Standard Chartered Group’s Global Technology & Operations Hub. A wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank, United Kingdom, Scope International is the first Global Shared Services Centre of an international bank in Malaysia. Established in 2001, Scope International provides a wide range of services to the Standard Chartered Bank in more than 70 countries worldwide. They comprise software and systems development, wholesale and consumer banking operations, contact centre, I.T. and Helpdesk services. Scope’s software division, International Software Centre Malaysia (ISCM) houses the largest software development centre and largest software testing facility in Malaysia. Scope International Malaysia currently employs more than 3,000 employees. With such a large number of employees, there surely is a variety of behavior among employees especially from expatriates from India and Singapore. But as a reputable company, Scope International Malaysia must distinguish themselves over other bank regardless of international bank or local bank in term of behavior of their employees. The research conducted is made to find whether the employees from India and Singapore have the behavior that the company wanted that is the Supportive, Smart, Courageous, Passionate and Reliable (S2CPR) behavior. This behavior will determine whether Scope International Malaysia has distinguished themselves among their competitor in the banking industry in Malaysia

Governing autonomous vehicles: emerging responses for safety, liability, privacy, cybersecurity, and industry risks

The benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely acknowledged, but there are concerns about the extent of these benefits and AV risks and unintended consequences. In this article, we first examine AVs and different categories of the technological risks associated with them. We then explore strategies that can be adopted to address these risks, and explore emerging responses by governments for addressing AV risks. Our analyses reveal that, thus far, governments have in most instances avoided stringent measures in order to promote AV developments and the majority of responses are non-binding and focus on creating councils or working groups to better explore AV implications. The US has been active in introducing legislations to address issues related to privacy and cybersecurity. The UK and Germany, in particular, have enacted laws to address liability issues, other countries mostly acknowledge these issues, but have yet to implement specific strategies. To address privacy and cybersecurity risks strategies ranging from introduction or amendment of non-AV specific legislation to creating working groups have been adopted. Much less attention has been paid to issues such as environmental and employment risks, although a few governments have begun programmes to retrain workers who might be negatively affected.Comment: Transport Reviews, 201
