Cone Penetration Testing For Field Density Prediction

This paper summarizes an experimental program for developing a pilot procedure to check and predict field densities of compacted soils using static cone penetration tests. Three sandy soils were tested. The testing program included both laboratory and field tests. On the basis of laboratory tests, density prediction curves were developed while field results were used to find a correlation to predict densities on the basis of measured penetration resistances. The results are rather encouraging and promising. It is anticipated that the presented methodology would be very effective for compaction quality control in large areas of sandy soils because it is fast, simple and causes minimum disturbance to the compacted soil

Dynamics of Male and Female Social Interactions in Students with Intellectual Disabilities during Puberty

This research aimed to determine the understanding and experiences of students with intellectual disabilities regarding social interactions of the opposite gender during puberty. The focus was on comprehending these interactions and identifying associated risk and protective factors. A qualitative method was used, incorporating the Miles and Huberman analysis model as well as triangulating data through interviews and observations. The results showed that students with intellectual disabilities tended to imitate social interaction behaviors of the opposite gender observed in the surroundings including media such as TV and YouTube. Schools also played an important role in managing the protective factors within these interactions for students with intellectual disabilities. Measures implemented included reproductive health training, assigning proactive teachers to students, providing education on the boundaries of social interactions of the opposite gender, and installing CCTV to monitor and prevent negative behaviors. The actions were intended to mitigate the adverse effects of social interactions, particularly those including opposite-gender relationships

The impact of human resource management practices in innovation culture Case Study: Bank of Palestine in Gaza strip

The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of correlation between HRM practices and innovation culture and the degree of the impact of each HRM practice on the innovation culture. Data of this study are obtained from Bank Of Palestine (BoP), triangulation mixed method is used in this study, by using quantitative and qualitative analysis in order to get three points upon the factors being studied through questionnaires distributed to BoPs' employees in different branches in Gaza strip, and interview with the HR manager of BoP and a focus group with BoP's HR team. The results of this study concluded that there is a correlation between HRM practices and innovation culture. The HRM practices, which include staffing process, compensation, employee and labor relations, training and development, safety and health and communication, and participation, should be implemented in a holistic system and not in isolation in order to best stimulate innovation culture. The study recommended the pre-evaluation tests should be changed to better measure employees' creativity, flexibility and ability to take risks which all lead to a better innovation culture

Sejarah dan Tantangan Eksistensi Siaran Radio (Broadcasting) Indonesia di Era Digitalisasi

  Radio siaran (broadcasting) sering disebut sebagai institusi kemasyarakatan seperti media massa pada umumnya. Eksistensi dari radio sendiri sudah mulai terguncang dengan adanya kemudahan dalam akses internet. Menjamurnya portal berita online yang bisa diakses kapan saja dan di mana saja melalui smartphone pribadi membuat radio tidak lagi menjadi alternatif utama dalam sumber penerimaan informasi masyarakat. Artikel  ini bertujuan untuk mengulas tentang sejarah siaran radio (broadcasting) Indonesia dan Tantangan Eksistensi siaran radio (broadcasting) di era digitalisasi. Metode penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif. Pada pengumpulan data, teknik yang digunakan ialah melalui library research yaitu mengumpulkan data dari literature-leteratur. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Perkembangan penyiaran radio di Indonesia diawali pada masa pemerintahan Hindia Belanda pada tahun 1925 oleh Prof. Komans dan Dr. De Groot yang berhasil melakukan komunikasi radio dengan menggunakan stasiun relai di Malabar, Jawa Barat. Peristiwa ini kemudian diikuti dengan berdirinya Batavia Radio Vereniging dan NIROM. Penyiaran radio di Indonesia dimulai dengan berkembangnya radio amatir yang menggunakan perangkat pemancar radio sederhana yang mudah dirakit. Tidak selamanya suatu perubahan menjadi tantangan dalam radio mempertahankan eksistensinya, tetapi justru bisa dimaanfaatkan sebagai peluang untuk kemajuan teknologi radio yang lebih berguna

The Emergence of New Islamic Economic and Business Moralities

This article aims to explore the sources of the observed transformation in the embeddedness of economic, business, and financial practices of Muslim individuals in comparison to premodern period Muslims. It argues that the predomination of instrumental reasoning in modern times, as opposed to substantive morality in everyday practice, is one of the main reasons behind the transformation of embeddedness of Muslim individuals. Instrumental reasoning, being the dominant methodology, leads to diminished submergence in social relations; that is not limited to interpersonal relationships, but further extended to the core religious acts. How such an emergent economic and business morality is reconciled with the Islamic substantive morality is examined. It is argued that “transformation of exception into norm” is the main method used to reconcile instrumental reasoning with Islamic law in fulfilling religious obligations, at least in terms of fulfilling the form and in complying with the necessities of modern life. This has led to the emergence of new economic and business moralities
