Determinants of Corporate Performance: A Study on Furniture Companies in Jepara Indonesia

The aims of this research were to analyze corporate performance through learning orientation, leader’s characteristics, market orientation, and innovation in furniture industries in Jepara, Indonesia. The samples in this research were 110 small and medium enterprises. Based on SEM analysis results, the seven research hypothesis used were; (1) learning orientation has significant effect on corporate performance; (2) learning orientation has significant effect on innovation; (3) leader’s characteristics do not have significant effect on corporate performance; (4) leader’s characteristics have significant effect on innovation; (5) market orientation has significant effect on innovation; (6) market orientation has significant effect on corporate performance; (7) Innovation does not have significant effect on corporate performance. After the test and analysis, it was found that five out of the seven hypotheses were accepted and two out of them were rejected

Relationship Between Chlorophyll-a and Sea Surface Temperature to Tuna Catch in the Southern Water of Java

The Southern Waters of Java included in 573 WPP has high fishing activity, which the most important commodity is Tuna. The number of Tuna catch are fluctuated which influenced by oceanography factors in the waters. Some of the factors that affect the catch are sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a, so this study aimed to determine the distribution, fluctuations in SST and chlorophyll-a, and its relationship to the Tuna catch. SST and chlorophyll-a data were downloaded from NASA, and Tuna catch data in 2017 was collected from Cilacap Fishing Port. The relationship between SST and chlorophyll-a with the catch was analyzed with cross correlation analysis. Distribution of SST and chlorophyll-a was higher in the east part and coastal areas compared to the western and offshore parts. SST and chlorophyll-a fluctuations are inversely proportional but have a very close relationship. SST in the western season and transition 1 an increase then a decline in the east season and transition II, while chlorophyll-a in the western season and transition I is lower than in the east season and transition II. The highest correlation between SST and catch in the time lag -3, while chlorophyll-a in the lag time -4

Reliable Wireless Sensor Network Planning with Multipath Topology through Relay Placement Optimization

Recent developments in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) focus on scalability and reliability. This research addresses the challenge of improving reliability in WSNs through optimal relay placement and multipath topology design. A heuristic method with a Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) approach is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed method integrates a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) characteristics. The hybrid approach aims to minimize the number of relays and associated communication costs while maintaining network reliability. The method encodes relay positions and quantities into GA chromosomes that are updated by mutation, crossover, and PSO-inspired particle motion. Simulations are performed in a simplified square area with twenty randomly placed sensors, a hundred and thirty-two arranged relays, and a single sink node. As a result, the simulation generated two multipath topologies that offer unique advantages. The first emphasizes relay efficiency (61 relays, with 2096 costs), while the second ensures lower communication costs (64 relays, 1832 costs). Comparisons with alternative algorithms, including Dijkstra, A-star, GA, and PSO, prove the superiority of the proposed approach. The optimum results obtained with a composition of 95% GA and 5% PSO, outperform alternative algorithms in terms of relay efficiency and communication cost. This research contributes to the field by providing a robust solution for designing reliable multipath WSNs with a minimum number of relays

تحليل بنود و الإختبار النهاء المعيار المادة اللغاة العربية

In learning Arabic at school, there must be an end result. The final result is in the form of questions that are used to determine the final value in learning during their journey. This study aims to analyze the exam or final result in learning Arabic. The goal, so that Arabic language teachers are able to make good measuring tools in measuring student understanding, this study uses a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, with data collection models obtained from student question sheets. then reduce the data, present the data, and draw conclusions to serve as the final conclusion. In the deaf test, this type of written test, the test applied is in the form of multiple choice ytes. In the test there are items in which each question has a choice of answers. In the first question, the teacher asks questions about understanding. So that students do not only know the rules of the Arabic language being studied. In the second question the teacher gives questions that require students to analyze the questions to find answers. However, because this final result test is in the form of multiple choice, students only need to choose the answer asked by the teacher
