Efisiensi TIME Saving Dalam Penerapan Pembayaran Transaksi Menggunakan E-money

Salah satu penarik faktor kunjungan wisatawan adalah sarana trasnportasi, dengan kemudahan sarana transportasi maka wisatawan dapat menggunakan waktunya secara efisien. Salah satu terobosan yang dianggap efektif dan membantu adalah penerapan e-money dalam pembayaran transportasi umum. Dengan menggunakan sistem e-money maka waktu yang dapat dihemat adalah 2 menit dari rata-rata penggunaan 3 menit dalam kegiatan pembayaran tiket. Kota Surabaya saat ini menyediakan sarana bus “Surabaya Shopping and Culinnary Track (SSCT)” sebagai pengembangan bidang pariwisatanya, bus tersebut membantu wisatawan mengunjungi beberapa tempat wisata, dengan beberapa rute. Peningkatan pelayanan dapat dikembangkan dengan merubah cara pembayaran dari loket manual menjadi pembayaran melalui-e-money. Dari pengguna e-money yang berada di Surabaya efisiensi time savingnya sebesar 5.709.891 menit/ orang/ hari. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan pembayaran transportasi umum yang menggunakan e-money menghasilkan 1.447.299 jam/ tahun saving time. Dimana waktu tersebut ekuivalen dengan 1.880 jam kerja/ orang/ tahun. Sehingga kota Surabaya dapat meningkatkan produktivitas kerja 769 orang/ tahun. Kata Kunci: time saving, e-money, efisiensi waktu, time ekuivale

BUMDES AND ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITIES IN DEVELOPING RURAL ECONOMY

The writing aims answer the challenges of Asean Economic Community (AEC) with improving the role of rural economy through BUMDES (Badan Usaha Milik Desa) as one of the things to be disconnected chain of poverty in rural areas as well as preparing institutional innovative towards the AEC. Innovative institutional BUMDES that has been initiated by BUMDES in the village of Gondowangi is to apply the principle of commercialization but still hold on values of humanity, tranparency and also accountability. The presence of AEC brings opportunities at once a threat to rural economy. The rural commercialization that has been the direction of government policy throughout the 1950s to 2000s has not achieved significant results because it is not in accordance with the characteristics of rural communities. The process of agricultural commercial growth precisely pinches the farmers on two pressures at once, the increasingly urban biased government policy and the two market pressures (controlled by business actors). Therefore, in the face of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) which means the market is present everywhere including in rural areas then this is a threat from the AEC in rural communities. As an opportunity, BUMDes should be able to build institutional and social capital by building networks that occur among villagers, village government, central government, intellectuals and investors while providing trust among stakeholders by preparing rules of the games, which sided with the village community. In other words, the market with the commercialization principle through the AEC is not faced with face to face with individuals in rural communities but must deal with the institutions through BUMDes by building a strong social capital without ignoring the role of village leadership as agents of change. Keywords : Asean Economic Community, BUMDes, instututional, social capital

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis dan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif

The purpose of the study was to determine the role of problem-based learning model to critical thinking ability and creative thinking ability. The subjects were students of semester IV Mathematics Education Study Program, University of Indraprasta PGRI, Jakarta in 2013/2014, in the subject of Basic Chemistry II. The selection of the class for this study was based on multistage random sampling. Experiments conducted on the sample of 30 experimental class students with problem-based learning model and 30 control class students with expository learning model. The data was collected by implementing tests of critical thinking ability and creative thinking ability with essay test. Analysis of research data using MANOVA support by SPSS. From the results of the study concluded that learning models give influence to the critical thinking ability and creative thinking ability together (F=21,815;p=0.000)

The Impact of Tayub Exploitation on the Tradition and Life of Javanese Society

This study is aiming at finding out the impact of Tayub exploitation on the tradition and life of Javanese society. Research approach implemented in this study was qualitative. In addition, the research technique employed was interview, observation, documentation, and literary study. Results show that the new form of Tayub diminishes the structure of feminism, neglects simplicity, gentleness and spontaneity that are supposed to be part of Tayub dance. The movement of dance, music, and costume are also changed into a total different form, compared with the genuine version of Tayub dance. These major changes do not only bring negative impacts on the dance structure, but also change the society\u27s mindset and behavior. People living in the countryside part of Java have lost their control towards customs\u27 regulation and a philosophy that used to be held tightly by them

The integrated 3-point correlation function of cosmic shear

We present the integrated 3-point shear correlation function $i\zeta_{\pm}$ -- a higher-order statistic of the cosmic shear field -- which can be directly estimated in wide-area weak lensing surveys without measuring the full 3-point shear correlation function, making this a practical and complementary tool to 2-point statistics for weak lensing cosmology. We define it as the 1-point aperture mass statistic $M_{\mathrm{ap}}$ measured at different locations on the shear field correlated with the corresponding local 2-point shear correlation function $\xi_{\pm}$. Building upon existing work on the integrated bispectrum of the weak lensing convergence field, we present a theoretical framework for computing the integrated 3-point function in real space for any projected field within the flat-sky approximation and apply it to cosmic shear. Using analytical formulae for the non-linear matter power spectrum and bispectrum, we model $i\zeta_{\pm}$ and validate it on N-body simulations within the uncertainties expected from the sixth year cosmic shear data of the Dark Energy Survey. We also explore the Fisher information content of $i\zeta_{\pm}$ and perform a joint analysis with $\xi_{\pm}$ for two tomographic source redshift bins with realistic shape-noise to analyse its power in constraining cosmological parameters. We find that the joint analysis of $\xi_{\pm}$ and $i\zeta_{\pm}$ has the potential to considerably improve parameter constraints from $\xi_{\pm}$ alone, and can be particularly useful in improving the figure of merit of the dynamical dark energy equation of state parameters from cosmic shear data.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRAS; v2 matches the accepted manuscript; 18 pages + appendi

The Effect of Warm Ginger Compress Towards Joint Pain of the Elderly at Upt Panti Werdha Mojopahit, Mojokerto District

Background: There was joint pain that frequently happens by the elderly, which was joint pain. One of actions to abate the joint pain was compress with warm ginger.Objectives: The aims of this research were to identify the effect of warm ginger compress towards joint pain of the elderly at UPT Panti Werdha Mojopahit, Mojokerto District.Method: Design of this research was Pre-Experiment with Type of one group pre-test-post test design. Population of this research was whole of elderly who undergoes joint pain at UPT Panti Werdha Mojopahit Mojokerto district. Technique that used to take sample in this research was purposive sampling with 20 respondents. Data collecting was done before and after warm ginger compress was given use pain scale instrument PAINAD with 1-10 scale. The researcher used Wilcoxon statistic test with value of α=0, 05 to analyze the data.Results: The result of this research wasgained before carried out by warm ginger compress with advance pain scale of 6 respondents (30%), and intermediate pain scale of 10 respondents (50%). After the warm ginger compress was done by 8 respondents (40%) with light pain scale and 11 respondents (55%) with intermediate pain. Data analyzing used statistic test with Wilcoxon P value test 0,003 (α˂ 0, 05). It showed that warm ginger compress effective towards joint pain of the elderly.Conclusion: Looking at the result above shows that warm ginger compress can be created as one of alternative choices to decrease joint pain intensity of the elderly, because this non-pharmacologist treatment uses easy to be obtained ingredient and there is no side effect for the elderly
